Cervical Polyp

Okay, so I was having some "spotting", which I never have, so I went into the doc. Had a bleeding cervical polyp. They removed it and sent it to the lab, and it's fine. They also found another one in there, a baby one so they couldn't grab it.

Question -- my understanding is that polyps can be caused by a change in hormones. Could me quitting gluten a year ago have helped lead to the polyps? I understand they're common and nothing to worry about...I just wondered.

Also, it's been two days since they pulled it out and I still have the spotting. Anyone have guesses as to how long that might go on?

I had one of those about one year after being gluten-free. But, they didn't remove it because they found severe dysplasia and removed that instead. They figured that the polyp would go away on its own and was less important that the dysplasia.

Anyway, I like your theory on the polyp possibly being linked to the removal of gluten.

The cervix takes a long time to heal, so give your spotting some time.

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
