Poop Issues...help Please!

Well I woke up last week at 4 in the morning pooping just blood. I had have experienced allot of cramps in the past but the these were pretty intense. I had a constant urge to poop. I went to the doctor that day and she said I had hemroids wich would explain the bleeding and that I was getting the flu wich would explain the cramping and to expect to have direah for the next few days and sent me home. Thing is that I never got the flu (only flu symptom was the cramping wich didn't feel the same as when I get the flu). The bleeding contined over the next 24 hrs. It started to mix with allot of mucas eventually becoming just mucas unless I was pooping and then the poop was covered in blood. The other symptom I have been having over the past few months is that I feel nasuas and my tummy is a little achy after pooping. I never had any itching or anything. My gut keeps telling me she isn't right. The cramping with all this bleeding from what I can find has nothing to do with hemroids. So my question is....what else could be going on here....is this somthing I need to get checked out further? I have never herd of celiac causing bleeding.....could it be related to that? I can't switch drs due to insurance though.

If you blood is bright red, most likely it is from the hemmroids. If your blood is dark red than it is from further up, i.e. rectum or colon.

Cramping and mucous can both be from gluten. Did you eat anything different?

I also know that bright red blood can be from a fissure (a tear in the anus). My son has this problem as did I years ago. I know from experience that there can be a lot of blood from this which is very scary. There is also a lot of pain and pressure (like you have to poop). I don't think it would cause cramping and mucus though. Just a thought.

I hadn't eatin anything new or anything outside of our house (wich is totaly gluten-free). When I get glutened I always seem to have heart burn wich I did not experience with this. The doctor did look at me and I did not have a tear (I have had many tears in the past and this didn't seem anything like that)....she confirmed the bleeding was all from the inside. It was bright red with the first passing but then turned a bit. Problem I see is the amount of mucas and especially the cramping that happened with this....from what I can find cramping in my stomach area has nothing to do with hemroids.....that's what has got me concerned. The doctor passed this cramping off as the flu wich I am 100% postive I didn't have. I am concerened that there is another problem that needs to be taken care of. As many people on here I do not trust doctors at all. Does anyone know were these symptoms might fit? The only thing I found that fit was UC except I don't have constant direah so I don't think it is that.

      Usually, the blood testing is done first and the endoscopy/biopsy follows for confirmation if there are positive antibody test scores. Historically, the endoscopy with biopsy has been considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. If the tTG-IGA scores are very high (5x-10x normal), some doctors will forego the endoscpoy/biopsy and grant a celiac disease diagnosis without it. So, if you are starting with the endoscopy/biopsy that may be all you need to arrive at a diagnosis. Another possibility would be for the GI doc to do a blood draw for antibody testing on the same day you come in for the endoscopy/biopsy.

      Thanks,Scott. Yes, I had already seen those

      Unless your blood antibody levels are 10x the celiac disease positive level they usually do an endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      I haven't had any of this blood work and my GI doctor immediately scheduled the endoscopy with biopsy based on the large area of inflammation found during my colonoscopy and me relating all the other symptoms I'm experiencing. If the blood testing is positive do you still have to have the endoscopy with a positive biopsy to be definitively diagnosed with celiac? Seems like a waste of money and risk to do it backwards 😕

      Many super sensitive celiacs do have issues with this, especially if they work in a bakery or area where flour may be in the air. Some even seem to have issues being in areas where bread is being baked. Here are some threads here on this:
