Hemmorhoids

I got tested for celiac disease 6 months ago and my test was negative, however, I hadn't eaten gluten for months when I had the test. Whenever I do have gluten or potatoes, I get really bad hemmorhoids. I generally have a very loose stool sometimes with blood in it, but none of the other celiac disease symptoms. The doctors I've seen have no idea what's wrong. Is it possible to have an allergy to gluten, without having celiac disease? I'm baffled and frustrated.

Hi--welcome! :) The test you had for Celiac 6 months ago were negative because you had been off gluten for so long. That really dosen't tell you anything. Do you feel better off gluten? I'm assuming you do, and that's why you were not consuming it. The positive response to the gluten-free diet is in and of itself proof of gluten intolerance. It is certainly possible to have an allergy to wheat *and* have Celiac. It is also possible to have one *or* the other. Celiac is not an allergy--it's an autoimmune disorder. To check to see if you have an allergy to wheat, or the other gluten grains, you would need to see an Allergist.

hemmies are a sign - for me - that I've gotten dairy. if the stool itself has blood *in* it, not on, you should be referred to GI's or other docs until they figure out what's going on.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
