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.

      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.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
