Re: Frequent urination a possible symptom of CD?

[Guest guest]

It may be a symptom. But not because the liquid isn't being

absorbed. In order for you to urinate, liquid is absorbed into the

bloodstream and then filtered out by the kidneys and into the bladder.

Crap! I was hoping it was just a side effect of CD. I don't want to add

another aliment to the list.

One more thing... Now that I think of it.... before I went GF, I retained fluid. It was slight, but I still retained fluids. I would have urges to go and it wouldn't be that productive.

Now that I am GF, I do urinate more than before. A lot more.

I have had that symptom, and it has gotten almost back to normal since I've been GF... and comes back when I've been glutenized.

I'm tickled with all the responses to this question, so thank you

everyone. Looks like the best thing to do right now is talk with my

doctor.

For those wondering, I am a 35 year old male who was diagnosed with

celiac disease back in September 2005.

Haven't been following this thread completely but has anyone mentioned the

possibility of a different food allergy besides your celiac issues? When DS

was three and not potty training very well we also had him tested for

delayed reaction food allergies and came up with soy, egg, banana and a few

others. They were called a Type 3 allergy I think, which is an IgG one not

the immediate hives and anaphylaxis you get with IgE. Anyway, we took him

off of the offenders and " Hallelujah! " no more accidents of either kind

within 36 hours. Bionutritionist explained that the delayed allergies can

cause internal inflammation and swelling.

But I would also still check out the diabetes possibility. That one is too

serious to ignore. And a lot of gf food substitutes wind up being high

glycemic ones if we are not careful.

Just so you don't feel alone, I had this issue before I went GF. I also

have it happen to me if I get glutened or if I'm simply constipated.

My very-uneducated guess is that it has something to do with inflammation

perhaps? Because that's mainly what happens to me when I get glutened -

general inflammation.

I've had this problem recently, too. I live my life on the verge of dehydration. I'm 42 and suddenly peeing like crazy. I peed so much I know I had to be more than dehydrated, but my urine was barely colored. My FIL is diabetic so he has a test kit, but my sugar was normal (85 first thing in the morning). I never did figure out what it was, but it went away. It could have been an infection of some sort because after it started, I went to my doctor with an overall bad feeling, and coughing. He put me on antibiotics for 10 days. It took a week longer than the meds, but it's back to having some color, and I'm still drinking the same amount.

Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis is characterized by excessive

eosinophiles and other lyphocytes around the upper GI.

During the 'gluten' stimulated reaction Gluten-food peptides are

presented to the immune system, sometimes food particles and food

antigens leak into the periteneal cavity stimulating acites

accumulation around the upper GI. This fluid and swelling in not part

of the circulation. You can be clinically dehydrated (as I was many

times) and have a gallon of retained fluid swimming around your GI.

The first trip I made to the hospital I was feeling really bloated,

unable to digest, my weight was 183 lbs, after tossing 18 hours worth

of food from my stomach, I checked myself into the hospital, the IV

resulted in Diarrhea for 2 days and extreme bouts of urination and 3

days later my weight measured at the same time of day was 169 lbs.

The GI doctor (who BTW made an incorrect DX) told me I was lying, and

that the sudden unexplained rupture of my stomach was a fluke.

From that time till I went GF, I would gain weight for several days,

and then suddenly start urinating in some cases I would go to the

bathroom 10 times a night (It was a good feeling, despite the way it

sounds) and ussually preceded or followed a bowel movement (every 3

to 9 days).

After Going GF, I have noticed that food allergies have a similar

response although nowhere near as severe. The ascites accumulation is

out of the picture, but allergens can cause an allergic response,

retained fluid (elevated blood pressure), which when resolved for me

has a mild increase in urination. Since the muscles that control the

urge to urinate are close to the lower bowel, irritation of the lower

bowel as a result of allergic responses can trigger a premature urge

to urinate. This happens to me alot, after defecating having to

return to the restroom five minutes later to urinate. This tells me I

am having problems with an allergen and to watch the diet carefully.

Other than that spicey foods can also cause problems (so I've

heard :^) ).
