I've been having loose bowel movements accompanied by blood and mucus. Most of the time it's only blood and mucus...no stools. I go to the bathroom, and as soon as I get out of there, I feel like i have to go again. I don't know what is wrong with me. I haven't been glutened or anything cause i've had this over 2 months now. I don't feel sick at all. I just have gas and very rare bloating.

Anyone ever hear of Dr. Dahlman's protocol? I've actually ordered everything to do the first months treatment. (Not cheap...cost me 200$). I really hope it starts working. If not, I guess I'll have to go see a doctor again. <_<

Wow, that sounds like ulcerative colitis to me. My sister has UC, after years of on-and-off prednisone treatment she's finally in remission with a drug called 6-MP.

I went to Dr. Dahlman's website and read a few pages. To be blunt I think he's a quack :wacko:. Sorry!

Celiac is the only autoimmune disease that can be cured/treated through diet. I have rheumatoid arthritis and for years I got caught up in the diet-cure scams. A waste of money and worst of all a waste of precious, precious time. If you have UC get it treated by a board certified gastroenterologist now, before the disease progresses to a point of no return. (ie: surgery - or worse)

:unsure: I apologize if I offended. I feel very strongly because of my own experiences. YMMV.

I actually decided to call my family doctor and get referred to a gastroentorologist at the Celiac center in Boston. Hopefully they'll find something...not too serious I hope. I'm scared they'll make me do the gluten challenge cause I wasn't really diagnosed with Celiac (no colonoscopy)...just gluten intolorence by blood test.

I'll let you know when I find out.

Dr. Fine says NSAIDS are terrible for colitis, are you taking any?

Sorry to take over your post but I have a question! Nancy, can you tell me what NSAIDS are? I have mild active colitis and chronic active colitis and this would help me sort it out and feel better. I was diagnosed with colitis and basically left in the dark because they were testing for Celiac all that time, which came out negative both in the blood tests and the biopsy. I have done much better on a gluten-free diet, however, so wondering if I still might have it or gluten intolerance. I was 16 when I was tested....

Thanks,

justjane

Same here...what are NSAIDS?

I am only taking the following supplements which are Dr.Dahlman's protocol:

Lactoviden, Bifoviden, Metagest, Intesol, Azeo-Pangen, and Ultrainflamx. I had to stop taking all this cause I have been waking up in the middle of the night with pain in what I think is the higher part of my large intestine or just to the right of my stomach. Not sure what it is. Thats why i decided to go to my doctor.

NSAIDS are things like asprin, motrin, advil, pepto-bismol, excedrin, and other antinflammatories.

If you look on the bottle, there's usually a warning about ulcers and abdominal bleeding

They always warn about ulcers but it can also affect the upper GI tract, like the small intestine. Yeah thing like Advil, Aleve, aspirin, ibuprofen. I guess Tylenol isn't an NSAID, but it has its own set of problems (liver damage).

I was told by a regular gastro Dr. i might have UC...but then i went to a holistic Dr. and he went over a list of symptons (such as pale floating stools, bloody stools, leg cramps, headaches, etc...) and low and behold i'm glutent intolerant. Once i eliminated the gluten (even though all blood tests were negative) i'm sooo much better. He said the colitis would get even better/completely go away over the course of six months...as long as i stay gluten free.

Dr. Fine got into the gluten sensitivity by way of researching UC and microscopic colitis. He said that basically microscopic colitis looks very similar like villious atrophy only in the large instestines. He thinks there is a big connection between gluten and colitis.

Having both Microscopic Colitis (Lymphocytic) and gluten sensitivity (and the gene for celiac) I agree 100% with Dr Fine's connection.

Hi Jess,

I got an appointment with Dr. Cheney. I've hear really good things about her. She must be really good, I can only see her in February. I hope it all works out good. My appointment is Valentine's day. I think we're gonna stay in Boston and have a nice dinner.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Matthias · Posted

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By trents · Posted

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
