Bloody Stool,Mucus, and Constipation

Well after having on and off bloody stools and, and mucus issues for a few years now, doctors finally diagnosed the cause. Sometimes it would just be a few drops, others it would be globs of mucus and blood, Been trying to get it figured out for awhile and I lost my previous post on it. Sum it up I been having issues with getting the colonoscopy done, partial due to insurance at first then issues with getting my system to cleanse right.

Anyway doctor came back and said I have ulcerative colititis and said that this is one of the causes for my anemia and constipation issues. He said my issues are made worse by the combination of celiac on top of it. But also mentioned that people with celiac are more prone to get this. -_- Seems the diet is mostly the same to keep it in check, No gluten, No Dairy, No Fructose Drink plenty of fluids and be careful with foods that might cause blockages. So sorta explains my issues with tough foods, and having to blend or cook stuff to be super tender and moist. And why I kept having issues with blockages and having to massage my gut to get stuff to move sometimes. Just thought this might be informative to someone else trying to figure this out, drove me nuts and scared me for years. Seems I also now seem to have figured out why I do not tolerate fruits in large amounts especially grapes/apples/melons or sugars. as the fructose seems to be one of those things that causes a flare up.

If anyone else has this issue and can give some pointers or share their experience with ulcerative colitis please do. Still not 100% sure on the details myself.

I am sorry to hear about your new diagnosis Ennis.  I've had mucus and blood before but for me it was related to dairy.  As long as I stay away from dairy, no problem.  Or not any like that anyway.

I know they have some drugs treatment for UC but am not sure what they are called.  Hopefully they have something that will help a lot. :)

It can't be any fun getting another condition diagnosed Ennis, but I hope that you can get some comfort from having an explanation for all your symptoms. 

I'm sure you're well read on how to deal with this but here's Open Original Shared Linkon living with UC just in case it's of interest.

Remember to look on the bright side also, this will not affect your chances of becoming pregnant :P

I am sorry to hear about your UC diagnosis, but at least you know what it is.  Now you can move forward and treat it (sounds like what you have been doing has helped immensely).  Hugs!

Thanks for the support, seems it is mostly kept in check by the same diet I have been doing for years, I just now know why the fruits bug me, and have the peace of mind as to why I had those issues with the blood.  SO I guess now I just need to keep off those higher fructose fruits, adding a vitamin C supplement in, and going on about my life.

I know there are meds for it.  You might try some.  I know people that have had great response to temporary medication and then a careful diet.  But they aren't as careful as you are - so maybe you could get a few foods back if you healed?

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.

Some items from the regular menu can be made gluten free also. They have a lunch menu which we ordered from & my chicken with spinach & mozzarella over gluten-free penne was delicious...

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia and @Russ H thank you both for your helpful advice and information. I haven't seen a GI in years. They never helped me aside from my inital diagnosis. All other help has come from my own research, which is why I came here. I will be even more careful in the future.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, you are welcome. After looking at this thread again, I would like to suggest that some of the other comments from @Russ H are worth following up on. The bird-bread may or may not be contributing to what you are experiencing, but it seems unlikely to be the whole story. If you have access to decent healthcare, I would write down...

The bird-bread may or may not be contributing to what you are experiencing, but it seems unlikely to be the whole story. If you have access to decent healthcare, I would write down your experiences and questions in outline form and bring this to your Dr. I suggest writing it down so you don't get distracted from telling the Dr everything you want to say while you have their attention.
