Anyone Out There With Burning Diarrhea?

I've been noticing this for a while...a long while, but finally nerved myself up to ask...is any one having or had burning lower bowel/diarrhea unconnected with hot foods or additives?  Think Chile Peppers, not that I indulge, but I've heard!!!!

Hi Questor,

 

Because the Colon/Anus is so inflamed when having diarrhea, the area is extremely sensitive and yes it can feel like burning.  This is the case whether Celiac or not.

My entire GI tract burned from mouth to rectum when I was very ill for 3 years before diagnosis, but other people without celiac

can have this issue too (crohn's, IBD, UC, microscopis colitis, colitis, food poisoning, chronic hemorhoids, for example).

wellllll.......that's just one of the many fun symptoms I can expect in the ensuing days.)

I haven't figured out what I might be eating that does this occasionally - I think it's just when I don't eat in my " usual" fashion. One thing that helps the pain is - wash well after some leakage. Then put diaper cream or vasoline on the ouchy area. A little gooey on the underwear - but it washes out.

For an irritated exit point, I really like the Preparation H wipes.  Much easier than the ointment.  Just fan your fanny dry after you use them, lol.

The point of ointment/ goo is it gives you a good barrier. So a little leakage doesn't touch the skin.

Inflammation of the rectum and/or anus can cause a burning sensation... I can neither confirm or deny that I know this from personal experience. You might want to see a doctor if it continues to rule out Crohn's/colitis. The microscopic kind is apparently quite common in celiacs. Who knew.

 

Barring that, there is a certain kind of bacterial infection that can put out toxic products that burn. I read about a case in a book but can't recall the name of it.

That's how I used to describe my BMs before and soon after the gluten-free diet... as shooting "SHOOTING" molten lava... ha ha ha.

One other possibility.  The gall bladder releases bile which neutralizes the acidic stuff (hydracloric acid) coming out of the stomach.  So it seems it could be possible that if the gall bladder is not releasing enough bile to neutralize the chyme it could cause a burning sensation.  In the case of spectacularly fast transit times  there may not be enough time for the bile to neutralize the chyme.  I suppose reduced bile production or poor release could be a culprit too.

Thank you all!  I love having a good laugh over anything.

 

It seems to burn pretty far up, rather than at an "exit" point...but before they told me I had IBS, they told me I had Colitus, so I am not really surprised...!

 

When I think back over the years and all the problems, and diagnoses I've gotten, I get so mad that someone didn't just think to check, but just as I have a low opinion of Lawyers, I have the same feeling towards the medical profession!  Not that they both cannot do good for people, but that they so often don't!

      Alcohol

      By Suze046 · Posted

      Hey! I’m recently gluten free and yes I really struggle with alcohol now. I haven’t really drank in 2 months as it just made me feel awful the next day in terms of stomach ache mainly. I’ve had a couple of glasses of white wine here and there (mainly low sulphate) but every time it gives me a gut ache. I think it’s because but guy is so damaged from my journey to discovering my gluten intolerance and hopefully this will improve but honestly I’m just not bothered about having a drink now. I can’t even touch Prosecco or champagne I think the bubbles really upset me!

      I just wanted to share my support for you. Rant away. We all know that, and have experiences like that at some point. I am sorry for that very unpleasant, and emotionally isolating reminder of your medical condition. Which always is exacerbated by the hunger. I will admit many of my family friends, and coworkers found it easier to exclude me than to accommodate me. I also have to be very strict with cross contamination so in hindsight they did me a favor.  The sting however can often still be unearthed when I read experiences like yours.  I am sorry you had that occur. I hope you, and the coworkers can find the easy more accommodating experiences again after this unfortunate incident. Best wishes.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Awol cast iron stomach · Posted

      "...hemorrhoids, constipation and diarrhea" . Heard of indeed. Experienced too. In hindsight, I can remember from age 2 having, and trying to convey my issues. I went 38 years misdiagnosed. So yes one can have these issues. I did have to go back on gluten for a gluten challenge. I failed that challenge and 6 days in they give me permission to stop, and I proceed with my scopes as scheduled. Post those 6 days I had gained 13 intolerances. I had to remove many foods, and reintroduce them back in. Nine years later I have two that remain gluten, and corn. I found it helpful to follow a whole foods diet. I also found autoimmune (AIP) protocol diet/recipes, and Paleo diet/recipes helpful. I still enjoy many of those homemade version recipes. I still continue to make my own salad dressings even if I can find a gluten-free store bought version. Fresh taste best to this palate now.  I did give up many grains I was off many and reverted to coconut flour and almond flour as work arounds .  I still remember the first time my gut experienced the reintroduction of quinoa. It wasn't sure if it wanted to flare or not. In 30 minutes it reported back ok this will pass. Many foods were removed post gluten challenge for me for 2 years and 4 months. At the 2 year 4 month mark is when my body said ok let's eat again, but don't ever feed me gluten again! I wish you the best.

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.
