I've been tested for celiac disease and was always negative. I've mentioned on here before I've had pancreas inflammation and checked clear of gallstones supposedly. Th issue I just had again was I ate Subway which is bread and obviously gluten. Immediately I started cramping super hard almost unbearable and had so much gas the was putrid of rotted eggs, almost stronger than that . I ran to the toilet and felt constipated but still felt the urge to go with hard cramps. I pushed on my stomach and doubled over and it's TMI but I did go number 2 and it was hard stool. Few minutes later I ran to the bathroom again with hard cramps and had smoother stool then it burst into diarrhea with floating oily stools. It looks an also smells like fat malabsorption. Sorry for the tmi but can this be gluten sensitivity since I have Lyme?? I don't understand how I can go from constipated, to hard stools to diareah in a matter of minutes like is that even a thing? I Know it's TMI but I've attached a link with a pic , can someone tell me if this is fat malabsorption and if they've ever experienced this?? Thanks in advance

No idea, but Subway is loaded with vitamin D, which you might want to avoid if you're sensitive to that. Really painful diarrhea is often bartonella. Constipation can also be due to adrenal issues.

The first photo looks like I have when I take xylitol.

Re:celiac disease. My son was diagnosed with it.
It wasn’t caught until he was a teenager.
Usually it results in diarrhea but my son had the opposite.
Terrible constipation.

this is a normal thing whenever you have something upset your gut higher up

the colon is designed for fermenting the chime to extract more nutrients and then dehydrating the stool to recover moisture - and when done it stores the last batch in the lower portion ready for a bowel movement to expel it from the body as a stool - so what is stored there between movements is supposed to be relatively firm and not liquid.

when something upsets the digestive system - anything from food that disagrees, to stress, or dysbiosis, etc etc you can have several bowel movements close together - which will then become successively more liquid - because the colon will have had no time to dehydrate the chime/stool.

Ha, thanks all!! I knew someone would come around and answer me. I went onto the IBS forums to see if I can have any luck and can you believe the thousands of other people chiming about IBS and gut issues but not 1 person responded. So I actually started out with terrible constipation from bread and gluten and ha no idea what was wrong. Then after a while it turned to diareah, foul cramps diareah. Only happens to me with gluten or oil and fatty foods. Vit d is scratched off my list because I'm so deficient in vit d and I also take vit d daily so it's not that. I was under the impression subway was all processed and artificial anyway so didn't think there can be any real amount of any vitamins in it except gluten and processed meats lol. Can someone pls tell me if this looks like mucus or parasites or fat malabsorption ? My stool came out foul again today ,more like a pile, and then looks like a ribbon with all these strings floating around and attached. Sorry for the tmi again, just frustrated and want to know if anyone ever experienced this and to know I'm not losing my mind over here every time my GI doc says I'm fine. Also my celiac disease test was negative. May be gluten sensitivity still though since I have Lyme.

Forgot to mention, I did drink ginger and warm water last night, then this morning, that's what came out when I went to the bathroom. Ginger cleans you out good.

It is processed and artificial, lol. They add a bunch of stuff to it, including vitamins. It could be something else you're reacting to, besides gluten.

Subway sandwiches not only have gluten, but the meat is processed, which is not good for anything. Also, you’d be surprised how much salt is in the sandwiches.

As you’ve seen on my posts, I don’t have diarrhea, but the constipation had been hard to deal with. And gastronologists have no idea what to do if Lyme or autoimmune is involved. It’s always the same basic protocol.

Yes, I even saw on the news that they tested the subway tuna and it wasn't even tuna or fish, they didn't know wth it was lmao.

Processed meats kill me now days and high amounts of salt send me straight to that toilet lol.

I did not read all the comments.

Your gluten question-I am unfortunately an expert. Celiac and gluten sensitivity are different levels of the same. With different tests. Standard conventional medicine only tests for ful-blown Celiac. To make antibodies for this your immune system must be fully functioning. Most dont know how or are unwilling to invest time into testing that. (I do and I paid a lot for it).

I have gluten sensitivity which is no joke. I might even have Celiac but since I also have an impaired immune function (with pages lab of proof) , ....so I might even have celiac but dont make the antibodies. A Dr even said this.

Do you gut a favor and go 100% (95% does not work) glutan free for THREE months.
