I was just diagnosed 4 days ago and have been eating gluten free and I was wondering if anyone went through a period of being constipated. What should I expect through the next few weeks? Help please!

One thought: if bread was your main fiber source, perhaps you need more fiber?

It can take months to get everything adjusted and working smoothly. Hang in there.

Oh....and drink extra water. Damaged intestines seem to need extra water.

Hi Kayshae, and welcome!

Getting started cab be a bit of a rollercoaster experience. Your body needs time adjust to the diet change and heal. You might be well off to avoid sugars and starches and take some probiotics. Also avoid dairy and soy. Eating only whole foods for a few months is a good thing. Healing can take months to years depending on many factors.

I'm just a few days further into my diagnosis than you. :) A few days ago, I was quite blocked up for a couple of days but it passed now. C is something I've always had though.

From what I understand, many people go through withdrawl from gluten for a couple of weeks so we could have a few more rocky days ahead of us... For me it's the headache in it's third day. Ouch. :rolleyes:

Hang in there. I hope you feel well soon.

Hang in there! Once you get going it will get easier. The beginning is all about learning and trying new things! Good luck to you!!

i've had the opposite trouble - starches seem to solidify things for me, and i cut most of them out at first! slowly eating more, though, trying to equalize...

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By PlanetJanet · Posted

      After looking at Google images, the spleen is on the upper left abdomen, too!  An organ, part of the lymphatic system for immune function.  A filter.  Wonder how this relates to gluten sensitivity?

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By PlanetJanet · Posted

      Hello, everyone, This upper left side pain is interesting to me.  I have this same pain almost all the time.  Started 2009 when I got diverticulitis for the first time.  Then had left ovarian cyst removed and a diagnosis of endometriosis all over inside.  Been attempting gluten-free since 2018.  It's not perfect, but still have that left sided pain.  Like up under the rib cage.  I believe the pancreas head is on that side, so I often wonder if I have a tumor or something there.  But it could also be an endometriosis adhesion in my belly.  I never got scraped.

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      By DMCeliac · Posted

      One of my biggest issues is when a brand chooses to label one item gluten free, but not another. Why is Hunt's diced tomatoes labeled gluten free, but not the paste or sauce? I would have assumed they were all gluten-free, but why label one and not the others? It makes me suspicious.

      Most of these items would be naturally gluten-free, with very little chance of cross contamination, thus they don't typically label them as gluten-free. If wheat is a potential allergen large companies disclose this in the ingredients as "Allergens: wheat."
