OKay, I have to ask this here cause my wife does not know the answer and I dont want to pay co-apy at my doc to find out a silly question like this. Since going back on gluten (for the test) I have notice that my poop floats now, and color shifts from brown to greenish to blackish. I can not see any odvious connection to what I ate that day since I typical eat about the same thing most of the time. For example I eat big bowl of Maple Brown Sugar Shredded Wheat for breakfast, for launch I have a sandwhich on whole weat (roastbeef, or somthing like that). Dinner is some form of protein, starch and a salad normall. Coffee and water make up almost all of my drinks.

So is that NORMAL or a sign of celiac disease? Or somthing else Ineed worry about? (cause, can never have enough to worry about!)

celiac disease, all the way. It floats because of the malabsorption of fats. One test that is sometimes used to dx celiac disease is fat content in stools. I wouldn't worry about it; when is your test?

Not for a while since I been gluten-free for so long... so on gluten for 3 months be for being restest... so closer to Turkey day. Its been a saga thats lead me to the decsion to do the glutne fro 3 months followed by a re-test.

You are probably asking the wrong bunch of people what is normal for poop! Yeah, if they used to sink and now float and are funny colors on gluten, I would say that is a strong indicator. I am surprised you were willing to go back on gluten. I don't think I could do it. My poop is different everyday after going gluten-free 4 months ago, but I have probably had accidents an not completely healed. Before going gluten-free, I thought everyones' floated!

When they sink..........it's a good day. (2 months gluten-free)
