I was diagnossed as at age of 15, im 29 now, truley gluten free 10 years, besides cross contamination. Ive recently have had rectal bleeding after stool. I simply dont have any more money to spend on doctors at this time. I want to know if anyone has problems passing stool and experiances rectal bleeding. I really hope its just a hemroid, but its been 3 months now with red blood on my toilet paper after wiping. ANY advice would be great!

There are just some things that you need to see a doctor for, and rectal bleeding is one of them. I understand money is an issue, but I implore you to use any and all resources available to you in your area, beg, borrow, steal, whatever it takes to get that looked at.  This is definitely an issue other than Celiac disease.  It sounds like you may have either bad hemorrhoids or an anal fissure, but the only way to tell is to have a doctor look at it because there are other more serious things that can cause you to have blood when you pass stool.  If you can definitely tell that it is coming from the immediate area and not elsewhere, especially if there is a painful spot somewhere on the exit point, then that points to a fissure, and a doctor would be able to tell immediately upon a glance if that were the case.  You can do an internet search on that for more info.

 

But seriously, you can even go to the ER and they can't turn you away, and get a medical exam.  You want to rule out anything serious before it gets more serious.  Even a simple hemorrhoid issue or anal fissure can develop into a serious problem needing surgery if not treated correctly.

Hi gfplumber, Welcome.

 

Laura has given you the advice you need for your issue.  Hospitals all have financial aid available there are free clinics that cover most areas.  I would also urge you to seek medical attention.  Anal fissures usually get infected because of there location.  And Hemorrhoids usually get worse and worse and can really effect your quality of life. 

 

Good luck to you.

I agree with getting it checked out. I have been checked out and they didn't find anything except hemorrhoids. The doctor didn't give me any suggestions but eat more fiber which doesn't work for me. My suggestion while waiting for an appointment is make sure your stools are soft. I accomplish this with using Miralax. The best thing I have discovered is using witch hazel pads after a bowel movement. I have not had any bleeding in over 2 months. Hope it works for you.

I would get it checked out.

 

My husband had these symptoms and went in for a colonoscopy.  A large polyp was found and removed.  He has been going in once a year and having a polyp removed for 3 years now.  *These symptoms are NOT typical for a polyp.  It is most likely a hemorrhoid.  The really lucky thing was, he went in for these symptoms and was able to stay cancer free by having the polyp removed ~ well before the age 50 suggested time for colonoscopy.

 

Your body is telling you something is wrong, so get it checked out.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
