default
Posted on Fri, 2 Jan 2015
Question: Over the past several months I have started having diarrhea, with foul smelling stools. I know I am gluten sensitive, but the burning that I get rectally with the diarrhea seems to be there even if there is no gluten in my diet that I can think of.

Brief Answer:
look for hidden sources of gluten in diet

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

The most common cause of diarrhoea can be hidden gluten in your diet
Beer, fermented drinks, tooth paste, vitamin pills, capsules, soy sauce, salad dressings, lip balms, candies and soups, nutritional supplements can be a source of gluten .

Make sure and check that you are not using any of the items mentioned above.

In case you are using one of the items mentioned above avoiding them should help with the symptoms.

In case you are not using any of the above try adding probiotics to your diet. Consult your doctor for a prescription.

In case your symptoms still persist you would need additional tests to ascertain whether your symptoms are due to gluten allergy or some other cause.

Hope this helps.

Do get back in case you have further queries.
Regards.
