Strange Symptom

Hi there. I haven't been on for a very long time, but I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. My 14 year old son was diagnosed a year and a half ago. My other two kids are going through the testing, and will both be scoped in March. Here's the scoop: my son has complained of a sore, itchy bum (anus) since I can remember; probably starting when he was about 3 or 4. I had, of course, mentioned it to doctors on many occasions as it would make him very wiggly at times. None of the doctors noticed anything out of the ordinary. Anyhow, after being gluten free, the problem went away, and if he is glutened (he is very nearly asymptomatic), that is the one thing he notices right away. Is that bizarre? Now, my three year old (she was off gluten for a year, then back on it for the scope in March), within a month or two of being back on gluten, is complaining of a sore bum too. Everything looks normal, not red or irritated, but she cries sometimes and says her bum is "hot" or cries that "it hurts" when I wipe her after a bm. Any time I have searched (with a variety of key words and celiac) on the net, I get absolutely nothing back that relates. Soooo, does anyone know if this is a common, or perhaps not so common symptom???

Could it be related to constipation or larger, hard stool (which is a symptom of celiac)? It could be that the stool is irritating them. As for a itchy bum, I haven't heard of that symptom, but I would not be at all surprised if it goes away when gluten-free. It seems like nearly everything can be a celiac symptom.

Could it be hemorroids from constapation?

I have wondered that too. I know hemroids can itch, but I don't have them. The itching did go away when I went gluten free. If I have been glutened by accident sometimes it feels like everything coming out of me itches. I wonder if it could be DH up there maybe?

My daughter gets D when she is glutened, and nearly always gets a hemerhoid (SP). She then stands there wiggling all day till the gluten is out of her body. A bath does help soothe her, but not enough. So, what i am saying is that Hemerhoids don't only come from constipation, but also from D

      Hello, @Dora77, I agree with you that your doctors aren't very knowledgeable about Celiac Disease.  My doctors didn't recognize nutritional deficiencies either.  I became very deficient in vitamins before I was diagnosed, so having experienced similar, I understand what a difficult time you're having.   Poor absorption of essential nutrients is caused by the damage done to the intestines by Celiac Disease.  The gluten free diet can be low in essential nutrients, so supplementing to boost your absorption is beneficial.  New symptoms can develop or worsen as one becomes more and more deficient.   There's eight essential B vitamins that our bodies cannot make, so they must come from our...

      My chest pain has been caused by costochondritis, as well as times when iron supplements has given me such bad bloating it has put pressure on my back and chest, and reflux can do the same. Also, along the lines of Wheatwacked's suggestion above, is it possible you had an injury to your chest/ribs way back that is being set off by either some sort of gastrointestinal bloating/discomfort? I distinctly remember really hurting a rib over forty years ago when I misjudged a wall and thought it was just behind me but in fact it wasn't.  I fell badly against the wall and I think I cracked a rib then.  For some strange reason I didn't tell anyone but I think had I gone to hospital an X-ray...

      Sorry for the long post. I’m 18, and I was diagnosed with celiac disease and type 1 diabetes (T1D). My transglutaminase IgA was >128 U/mL, EMA IgA positive twice, and I’m HLA-DQ2 and DQ8 positive. I’ve been completely asymptomatic since diagnosis, even when I cheated with gluten sometimes in the past and used to eat out(2-5 years ago) I don’t get the typical celiac reactions, which makes it really hard to know when (or if) I’ve been glutened. But for the past year, I’ve been the most strict with my diet, and that’s also when a bunch of new issues started. I eat completely glutenfree, never eat out, dont eat food that says „may contain gluten“.   Current Health...

      I've been making a lot of black bean brownies lately because it's one of the few gluten free dessert recipes that actually tastes palatable.  I've also seen chocolate cake recipes with black beans.  Someone mentioned a cookie recipe using lentils in place of flour.  Just wondering if anyone's run across any tried and true recipes using beans, lentils or peas for desserts?  I've seen a lot of recipes for garbanzo flour but I'm allergic to garbanzo beans/chickpeas.  Was wondering if adzuki or pinto beans might be useful in replacing some or all of the flour in baking.  Since gluten free flours can be crumbly was hoping the beans might help produce a better, less crumbly consistency.  Any...
