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.

      As Plumbago mentioned, bleeding in the upper end of the GI track tends not to show up as bright red in color because it gets acted upon by the digestion process and more thoroughly mixed in with food residues that are passing through the intestines.

      @Bronwyn W Working with your medical provider, you could do a complete blood count test. If you were bleeding say from an ulcer in the stomach (and let's hope not), your red blood cells could be low and your hemoglobin low as well. Your stools may show up as the proverbial "dark and tarry," indicative of a bleeding site further away from the anus. Basically, you may be anemic. Your heart may be beating extra fast as a way to compensate for the decreased number of blood cells, your oxygen saturation may be lower than normal on a pulse oximeter, and so on. But talk to your doctor.

      Thank you for this insight. I have had rectal bleeding after glutening and subsequent constipation (+ IBS-C) and always attributed it to internal hemorrhoids (diagnosed). What I wasn't aware of is the possibility of bleeding further up the digestive tract. Please can you elaborate on the causes and symptoms to watch for?

      Still unsure.....

      Be sure to be eating gluten daily until all of your celiac disease tests are completed (at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).

      4 Years and very little progress

      @maylynn, No, I took over the counter thiamine supplements, thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  My doctors were not very knowledgeable about nutrition and vitamins, and they missed my symptoms being connected to vitamin deficiencies.  I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.  My doctors just prescribed pharmaceuticals to cover the symptoms of poor health due to malabsorption of nutrients. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, physically active, emotionally stressed and work outside in hot weather.  Thiamine works in concert with the other B vitamins, so all should be supplemented together.  Vitamin D needs to be activated by thiamine.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.   Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because it is not bioavailable.  The body has difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.   Do keep us posted on your progress!
