With hemorrhoids, if your bowels get really irritated, like with diarrhea or constipation, bloody stools can happen. It can range from a bit of red on the tissue paper to full on disturbingly red toilet bowl water. Could it be a hemi? They're harmless, just a, well.... pain in the butt. I hope that's all it is for you.

Best wishes.

Hi,

Yes, I get blood in stool from gluten and dairy. It doesn't last three weeks for me but long enough. Dairy doesn't do it right away but if I eat it for a week, oops.

now if i accidently have gluten i have bloody diarrhea for about 3 weeks.is this common for anyone else?

I have celiac disease for 30 years, I don't have UC. I cheated in 2007 and again in 2012 (suspect CC) but bloody stool due to celiac disease? NO.

Hope this helps.

I have the same issue, and can’t find any info on if this happens to others. It is not hemroids and will happen even with passing gas and 5/6 times per day for weeks following ingestion of gluten or dairy. I’m also thinking it may have something to do with folic acid. I will also get nosebleeds after consuming even gluten and dairy free foods that have folic acid in them. Anyone else?

You just responded to a post from 2013 for more relevant responses in the future make a new thread.

Regarding your issues I had bloody stool for years....thought it was something else perhaps related to celiac, but the issue for me turned out to be I had also developed Ulcerative Colitis and flare ups with it caused bleeding. For most flare ups with it are caused by gluten, dairy, soy, etc. For me and for some other triggers exist like glucose, fructose, starchy carbs, sugars in general. I went on a ketogenic diet to  deal with it and it works wonders. Might want to look into it. BTW other things to help treat it are marshmallow root capsules (nature way), and drinking aloe vera juice to help coat and sooth the intestines, collagen, and glucosomine are others. I heard slippery elm might work help but I just use the others for my regime with diet.

Have you had a colonoscopy? If not it would be a good idea to contact the GI doctor that diagnosed you about the bleeding. You could have something more than celiac going on.  I pass blood for a day or two after being glutened but having this going on even when just passing gas and having it last for weeks really needs to be evaluated.  Until you can see your doctor make sure you are not taking asprin or any other blood thinning drug or supplement.

Yes, I had the colonoscopy that diagnosing me with celiac (as well as dna test by allergy specialist with all 3 genetic markers) the bleeding wasn’t going on at the time of the colonoscopy but started not long after. My pcp sent me back to the gi, but he didn’t redo anything and just said it’s probably hemorrhoids and prescribed me cream. I tried to explain the connection of when it happens and how I can have regular stool, soft stool, gas and it start, or lots of times have hard stool or diahrea with absense of trigger foods and it never bleed. He didn’t do any exam and basically just told me I should go to the Mayo Clinic.

Colonoscopies can't dx you with celiac. Only endoscopies.

No, it is not common, but you can reach the small intestine from the colon.   ?

Sorry if I’m not very technical, but they went in both directions and checked everything and diagnosed me celiac from what they found. I’ve also had igg testing and ige testing, and like I said, dna testing through the allergy specialist, and my own 23&me dna test that also matched up with everything else saying celiac and dairy intolerant, along with a ton of other allergies and intolerances, and the mth-fr gene mutation and Hashimoto’s hypothyroid.

If you are passing more than a couple drops of blood you need to find another GI doctor for a second opinion. If your present doctor gets offended then you need to drop him like a hot rock.  If you can easily get to the Mayo clinic then go there. If not then find another locally.  Is it possible you are continually reglutening yourself? There is a lot to the gluten-free lifestyle that involves more than just checking to make sure the foods are gluten free. How it is prepared is also important and well as stuff like not kissing gluten eaters without them brushing their teeth first, using gluten containly lotions on your hands and then eating finger foods and much more. By the way an upper scope is called an endoscopy. You had both an endoscopy and a colonoscopy at diaagnosis. Do get your medical records also with copies of labs and endo/colonoscope results.

My son had horrible bloody stools and stomach pain as a toddler. He became very anemic. We did an elimination diet and found that stopping dairy helped but he wasn't completely better until he stopped eating wheat. Once he healed, he could have dairy with no problems. I think dairy just exacerbated the problem when he had damage from the gluten. Since then he has been glutened a few times (family members who didn't believe in celiac :angry:, or parent volunteers at school who didn't know what gluten was) and he had bloody stools and pain each time. He just gets regular diarrhea and cramps from cross contamination like fries from a fryer shared with gluten. The GI doctor did a scope of some kind when he was a baby because of the severity of the bleeding but no blood test. I think it's too late to test now because he would have to eat gluten to test.

      Does autoimmune thyroid disease (Hypothyroidism) elevate Ttg levels ? I have had 3 blood test results where ttg levels are around 39-43 (range 0-19). The first test was in 2021 before I was diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid disease. I had an endoscopy in 2021 which was negative. Diagnosed with Autoimmune thyroid disease this year and tested for celiac disease as two diseases often coexist. First results showed ttg  of 43 , total iga in range and negative for ema . Dr wanted to retest in 12 weeks and I’ve just had results with ttg dropping to 39, total iga in range but did not test EMA. The only thing that has changed between 2 and 3 test is being on levothyroxine for my thyroid. I don’t know whether I should have a second endoscopy? Dr is seeking advice from gastroenterologist. i did read that Autoimmune thyroid disease /Hashimoto disease can elevate ttg levels. Any advice please?

      @trents I absolutely understand the perspective of getting off completely from wheat,  but sometimes situation may occur that you won't have choice to eat other than wheat,  my son travels a lot, since they travel in team, it's not easy to go out and find him a gluten free every single time! I have seen, even in NJ I m struggling to find out gluten free stuff, in this country we don't get fresh food in stores, other day i saw gluten free bread so hard that will never feel to eat it! Once in while means once in a while, when there is no absolute option. Here all goes by book, there is no enough scientific research done yet on eating gluten with celiac,  everyone has there own narrative,  only it being said don't eat wheat, but Noone has come up with the experience. And moreover my sons diagnosis is yet to define, whether he has celiac or NCGS. last time his endoscopy came negative hence doctor did not bother to tell us. I hope this time it will be the same case. We are figuring out why his billirubin is high, may be that could be the reason his igg iga test is high, will get check on all and come to the conclusion. My son and us is absolutely fine not eating gluten, but one can't guarantee that every time they will get the gluten free food other than home. I also don't trust under the table of "gluten free products" have see people still have same iga igg count even after following the diet. This is all learnings, will keep him under observation and go through the regular testing to find out how his body reacts to what.  I may sound like a fool, but medical is scam in US, hence i would consult doctors in India. 14 years ago they have announced i had a breast cancer, which was not, since then I don't trust medical system here.
