Hi everyone. I have had problems for 2 years now. All started with explosive gas with mucus discharge and noisy stomach bowel. Ive had blood done and all ok. Ct with contrast which showed a focal constriction but that was a few weeks after normal colonoscopy so no futher action. I went gluten free and my symptoms cleared up and many months clear but im abroad at the moment and my symptoms are all back. Can gluten intolerance cause mucus discharge from anus?

This symptom would be more typical of celiac disease where you would get flattened villi and sometimes lesions in your intestines, and it's still possible you could have developed celiac disease. It sounds like you may have gotten gluten in your diet during your travels, and symptoms are now returning. I'm not sure of your prior celiac disease testing and your results, but at the very least it sounds like you are in the non-celiac gluten sensitivity category, but could have undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Are Good & Gather Products Safe?

      Are you using the same mixer that you used for your gluten containing baking? That could be your culprit.

      I would ask for a total IGA test (aka, Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. That test should always be ordered along with the TTG IGA. If someone is IGA deficient, their individual celiac IGA test scores will be artificially low which can result in false negatives. Make sure you are eating generous amounts of gluten leading up to any testing or diagnostic procedure for celiac disease to ensure validity of the results. 10g of gluten daily for a period of at least 2 weeks is what current guidelines are recommending. That's the amount of gluten found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      There was not a total IGA test done, those were the only two ordered. I would say I was consuming a normal amount of gluten, I am not a huge bread or baked goods eater

      Were you consuming generous amounts of gluten in the weeks leading up to the blood draw for the antibody testing? And was there a Total IGA test done to test for IGA deficiency?

      Thank you for the reply. It was the TTG IGA that was within normal limits
