Blood Blisters, Anyone Get These?

Hello Everyone!

I have searched the web (though granted, I am not that skilled) for something and I thought maybe you, knowledgeable folks could help since I could not find anything on it. My DH is totally gone now that I am gluten-free, but I have started getting (or maybe I used to get them but only just started noticing) these weird "blood blister" like things in my mouth. :huh:

They don’t hurt, and it’s not from any chewing accident or friction or anything. Just every few weeks I'll be brushing my teeth, and feel a weird bump on the inside of my cheek, look in, and color me surprised, one or two blood blisters have set up camp. They go away in less than a week, or if I lance them, they bleed, and then disappear rapidly.

Does anyone else get these? Does anyone know if they are from being a celiac, or from having a gluten exposure? I have tried to ask my doctor, but every time I get one, it is gone before I can get in to see her. The only thing I found on the web was on a fibromyalgia message board, (which is weird because I don't have but fibromyalgia, but I get the blisters) and no one there was talking about gluten as a possibility. And no one on that board seemed to know what it was, what it was from, or what to do about it or even if it's anything to worry about.

Any comments would be appreciated. :)

Hi,

I get those. They are also on the insides of my cheeks. They don't hurt at all and I ususally dont even know they're there unless I feel them with my tongue or see them in the mirror. They go away usually after only a day. I dont know what causes them and I never noticed having them pre-gluten-free...I thought they could be related to gluten ingestion but not really sure. :unsure: I actually havent seen any in over a month.

      Jason, I have a bone to pick with your terminology. There is "gluten intolerance" which I believe is synonymous with celiac disease and then there is "gluten sensitivity" which comes from Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or NCGS for short. It is true, however, that there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms.

      I can’t say this will work for everyone but for me the difference is incredible so might be worth trying. I’ve never been diagnosed celiac but via an elimination diet I realised I can’t eat any lectins, gluten soy and oats are particularly problematic. If I eat them I’m in bed for a week, then heavy bleeding and extreme pain for another, followed by a third week of bleeding on and off. My skin was a mess and it snowed when I brushed my hair. Since taking reishi and cordyceps mushroom tincture I can’t believe the difference, I’ve had a lot of help from this site so I want to return the favour. I took the tincture for my guts but the most apparent effect is that I feel like my brain works again, I can’t begin to describe how wonderful it is to be able to achieve basic things, I’ve barely been able to organise getting out of bed for so long, it feels like I haven’t been hit over the head with a mallet for the first time in years. Then I glutened myself, not necessarily gluten as so many things wipe me out but definitely ate something I shouldn’t have, I took a treble dose of the tincture and almost immediately felt much better so continued with the increased dose and three days (not weeks) later was back to feeling great, no bleeding involved. My skin is better than I can remember it ever being, I feel great 😊. I spend £1.50 a day on these but it’s worth every penny, I hope this helps someone else out there reading this. I wish I’d known about them 20 years ago. best wishes everyone 🍄

      Given your history of a high TTG (167) that decreased to 16 on a gluten-free diet, along with genetic confirmation of celiac disease, it’s likely the negative biopsy is a false negative due to not eating gluten before the endoscopy. Gluten is necessary to trigger the intestinal damage seen in celiac disease, and avoiding it can lead to healing and a normal biopsy despite ongoing immune activity (reflected in your still-elevated TTG). The inflammation observed during the endoscopy (“diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa”) could be residual damage, mild ongoing inflammation, or another condition like peptic duodenitis, but it’s consistent with celiac disease in context. Continued positive blood markers suggest ongoing gluten exposure, possibly from cross-contamination or hidden sources. Strict adherence to a gluten-free diet and follow-up testing are key to managing symptoms and reducing inflammation. Discuss these findings with your doctor to confirm the diagnosis and refine your dietary approach. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Yes, it sounds like great progress, but what was the time frame between the two endoscopies?
