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.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
