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.

Sexy talk, isn't it? Lol

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!

yes. very.  :lol:

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      What is the best liquid multivitamin for celiac disease?
    • Jmartes71
      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
