Poop Issues...help Please!

Well I woke up last week at 4 in the morning pooping just blood. I had have experienced allot of cramps in the past but the these were pretty intense. I had a constant urge to poop. I went to the doctor that day and she said I had hemroids wich would explain the bleeding and that I was getting the flu wich would explain the cramping and to expect to have direah for the next few days and sent me home. Thing is that I never got the flu (only flu symptom was the cramping wich didn't feel the same as when I get the flu). The bleeding contined over the next 24 hrs. It started to mix with allot of mucas eventually becoming just mucas unless I was pooping and then the poop was covered in blood. The other symptom I have been having over the past few months is that I feel nasuas and my tummy is a little achy after pooping. I never had any itching or anything. My gut keeps telling me she isn't right. The cramping with all this bleeding from what I can find has nothing to do with hemroids. So my question is....what else could be going on here....is this somthing I need to get checked out further? I have never herd of celiac causing bleeding.....could it be related to that? I can't switch drs due to insurance though.

If you blood is bright red, most likely it is from the hemmroids. If your blood is dark red than it is from further up, i.e. rectum or colon.

Cramping and mucous can both be from gluten. Did you eat anything different?

I also know that bright red blood can be from a fissure (a tear in the anus). My son has this problem as did I years ago. I know from experience that there can be a lot of blood from this which is very scary. There is also a lot of pain and pressure (like you have to poop). I don't think it would cause cramping and mucus though. Just a thought.

I hadn't eatin anything new or anything outside of our house (wich is totaly gluten-free). When I get glutened I always seem to have heart burn wich I did not experience with this. The doctor did look at me and I did not have a tear (I have had many tears in the past and this didn't seem anything like that)....she confirmed the bleeding was all from the inside. It was bright red with the first passing but then turned a bit. Problem I see is the amount of mucas and especially the cramping that happened with this....from what I can find cramping in my stomach area has nothing to do with hemroids.....that's what has got me concerned. The doctor passed this cramping off as the flu wich I am 100% postive I didn't have. I am concerened that there is another problem that needs to be taken care of. As many people on here I do not trust doctors at all. Does anyone know were these symptoms might fit? The only thing I found that fit was UC except I don't have constant direah so I don't think it is that.

      It sounds like your gastroenterologist is becoming increasingly confident that celiac disease is the likely diagnosis based on both your older and newer lab results. Her suggestion to call each Monday for possible cancellations is actually a great strategy—especially given how long the wait is until your August 29th appointment. It’s also a good sign that she’s advocating for you to be seen sooner, which shows she’s taking your case seriously. The fact that some labs might not have been drawn yet due to overlap with your functional health doctor’s upcoming testing adds a layer of confusion, but that’s unfortunately common when multiple providers are involved. Hopefully, the GI’s...

      Thanks for sharing that film, @trents.  I am not sure how I missed that film as I see it is a few years old, but it is very good.  I think you should be fine if you take your own packed lunch and eat it from your own lunchbox etc.  Might be worth doing a lunchtime recce to see how cramped the room is before making a decision - for all you know, there may be other people  there who don't eat gluten?

      The GI doc messaged me this afternoon that she believes that the new blood work added to the old is definitely  looking like a celiac diagnosis is in my future.  She wants to me to call into scheduling each Monday to see if I can get my August 29th appointment moved up due to cancellations.  I have never had a doctor recommend that.  She also said there were additional labs that she requested still out that have not come back yet; so, they may have been missed drawing those since the functional health doctor has a whole slew of labs that I am suppose to be waiting until August 27th to do. I am still waiting to hear on whether or not she will allow me to do pill prep versus the typical...

      Well, I've made if from the pre-diagnosis forum to here!  I've been diagnosed with "latent" or "potential" celiac and my doctor has suggested me to go gluten-free before my appointment with him in October (first available, LOL).  My ttg-iga was 152, my EMA was positive, I have the gene, but my biopsy was negative (and he took 12 samples), so it makes sense to go gluten free to see if I improve. I know the basics - I can find lists of things to avoid, I know about hidden dangers, etc. all of that.  Where I'm struggling is just STARTING.  I need to go shopping and stock up on some staples.  My goal is to not try to find gluten-free alternatives, but to focus on naturally gluten-free foods like...

      It’s great that you were finally able to see a gastroenterologist—and even luckier to get in the same day as your referral! It sounds like your GI is taking a very thorough approach, which is reassuring given your complex symptoms and history. The confusion around your different tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibody results is understandable. The variation between your December and June labs may be due to multiple factors, including differences in the lab performing the test (Quest vs. Mayo Clinic), the specific assay used, and the amount of gluten you had been consuming before each test. Antibody levels can drop significantly when gluten is reduced or eliminated from the...
