I was wondering if anyone has connected constipation to having eaten gluten by mistake. I read this somewhere and after keeping track of my diet, I think I am seeing some correlation. I am trying my best to be totally gluten free but every so often I think I have a slip.

Yes, gluten can cause constipation. Before I went on a gf diet, I think gluten was contributing to my slow gut motility (slow stomach emptying, constipation) because I've seen some improvement in both conditions since starting the gf diet.
