Rectal pain and gluten free diet


Karilb

Recommended Posts

I started eating gluten free bread 2 months ago and have developed rectal pain. No blood or hemroids present. Does this sound like a normal side effect?

Going gluten free (no wheat, barley or rye) should not cause rectal pain.  Do you have celiac disease. Celiacs can develop other concurrent illnesses.  You should consider seeing a doctor.

Ditto. Get this checked out by medical professionals as soon as you can. If by some chance the pain is being caused by colorectal cancer you want to get it addressed pronto. It would be a good idea for you to get a GUAIAC done. There may not be enough blood for you to see but a small amount could be present.

Hemorrhoids can be higher up, more internal and out of sight.

There is also something called proctalgia fugax which you should research. I have suffered from it in the past.

So have you been diagnosed with celiac disease or are you just doing testing the waters by going gluten free?

      Thank you for the advice. I’ve actually never checked for nutritional deficiencies, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve always taken vitamin and mineral supplements — otherwise my symptoms get worse. This week I stopped eating gluten to confirm whether my symptoms are really caused by it. Starting next week, I’ll reintroduce gluten — it’s sad to go back to how I was before — but at least I’ll be able to take the necessary tests properly. I think the diagnostic process will be long, but at least I’m happy that I finally decided to address this doubt I’ve had for years.

      Hey Julie! I was in a similar situation before my biopsy and my gastro said Tylenol was fine. Just avoid ibuprofen or anything anti-inflammatory until you're cleared. Hope your surgery goes smoothly!

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!
