Hemroids

Ok, I"m embarrassed to ask but I'm really stressing over this and maybe someone here can help...

What do bleeding hemroids act like? I have had blood in my stool about once a year for the last 5 years, it quit happening after I went gluten-free and the D stopped being as bad...didn't happen for 2 years and then has started again receintly. My regular dr. says it's probably hemroids, I know for sure I have one (she checked) and the blood is bright red, fairly often I can say that the bleeding happens after something like hard yardwork or working out. If I get glutened and have a bad week of D it has also set it off once or twice. I can't stop worrying about it, though...

For those of you who've been there and know what hemroids are like, do you mind telling me what happens? If they bleed, how often? I know it's not a fun thing to talk about (I'm blushing as I'm typing) but knowing more about what to expect...and hearing that other people have this and it's *not* something worse...would really help. I have an appointment with a GI next month and I think if a specialist also agrees it's just hemroids I will feel OK about it...I just get really scared when that particular part of me bleeds!

I had hemroids when I was prego, they went away. I also had them a year ago...when I went through a really bad spell...before I was diagnosed!

from what i understand you can have them "removed" if they are bothersome and what hemroid isn't!LOL

I have them. Diagnosed at 23! :(

Dairy is what makes them worse for me (due to the constipation).

Basically, it feels like the skin's been ripped, and there's maybe a touch of blood on the stool. More often, for me, it's just on the toilet paper. Sitting down... is a bit too much of a burn for me, right afterwards. Almost invariably, it will be due to a larger than normal or harder than normal stool.

(If you think it's embarassing to talk about... the exam... When I went in to my doctor about it, I noted that I was a bit embarassed by it, and she said "Don't worry, I do this all day long." I got an image in my head of her having to do digital rectal exams literally all day long - and felt a bit better about not being embarassed. :) )

My symptoms got worse after my last baby. I think, though, what is making it re-occur is that I usually have D....since going gluten-free it is much, much better and I suspect that's why the hemroids went away for a few years. I got glutened this weekend, which seems to have tipped it off again. I don't exactly get pain with this, but it does feel weird...sort of uncomfortable but not exactly painful. I wish that I could get my digestive system worked out totally...at least it's not as bad as it used to be, but I'd love to have a *normal* digestive system again!

I think "normal" is out of our realm. We can have near normal, but we'll always be more sensitive.

I have given up on being "normal"...what fun is that! :D Sometimes I get frustrated....every medical "thing" I've went through has been the exact opposite of textbook! From being indused for four days and then ending up with a c-section(I was almost 3 weeks over due) to having an alergic reaction to TB skin tests....but atleast with celiac we know how to get better!

Hopefully the hemmroid probs won't bother you anymore....their common, so atleast you're not alone.....and embarassing questions are ok....you wouldn't know you're not alone if you didn't ask!

Hi

I didnt have hemms until I had my daughter had the natural, the Ms do bother me from time to time especially if I have D. the only thing that i do is just wait it out, yes mine is bright as well it does freak me out and my husband which has them as well but his are from Football and are pretty bad, Hes just too scared to get them removed because he doesnt do needles.

My partner got them a few years ago after having a bit of a midlife crisis then drinking himself into virtual death (was hospitalized, etc....but is alright). After that, he had them.

His are helped by: reduced stress (obviously), using cottonelle moist wipes instead of t.p. (this makes a HUGE difference for him), taking fiber supplementation (right now it's flax seed in o.j.), and cutting back on coffee.

Hope that helps. Good luck. I think I got the start of one once, or a mini one, and it's no fun at all.

Oh yeah, he also drank 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper in room temp glass of water for eight days. I think if you look up home remedies or something, you might find some good ieas.

He's not had his removed, and keeps them under control in these ways.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      I struggled for a long time.   My TTG levels took an age to come down.  I even gave pure gluten free oats a miss, it took 8 years before I could tolerate them.  Removing dairy temporarily from my diet was hugely helpful.  Check your utensils and the oven you use are scrupulously clean, and don't open roast or bake food uncovered in an oven shared with gluten eaters.  Shared grills must be thoroughly cleaned down, too. Our oven packed up a couple of years after I was diagnosed and after that time the top oven became my family's oven, I use the lower oven.  Also our dishwasher - the old one left a residue, and sharing with gluten eaters I think this was an important factor in my slow recovery.  When the dishwasher packed up I started hand washing the plates and making sure they were really rinsed well.  When we got a new one we bought a Miele does the initial rinse with clean water, not yesterday's old water.   I stopped eating out for a while - that's a biggie.  In recent years, in the UK, thanks to Zoe's Law, caterers are having to really tighten up on catering for people with coeliac disease and allergies so I am now finding eating out much less risky.  But I'd advise being very careful with restaurants where flour is thrown about and is airborne (such as pizzerias) or where harried chefs might cook pasta in glutenous water by mistake, as those are the places I've been glutened in the most.

      thank you, ive asked my dr to test for vitamin deficiency and shes only said vitamin d (very low 26) and b12, she says all other vitamins are not included in her blood tests only the major ones, C, D, E, B12 etc. Ive been following the aip diet now and im going to stay on it very strict to see how it goes. im eating tons of food, romaine salads, mango, peaches, pears, cucumber, celery, zuccnini, sweet potator, plantains, ground turkey and beef and chicken.  i eat about 4 plate filling meals a day with two to three good size snacks a day including about 3 or 4 bananas. im still not absorbing nutrients, if i eat any sort of food with fat, I.e ground beef or fatty pork the taste of fat lingers in my mouth for 2-3 hours sometimes longer, if i bask in sun for vitamin d i feel great but then lethargic and feel strange for a day or two later, like im still absorbing it all in. even regular sweet foods like fruit the sweetness stays in mouth for hours. ive had blood work done for gall bladder, thryroid, pancreas, liver, kindey dr says they are all fine. i dont know what other tests i can do?   ive attached two pictures of the rash that broke out on my legs, feet and small one near wrist bone bright red was before treatment, second scabby one is during treatment and healing.  https://freeimage.host/i/FrI3KZb https://freeimage.host/i/FrI3Fwu

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By StuartJ · Posted

      Just ate some for lunch!  A really superb alternative to gluten-free bread and burger buns that all have the taste and consistency of compacted sawdust.  I bought two packs and now I'm down to one remaining muffin so need to get some more; the only thing is it's their own brand - they don't do mail or on line ordering and the nearest TJ's is in Charlottesville (a real nightmare to drive around) an hour away from me over the mountain.  😒
