Celiac Disease And Bleeding Disorders

Hello:

My 17-year-old son and I both have celiac disease. He had four wisdom teeth extracted 12 days ago. We've been back to the oral surgeon twice with complications. His wounds won't stop bleeding and aren't healing correctly. This happened several years ago when he had teeth extracted before orthodontia.

Is anyone aware of a connection between bleeding/clotting disorders and celiac disease?

Thanks.

I don't know of any "medical" disorders, but I know any time I have ever had any surgery/procedures done,I have encountered the same reaction.

A lot of Celiacs are deficient in vit K, which is essential for blood clotting. Could be why he's still bleeding.

I agree. before I was diagnosed, I would get bruises all over, for no reason at all. It turned out that my body was not absorbing Vitamin K. My Platelet level was off the charts at 909 (Normal range is 140-415).

Has your son had any blood work done recently to check for platelet levels or other clotting factors? That would seem to be the place to start. You should ask your doctor to order a CBC and other tests that check for the various clotting factors.

I have Celiac and ITP (Idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura). The ITP is when one does not have enough platelets - it's autoimmune. I'm no longer on any medication and I'm just fine. But you should have your son checked - a CBC will do the trick (Complete Blood Count).

What numbers specifically do you look for on the CBC. I am about to have a PICC line put in and they are going to run tests to find out if my blood will clot normally. I had labs done not too long ago and they may have already taken it...what do you look for?

When they test mine before getting a thyroid biopsy done, it's usually a separate test in addition to the CBC. They test PT, PTT and platelets. If they want to look more in-depth, there are other additional tests they can run.

There are a few of us on here with ITP mentioned earlier. Get a CBC. His platelets should be above 150,000.

My husband (a coeliac) has had problems with easy bleeding and low platelets.

At the moment his haemotolgist is happy with his levels (although not as good as the average person, they are not dangerous) - he's not been dx with ITP though.

I'm not sure any of the docs know exactly why this has been occuring for my hubby :blink:

I have the opposite problem - high platelet count. I am due for a check up soon, my hematologist initially thought celiac was causing high platelets, but my Ttg #'s are negative, so he's not sure why I would have high platelets (which can be caused by inflammation).

OK. I dug out a CBC my son had last summer. Mean Platelet Volume (8.3) and Platelet Count (250) were both within the normal range. Does this mean we can assume it is a vitamin K deficiency? I've stocked up on green leafy vegetables. We'll see if that helps.

Before I was diagnosed with Celiac I had problems with bleeding/bruising from scurvy - vit C deficiency. It often leads to problems with bleeding gums and bruising. Believe it or not my doc decided to test me for celiac because of the scurvy. Smart doc!

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
