Hemmorhoids

I got tested for celiac disease 6 months ago and my test was negative, however, I hadn't eaten gluten for months when I had the test. Whenever I do have gluten or potatoes, I get really bad hemmorhoids. I generally have a very loose stool sometimes with blood in it, but none of the other celiac disease symptoms. The doctors I've seen have no idea what's wrong. Is it possible to have an allergy to gluten, without having celiac disease? I'm baffled and frustrated.

Hi--welcome! :) The test you had for Celiac 6 months ago were negative because you had been off gluten for so long. That really dosen't tell you anything. Do you feel better off gluten? I'm assuming you do, and that's why you were not consuming it. The positive response to the gluten-free diet is in and of itself proof of gluten intolerance. It is certainly possible to have an allergy to wheat *and* have Celiac. It is also possible to have one *or* the other. Celiac is not an allergy--it's an autoimmune disorder. To check to see if you have an allergy to wheat, or the other gluten grains, you would need to see an Allergist.

hemmies are a sign - for me - that I've gotten dairy. if the stool itself has blood *in* it, not on, you should be referred to GI's or other docs until they figure out what's going on.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.

      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)

      Correction: My previous post refers to hickory products when I actually meant bakery products.
