Swollen and burning bum

[Basslover]

Hi guys, maybe a bit of a weird one but a few months ago I started getting very painful burning inside my backside, the burning would be so much worse going to the toilet and afterwards. I’ve been to the doctors and all clear for Tears and Hemorrhoids, but still I get this bad burning, when I pass wind it can even burn. I’ve notice an increase in stomach bloating and pain, spread all over my abdominal area. The burning going to the toilet can sometimes be so bad I feel like passing out. It can also feel like my bum is falling out when standing, I’m assuming this is from it being swollen. 

Im wondering if it’s a gluten issue, has anyone had this symptom or heard of similar? The doctors I’ve been to don’t seem to be taking it serious as there is no physical issue. I’m planning to limit (try to eliminate) gluten starting tonight to see if it helps but just wanted to see if it’s happened to others? 

 

TIA

Hi Brandon,

Have you been tested for celiac disease yet?  If not, you should wait on changing your diet until testing is completed.  The celiac testing won't work accurately if you are off gluten.  It is better to get the blood tests done right now, and then the endoscopy if the blood antibodies are positive.

If you go off gluten before testing it will throw the test results off and possibly give you a false negative.

Get checked for anal fissure. You need to take additional fiber supplement when on a celiac diet. Try benefiber to go. In a bottle of water. Up to 3 times a day.
