Hemorrhoids? (sorry)

I've been having a terrible time with constipation and hemorrhoids lately. They've also been bleeding. Dr. told me that wheat and dairy for me can cause this. I've had a ton of wheat the last two weeks. I know, I know. I've learned my lesson and I'm cleaning my diet today. How long can I expect to have this problem, how long should my body clear this out and can I help it in any way? I'm trying to drink lots of fluids and I have RA and my meds cause some dehydration anyway.

thanks, sorry for the subject matter :(

I had bad ones while I was eating a "regular" diet, because of the on and off constipation and diar. Within a week of getting gluten-free and drinking more water (that has really helped!) they have almost gone away. I was told that mine were caused by spending too much time on the potty (no kidding!). Since I don't have to do that as much, I think that might have been something to with it. But I would give it a week and take care to eat salads and other "bulk food" like broccoli, to help with the digestion, and maybe yours will go down in swelling too!!

Mine maybe took a few months to really disappear. Fiber like psyllium can also help with this. Also examine other foods you may eat besides gluten... ie. for me dairy exacerbates these symptoms.

Everyone should eat one large salad a day. Those bags they sell now are so convenient. You have no reason not to do this for yourself. Plus, the calcium in a large spinach salad is great because there's no protein to block the absorption. I add cut grapes, apples, sunflower seeds, and sweet stuff like that to my salads. I make a dressing that I really love:

1/2 cup oj

1/4 cup oil

1/3 cup red wine vinegar

some garlic salt

cracked pepper

1/4 cup honey

Yum.

Drink water throughout the day.

You do not have to be constipated. Good luck. Your "little problems" <_< will go away within a couple of weeks. If not, you should be seen by a dr.

      Blood results

      By trents · Posted

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.

      Blood results

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.
