If your going to get tested for celiac you need to keep eating gluten until your tests are finished. Did the doctor who did the colonoscopy mention internal hemmies? They can cause bleeding. Do mention the bleeding to the doctor. In my case I bleed when I get glutened but it is good to rule out anything else. That may mean another scope if it has been awhile since the others were done.

I agree with raven,,, be sure to rule everything else out first.

One of my reactions to soy is bleeding, even with slight cross contamination

Thanks. Im starting to eat normal agains so i can get tested. Neither of my doctors said anything about internal hemmies. Only thing he said was IBS and possible Proctitis. The doctor that did the colonoscopy twice for me didnt seem to care much about the bleeding, just gave me pills that didnt work. Im trying a new doctor hoping he finds something to help me. Im sure this doctor will want to do another colonoscopy too.

Eating gluten free is just helping my stomach so much i was really hoping it would stop the bleeding too. I noticed last night i ate some bread and late last night and this morning i just have a cramp like pain and been bleeding even more.. thats what makes me think its something working together? idont know?? its just hard to deal with and figure it out this young.

You can't heal your intestine overnight by not eating gluten. It takes time. You also may think you are gluten free but not really be gluten free. Gluten is in many different foods where you would not expect it.

I had bleeding also but it did stop after I had been gluten-free for awhile. I am not talking days but months. That doesn't mean it will take that long for you, and it doesn't mean you won't be getting improvements everyday as you go along each day on the diet.

      After seeing 2 doctors for a rash on my elbows and forearms, that did NOT get better with steroids or creams, I was directed to a dermatologist.  She took a biopsy from one of the lesions, September 3, 2024.   A week later, the result was dermatitis herpetiformis, positive for celiac. She prescribed Clobetasol Propionate USP, 0.05% cream.  This is the only thing that helped with the rash. The dermatologist then took a second biopsy from an area that was near the rash that was clearing up.  That biopsy came back negative. Meanwhile, the dermatologist referred me to a gastroenterologist PA.  The battery of bloodwork was mixed, some showing weak positive for celiac, but my IgA was...

      Although the gluten challenge guidelines suggest at least two weeks of at least 10g of gluten daily, I would go for 4 weeks to make sure - if you can tolerate it, that is. When you go in for the blood draw, make sure to ask your physician to order not only the tTG-IGA test but the total IGA test. The tTG-IGA test result cannot be trusted if you are IGA deficient. The total IGA test checks for IGA deficiency. Many physicians will order only the tTG-IGA. So, at the minimum, the doc should order the tTG-IGA and the total IGA. There are other celiac antibody tests that can also be ordered for a more comprehensive panel, especially in the case of IGA deficiency.  Here is an overview of celiac...

      She carries one of the two primary genes that indicate the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population carries one or both of these genes but only about 1% of the general population develops celiac disease. So, the gene test cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used as a rule out measure. Having either one of the genes provides the potential for developing celiac disease with the HLADQ2, in my understanding, providing the strongest potential of the two while having both genes provides an even stronger potential. What meds did the physician put her on for the ulcers?

      Thanks, @trents. That was what I was thinking of as well, but I'm a huge worrier and keep doubting if it was right thing to do so it seemed better to ask more experienced people. My diet won't be 100% gluten free unfortunately, but I'm thinking of using it as an opportunity to keep a food log and try to see what makes things worse.

      Her Dr gave her meds for the ulcers and recommend the genetic blood test to rule out celiac. Got those results and the hla-dq2 is positive the hla-dq8 is negative. So I’m not sure what this all means. Waiting to hear from the Dr again. She has been eating gluten and did say she got bad stomach pain again the other day but it hasn’t happened in a few weeks so I’m not sure if it’s from gluten or the ulcers.
