Chronic constipation is definitely a symptom - for some reason the "diarrhea all the time" presentation is the only one I ever heard about before diagnosis though, and it's usually the only one doctors spot. I didn't have any other symptoms until I slowly developed lactose intolerance and painful cramps after eating. I eventually had an episode of constipation so bad that I ended up feverish and in the ER.
After eliminating gluten from my diet I don't have any of these issues any more. I have 1-2 regular bowel movements a day.

Thanks, suspected it could be a more rare symptom. I'll look into it, glad things improved for you
