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.

      Sometimes I end up spitting out a drink of water! But for the most part I do ok with the liquids that I've been sticking to which Is hardly anything carbonated (meaning diet soda mainly)  I drink alot of tea which I make myself lipton cold brew sweetened with half sugar and half Splenda, smoothies when I could in the beginning but made with milk so I'm now using orange juice instead of the milk but it doesn't workout real often I drink black coffee in the mornings with no trouble usually and I've been experimenting with some juices but the sugar content is a set back I'm not a huge water fan but will drink it unfortunately where I live I can't do the tap water I'm the only one who has a problem with it apparently but for some reason I just can't...unless I'm using it in coffee or tea and the tea even took me some time to stand yes I have thought about boost/ ensure but they are very costly for someone who is scrapping the bottom at this time

      Do you believe your swallowing is a manifestation of your neuropathy? I'm thinking if you are having trouble getting food down you need to focus on consuming things that have a high nutritional density so that whatever you are able to get down counts for something. Have you looked at Boost and other high protein/high calorie shake products?  They are fortified with vitamins and minerals as well. Do you have any trouble with aspiration of liquids? For celiac testing purposes, the guidelines are calling for daily consumption of about 10gm of gluten - the amount in about 4-6 slices of bread - in order to ensure valid testing. That sounds like it would be a challenger for you.

      Thank you and I am aware that I should be eating a "normal" diet until tested it's kind of been trial and error for my diet or more like just ERROR! I about 1-3 bites a meal I'm to a point that 99 percent of the time I'm having trouble swallowing just about everything occasionally I find either something or a very small window of time that allows me to get very little of something! I am basically getting zero nutrition what so ever because I take one bite of the meal that I usually just slaved over just to end up tossing it when it's all said and done...did anyone else ever experience anything like this?  I am more then open to suggestions! It is taking a very extreme toll on me and my body forsure

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.
