Has anyone ever heard of diarrhea that happens all of a sudden, no chance to get up and get to the bathroom? It is happening immediately and there is no control.

Oh, yes! Very much a problem with me and has been for years. Soo embarrasing. I've been diagnosed with IBS but nothing helps. I am going to be tested for celiac disease in the fall when I go to my GI.

I have been having this problem too.....a combination of constipation and sudden diarrhea....until I began eating gluten free. I too will be tested in October, but I will remain gluten free regardless of the results.

Chances are if you've been gluten free for a while, you'll test negative.
This has been a nasty problem of mine for YEARS! Has cost me more than one job, relationship, etc.
Now, I'm finding that in addition to staying gf, I also need to curtail sugar consumption, and be aware that antibiotics can trigger this "looseness" too.

I have heard both from different people. You will test negative or you won't test negative if you are already on a gluten free diet. Which one is the right way to eat and how will I find out for sure which will reveal accurate results? I am going to have a blood test maybe as early as next week. In October I will have a colonoscopy.
I just started the gluten free diet yesterday. Now I am confused and don't know what to do.

If you have been Gluten Free for a while, it is very likely you will have a FALSE negative blood test result. I tortured myself eating food with gluten until I had the test and got the results. Positive for me. Been GF for about 4-5 days now. Seeing some signs of improvement.
Before you change your diet, get a confirmation on what you have. Good luck!

I was diagnosed with Celiac disease 12 years ago through an endoscopy. To be entirely sure that you have celiac, please do not go on a gluten free diet until you've been diagnosed because you want to be 100% sure that you have it. Eating gluten free is an extreme diet change and one that you will not want to maintain if you are not sure you have celiac. I eat gluten free and normally feel great. Unfortunately, I'm going through a period where I've had acute, chronic diarrhea for about 6 weeks now. I am scheduled for a colonoscopy and endoscopy at the end of the month. I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if they ever figured out what was causing it.
Good luck telok. I hope you feel better soon.
