Has anyone ever had blood in their poop when they have had gluten?

I have had bright red fresh from bleeding hemorroids because the diarrhea was so bad, but that is all.

I get red blood sometimes, too--the doctor found internal hemmorhiods during my colonoscopy. The bleeding, for me, is a result of irritation from D. I find that a gluten reaction can cause it, or eating something acid like tomatoes will do it, too. Any unexplained bleeding should be checked out by your doctor--just to be safe :)

What type of bleeding? As was touched on already, bright read blood is usually less concerning since it signals bleeding close to the exit, like hemmorhoids. Darker blood means it is from further up the chain. Is it a few drops on the TP or something more substantial? Do you have constipation at all?

before we found out the kids had celiac disease, they would have blood in their stool if they had dairy. We now know they couldn't handle the dairy because of the gluten. After being gluten-free for a while, then have no problems with it anymore.

TCA, your sheet states that you daughter had a Congenital Heart Defect, what exactly was wrong with her?

The summer of 91 ( or 90, we can't ever remember!!) I had ASD repair and now I am being tested and hopefulyl diagnosed(at least with something) for Celiacs

I get bleeding a lot when I have gluten. At first, I thought it was hemmorhoids, but it is never there unless I have gluten or dairy. Sometimes it would get so bad it would just drip. I went through every test under the sun, and of course it was always blamed on hemmorhoids. It is so apparent the cause now, since even after sitting for extended periods of time and having normal harder bms, I don't have bleeding hemmorhoids. It is just the severe irritation from the gluten, I guess. ( I also get canker sores and sore throats when I have gluten, so maybe some people have extremely sensitive mucous membranes to gluten?)

I will say, though, that if you have any blood in your stool, HAVE THE DOCTOR CHECK YOU. It can be very serious, and I did consult the doctor. Take care :)

My little boy, who has Celiac, also had bleeding in his stool when he was born. After changing his formula to a hypoallerginic kind (no milk or soy) it finally disappeared. His doc said it was a "casein" allergy. He also had blood on the tp a few times after starting the gluten-free diet, as he ate mostly rice. I think he may have hemorroids. I agree that as long as the blood is red and not too much, it's probably nothing serious. Lots of people I know (family members with which I can discuss such personal stuff) have seen red blood in their stool or tp. I wouldn't worry too much, but you should get it checked out.

I would defenitely get that checked out, yes you can get that frmo gluten, but it could be a sign of something far worse, like chrons and stuff. I would go to your doctor and get the stool sample kit and make it tested for all the major things that could be wrong.

My hubbie gets this too (from haemmorhoids).

I didn't realise it was caused by D!

dairy and gluten do this to me a lot. If I stay away from both, I don't have this problem. I also get a lot of pain in the right midsection when I have dairy or gluten.

She has pulmonary atresia and with a large VSD. The rerouting of her arteries was done in an open heart surgery last April when whe was 9 days old. The second to replace the conduit and close the VSD will be done this summer. I have found a paper by Dr. Fasano that shows a connection wtih congenital heart defects and celiac disease. Let me know if you would like it. If you want to know more about her story, let me know. Good luck with the diagnosis.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.

      Hello, @Hannah24 Have you had a DNA test done?  Celiac Disease is genetic.  You must have at least one gene to develop celiac disease.  You don't have to be consuming gluten for a genetic test.   Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives.  Some lucky people are seronegative, but still have celiac disease.  Peripheral neuropathy, tingling in hands and feet are symptoms of vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamin C, Thiamine B1, Niacin B3, Pyridoxine B6, and Cobalamine B12 can each cause peripheral neuropathy.  These same vitamins are needed to produce blood cells.  Most undiagnosed Celiacs suffer from nutritional deficiencies. The DNA test would be helpful.

      We do hear of cases of remission but they generally eventually revert back. I wouldn't push your luck.
