Hi! been on here a few times just went to the doctor about my bruising now I know that comes with the celiac but, all u have to do is bump me. I had a test done to see how my clotting time is and it came back that my blood coagulation is abnormal. Does Anyone know what this means? I asked my doctor but he told me nothing. I go see a ocncoligst on Friday what is the worst that this could be? I'm a little freaked out. :huh:

Hi....I dont know alot about coagulation myself however on the Lyme Disease board it is mentioned quite a bit. I read that board and many people have this same problem. I used to bruise very easily but I've improved alot and this doesnt seem to be an issue anymore.

They say you can tell if this is a problem if your blood is very thick and dark...rather than bright red and flowing easily.

Here is a description of hypercoagulation that I took from a post on that board...its kinda long though...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hypercoagulation means thickened blood. Research from the late 1990s reveals that many patients with chronic disease may have an underlying coagulation defect contributing to their symptoms. While few doctors are familiar with this condition, understanding the theory behind it can help explain many symptoms. Treatment based on this theory can lead to improvement and even recovery.

David Berg of Hemex Laboratories has been studying the hypercoagulation often found in patients with chronic disease. This list currently includes CFS/FMS, myofascial pain syndrome, osteonecrosis of the jaw, fetal loss, multiple sclerosis, Crohn

You don't say if you have hypercoagulation, or if it is the opposite (as in your blood not clotting well). If it is the former, Rachel may be right, on the other hand, if your blood won't clot easily (which also would result in easy bruising), you may just be deficient in vitamin K. Which would be caused by malabsorption due to celiac disease.

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Has any doctor suggested taking a round of Dapsone?  If you have dermatitis herpetiformis, dapsone will clear it fairly quickly.  It is not a drug you would want to take forever, but when all else failed my doc had me take it as a way to determine if it was dermatitis herpetiformis.  Sure enough it worked like a miracle and itch stopped and after 2 months the rash cleared.  Then I embarked on figuring out how to eat to avoid the breakouts.  It is my understanding that once you expose to gluten, the reaction happens and antibodies are deposited in your skin.  They can blister right away or hang around for a long time and get "activated" by other things like your monthlies, pressure, stress etc.... It makes it difficult to diagnose and difficult to manage.

      I use an app called Spoonful where you can scan labels and it will tell you whether it is safe, questionable (and why) and also something you can substitute.  It also makes it easier to see what is on the label.  There are some ingredients that I avoid in addition to gluten. You can also search the app by a category.  I just searched on "cosmetics and a few things popped up as compliant.  I think the app is mainly focused on food.  When I first started out reading labels was a nightmare and it took me so much time at the store.  This app has really helped me when I am looking at something new.  They update frequently, and if something isn't in their data base there is an AI function where you can enter the information from the label and it will analyze it right away for you. I have used an app called Find Me Gluten Free in the past when I am traveling to find restaurants.  People's reviews are very helpful because even when a restaurant claims to be able to accommodate, often people will find out differently and they report it on reviews. Hope this helps.
