I went to the doctor today for strep (fun, fun, fun <_< ) and I had them check my iron levels since I seem to be bruising so easily. However they said they were fine, actually better then usual. The strange thing was the night before I nicked myself and blead profusely. I'm not really sure what's up and if anyone had any suggestions, they would very appreciated. m=^^=m

Bruising can be caused by other vitamin deficiencies like C. Do you take a multivitamin? If not, you might try one and see if the bruising gets better.

Vitamin K deficiency can cause both bruising and excessive blood loss. Vitamin K is needed to make your blood "clot".

Vitamin C has been shown to "thin" the blood, so dont go overboard on that one.

Check blood clotting factors?

Yeah, this sounds like a clotting issue, and vitamin K IS the requirement for that....have you had that checked?

And - when they checked your blood levels, did they check ferritin (stored iron)? I had a huge bruise for nearly an entire year before I was diagnosed with celiac.....my ferritin level was less than 3 (normal is about 75 to 150 for a woman my size/age).

Might better start with basic blood tests like platelet count. Has that been checked?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
