My doctors are all at a loss for ideas. I was diagnosed celiac disease 5 years ago and have been feeling great other than one symptom which is getting worse. Does anyone else have leakage of a clear, oderless fluid from their rectum that burns and blisters your bottom? Mine is a slow, constant leak and lately has turned to large gushes which last 24 hours. They have done every test imaginable and can't figure it out so I'm hoping someone has heard of this.

I haven't had that. Is it mucousy or anything like that? I've heard of people passing mucous as part of their celiac symptoms. Have they tried to determine what it's made of by doing some type of testing on it?

Yes, I have had that problem. It can really get bad. It's like a chemical burn and there have been times when the tissues have bled.

One thing that would pass through and burn badly on the way out was any kind of acidopholis type probiotic. I was really puzzled about it and absolutely could NOT take the stuff. Digestive enzymes did the same thing to me, and some other supplements, but I never I never really knew the offending substance was..... until now.

It was corn. Now that I know how to look for corn derivatives, especially in medications and supplements, and I've eliminated it in my diet, I'm no longer troubled by the burning. Now, of course, it may not be corn for you, but possibly some other allergen you are consuming.

I have subsequently found both a probiotic and enzymes that contain no dairy/casein, gluten, soy, corn, egg - and am now taking them with no problems at all.

I've had that problem for six whole months, all day and all night last year. It would happen within minutes of every meal. First that, and then more 'regular' diarrhea. I was so sore, and would actually bleed badly into the toilette at times, because it would burn my hemorrhoids. I'd have to put lotion on my toilet paper to wipe, otherwise it would hurt too much.

The only times I get that problem now is, when I eat something I am intolerant to. Like rice especially, possibly corn and dairy as well (and when I get glutened, but rice is worse than gluten). I have so many intolerances that I can't always pin down exactly what caused a reaction, and where it came from (I'm not always careful enough I guess).

I just remembered that an ingredient in supplements that gave me problems with burning was calcium stearate (magnesium stearate is okay for me). I'd buy supplements only to have to throw them away after taking for a while because of this until I figured out what the offending ingredient was.

      @Scott Adams Thank you so much for this thoughtful and encouraging reply 💛 It really helps me feel less alone navigating all of this! I’ve definitely been strict gluten-free, but I’ll admit — in the beginning, I honestly knew nothing about cross-contamination 😅 so it’s very possible my gut is still healing from that. I feel very abnormal because I am not a typical celiac or a typical Crohn's, so it makes me feel very stuck.

      Hi still the same unfortunately, they had to cancel my colonoscopy due to my trapped nerve , I'm awaiting some kind of scan , it was the nurses who  told me to refuse and asked a docter , and I was told to cancel and go back to my consultant , I think because my sciatic nerve is compressed between my herniated discs , the prep was enough I could handle , but the colonoscopy itself , they advised me to seek something different ,due to the position I had to be in and the movements , so I will update Wen I know more , thankyou for asking appreciated 🤗

      It sounds like you're navigating a complex situation with your celiac disease, and it’s understandable to feel confused by the GI world! While celiac disease typically affects the duodenum and proximal small intestine, it’s possible for inflammation to extend to the ileum, especially in cases of more severe or longstanding damage. Since your tTG-IgA remains elevated despite a strict gluten-free diet, this could indicate ongoing healing or subtle gluten exposure. The ileal inflammation might still be related to celiac, though it’s good your doctor is ruling out other conditions like Crohn’s, given the nonspecific biopsy findings. Some people with celiac do report ileal involvement, particularly if...
