Are Frequent Bloody Noses A Symptom?

My 10 year old and 22 month old both get bloody noses all the time. They both have bad allergies, but since my 22 month old just tested positive for celiac, I was just curious... Is this a symptom of celiac or gluten intolerance? Our 7 year old does not get them and she has bad allergies as well.

before my dx I used to get bloody noses all the time... since going gluten-free I haven't had one, so I would guess there is a connection.

I used to get horrible bloody noses as a child. I would just bump my nose and it would spurt. I would wake up in the middle of the night sometimes with a blood-soaked pillow. I wonder if there is a connection? I don't know-maybe not absorbing enough vitamins like K? I hope you find some answers and your little ones get better soon.

btw-my mom used to keep a rubber glove filled with ice in the fridge to use to put around my nose. Looked funny and cheered me up too while it helped the clotting.

I'm so tired of all the laundry! Blood soaked pillows, sheets, and jammies! Ok, and I'm worried about them, too of course! :) That's interesting about the vitamin K...I bet you're right! Thanks so much for your story and the rubber glove thing...I'll have to try that.

I would get bloody noses as well. It doesn't happen anymore. The most inconvenient one was when my flight was about to take off. I was in the window seat and the plane was starting to go down the runway. The flight attendants couldn't come to me to give me a napkin and I couldn't get up. Glad it doesn't happen anymore.

I'm sure that was fun! :rolleyes:

Oh my gosh!!! I didn't ever think of a connection! My mom took me to the doc and asked about my constant bloody noses. They decided that I picked my nose, but I didn't! "Oh, she does it when no one is looking!" I even have gotten them as an adult, but not as frequently as when I was a child.

Do you have bad allergies, too? I'm wondering how much of it could be allergy related or as someone else mentioned...malabsorption problems with vitamin K, perhaps from celiac????

It's funny (ok,maybe not to you B) ), about the nose-picking thing. Every time our 10 year old gets a nosebleed, we immediately check his "picking" finger to see if there's blood on it and sometimes he's very quick to show me his finger without me even asking. It's probably half and half with him, but i feel bad because even the times he is picking, I don't think it 's just a bad habit, I think there's something in his nose that's really bugging him. He hasn't been tested for celiac, but will be since his brother just tested positive, but he shows so many of the signs....but then again after learning more and more about celiac, I think almost everyone I know has it. :rolleyes:

I had bad allergies. They are completely gone now that I'm gluten-free.

When I was sixteen I was getting nosebleeds about twice a day. Didn't have bad allergies and wasn't picking. There was some type of sore that wouldn't heal. I ended up getting it cauterized (yikes).

It is common to get sores in the mouth from celiac disease vitamin def. so I don't see why it wouldn't be a connection.

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics. I have had Celiac for 40 years. Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything. I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
