GF diet and constipation       12/03/08 08:08 AM Edit Reply Quote Zara Reged: 06/07/06 Posts: 883 So, this topic has come up before, but I feel like posting helps me center my thoughts. Plus, that way I will get more insight from you guys! I've been tested for celiacs (don't have) and in the past when I was on the GF diet I felt much better (I was on the diet because I wanted to give it a shot, not because of a doctor's recommendation). Now that I think about it though, I think the reason I felt "well" was because during that time I got some stomach bug that made me D for about 2 months. But mostly I was able to get things done in the a.m. so the D was a welcome change. Well, I got "better" (or "worse" in my books), going back to C. At that time I quit the GF diet because I wasn't really better off. I did notice, however, that when I reduce my wheat intake, I get little less bloated (of course, when I haven't gone for days I'm still like a baloon, wheat/gluten or not). The problem is that I've been substituting wheat with rice flour and white rice (I ate out and rice was the only safe thing available besides potatoes), and I think that's what making me even more C. I have not gone "number 2" since last Friday until this afternoon, and that was only because I took some MOM last night. This has happened to me in the past, and it always starts my inner debate, whether I should try GF, wheat free, yes wheat but only mixed with whole, etc. The GF diet works for my bloating but contributes to my C. I feel like it may be helping in the way that I'm not eating as much "junk" (cookies, even if they're low-fat, etc.). I guess what I'm asking is, those of you who have tried GF, how did it make you feel, did you stick to it? -------------------- IBS-C, bloating, cramps pregnant Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
