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!

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.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Issues before diagnosis

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
