Blood In Stool

Last night I ate dinner at the Whole Foods salad bar, and was very careful, but as you all know, it was a salad bar. I felt okay after, but this morning felt as though I had been horribly glutened.

I guess I was.

Anyway, I diarreahed and then the second round came. It was small, and a little bloody. Does anyone get blood in their stools after being glutened?

Also, is a 'delayed' reaction possible? (Feeling it this morning instead of last night)?

Thanks.

It made me sad so I went on a shopping spree at the mall and spent over $500. :lol:

Lorka - I'm curious...have you been diagnosed Celiac through blood test or biopsy?

self-diagnosed.

Red blood in stool can happen, from what I understand, with hemorrhoids or with good old diarrhea when you get irritated from food. However, I don't think blood in stool is very common for Celiac disease, if I'm correct. Before I was diagnosed with celiac disease I had to go through some testing for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's...not fun, but it's really important to get the appropriate diagnosis so you're treated accordingly.

Have you considered going to the doctor and getting the ttg bloodwork done to make sure Celiac disease is the condition you have (I'm so sorry I'm not up to date on your posts, I'm rather new here)? I'm curious because I do see some people are the board who are self-diagnosed and I find it interesting.

Blood in the stool is something about which you should see a gastroenterologist. It could be something minor, or it could be something more serious that needs treatment. It's best not to take a chance with something like this.

My experience is that I get a spot of red blood about three times a year, once only each time i.e. not continuing to happen later the same day.

Red = it comes from very low down, outside the actual bowel.

Black stool = blood coming from the intestines, is serious so see doctor.

My doctor didn't go through the usual diagnostic procedures with me so I wouldn't mind further examinations at some stage if done properly.

Crohns & other illnesses can have the same symptoms as celiac disease, can improve on gluten-free-WF diet, also can co-occur with celiac disease.

If you get the chance of proper investigations and also simply chatting with the doctor about this, I hope you will benefit.

If I get glutened and get constipation, my hemmroids (yeah, I'm 26 and have 'em... blah!) get aggrivated and there can be bright red blood *on* the surface of the stool when having a bowel movement. If there is blood *in* the stool, particularly if it's dark, see your doctor immediately.

To whom ever said they have hemroids at 26 dont fell bad. i'm 23 and having two kids didn't cause me a problem(as I was told it can) but this has. Mine blead about every other month, its bright. The worst time was after I went out with the girls to the bar, did a lot of dancing and drank quite a bit...I thought I tore something some how. When I went to the hospital the next day(it scared me that bad) the doc prescribed something to help with the inflamation and bleeding,you could should look into that.

It is common for kids with food allergies to get this when they ingest the offending food - typically 1-4 days afterwards. I suppose it could happen in adults too?

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
