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.

      Hey Julie! I was in a similar situation before my biopsy and my gastro said Tylenol was fine. Just avoid ibuprofen or anything anti-inflammatory until you're cleared. Hope your surgery goes smoothly!

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.
