Feeling totally different (abdominal pain, gas, burping gone) since gluten free 12 days but still have a little bright red blood when go to the bathroom in morning. Have had this off and on for 5 years and 4 years ago the surgeon said not to worry. Come back for scope when 50 (am 48). Does it take more time to heal?

Blood test will be a 6 weeks gluten free. Will it still be positive?

Thank you

Leslie

I get that sometimes, and it is usally an anal fissure (awful term, I know). They usually come from bouts of constipation and can be very painful because that is a hard place for them to heal and a very sensitive place, obviously. Because it is bright red and on the tissue, it is not a big deal health-wise, but if it is recurring and painful you may want to look into a minor surgery that will fix it.

Hello -

One of my many gastro-related symptoms in my past was anal fissures that would not heal no matter what I did...water, fiber, etc...I bled A LOT daily...was very scary...

I was put through all kinds of awful tests...ended up getting two LIS's (lateral internal sphincterotomies) - which is when they cut the sphincter muscle, so it's not as tight...I was told I was 'anatomoically small' when they couldn't figure out why I kept getting IBS, etc...I had to have it done twice, because they try to cut very little at first...

It cured the fissures, but not the gluten-intolerance related problems...

I now, of course, wonder if it was all related to gluten intolerance...and if I'd been tested years ago for celiac, those horid tests, the surgeries and 10 more years of gastro-misery may have been prevented...

Oh, well...

Am just happy to be feeling better with each passing day gluten-free - I hope your going gluten-free will help you heal without having to have surgery -

Best wishes,

Gina

After 12 days of a gluten free diet the bleeding in the morning and the soreness went away. The constipation went away on day 1 gluten-free and after four weeks the pain in a spot to the right of my belly button went away. Serology was negative on day 21 of gluten-free diet and was glaidin and transmurase only. The doc said it must be something else. Luckily Enterolab is covered by insurance (although may not cover genetic testing) so I will do that gluten-free for 5 weeks. I know what I have but need answers to motivate my mom and sister to testing as well as my daughter and son. Thanks for your support.

I have noticed that when I have hidden gluten, like for example gluten in vinegar I also bleed. Its become my alert system. I am anemic and i can't risk it. My doctors say there is no association between bleeding and gluten. But i am sure in my case there is a strong cause and effect. When I bleed I analyze every thing I ate and generally there is something that is the probable cause. I never bleed when I stick to the items i keep at home that I am sure are glutten free.

I have also had all the colonoscopies and related exams. I do not have hemorrhoids and they have never found anything wrong int the diverse tests.

I had some bleeding issues for over a year, mine were related to Ulcerative Colitis (seems to have developed from celiac). But I had it where any kind of sugar or carb, dairy, and a few other things would trigger a flare up and I would get inflammation and bleeding. Like streaks in the stools, dark blotches, and globs of clots.  Was super anemic with iron levels averaging 1-3 even with heavy supplements.   All that time I thought I had bad gut bacteria to the cause of the pain and distention I got.  Never noticed any correlation between it and gluten poisoning but I have been pretty much gluten-free for over 3+ years now.  Supposedly gluten is another trigger for UC flare ups but I am not going to test that.

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      By Dizzyma · Posted

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
