Bad Bruising After gluten-free

I have never bruised easily, but now I look as if I get beaten regularly. I am dreading summer b/c I am not going to want to wear shorts. Usually the bruises are on my legs. At night if I don't put a pillow between my knees they will bruise. My husband a couple of months ago squeezed my thigh and I had a perfect handprint on it the next day and it didn't hurt at all when he did it. Yesterday I was moving my treadmill and it momentarily landed on my foot. It hurt a little, but today it looks so bruised it looks like something is broken. This has me stumped b/c it didn't happen until I went gluten-free and my D has all but completely stopped and I had malabsorption before, but not now. I am taking a lot of vitamins, etc. What gives and should I be concerned? Or just wear long pants this summer? :P

Bruising is a sign that your not getting enough vit. C. Try increasing you intake. I bet your gums bleed when you brush your teeth. Another good one is CoQ 10. That really helped me with the gum bleeding. It helps increase the intregrety of the vessel walls. But the C is the biggest issue.

Vit K deficiency also results in bruising. Have you been on any antibiotics? That can cause a problem with vit. K loss. I think foods high in K are cabbage and broccoli, and canola oil. What else comes to mind is maybe being on aspirin therapy? That can cause your blood to get too thin.

I used to bruise easily when I was anemic. My arms, especially, always looked terrible. I could get a bruise by just resting my arm on the wooden kitchen table. Even iron suppliments didn't help--the only thing that got rid of the bruising was when the anemia finally cleared up with the gluten-free diet. Have you been tested for anemia?

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
