Bloody Noses?

I have yet to be diagnosed with Celiacs but I'm not really worried so much about that than learning to deal with the symptoms. I simply can't afford anymore to pay for a doctors best guess or indifference. I've been to many and I'm done trying to deal with it. I've taken a bunch of blood tests that tell them and me nothing new (I just wanted to get that part out of the way).

I had been gluten free for three weeks BUT I did a foolish thing last Wednesday. A friend had a birthday party and I had piece of cake. I don't even like cake but I had it anyway (I guess it was part of that "I'm depriving myself" feeling). OMG! The next day the pain, the gas, the diarrhea, the headache and nausea came on with a vengeance. I was sick for three days. I had to leave work twice because I just didn't feel good.

I now feel better since it seems the worst of the gluten attack is over. But I've noticed that I have a bloody-ish nose. I blow it and it is bloody though not bleeding. I've had this problem on and off in my adult life. When I was kid I used to get bloody noses all the time but when I was 17 it stopped. Now I just get the bloody snot. <_< So I got to wondering if this is also a part of my gluten problem, is it common? I also have congestion with the bloody snot (yuck). I hadn't had the bloody snot for a couple weeks which so it does seem it got better without gluten in my life.

Anyone else have this problem?

Yes! I definitely have the same problem when I've been glutened. Usually the first symptoms are a MAJOR migraine, slightly bloody nose, and vertigo. The "D" follows later.

Bloody noses are one of the things that my son had all the time before he got diagnosed. Now he only gets them when glutened.

Thank you for your replies.

Thank God for this site! I don't feel quite so much like hypochondriac. :D

The last year and a half has been a nightmare of symptoms that just kept piling up. I was running out of "specialists" to go to and my family doctor only wanted to treat the symptoms with pills (which didn't work).

Thanks for pointing this out. I just noticed that my daughter hasn't had many nose bleeds in the past year that she has been gluten free. She used to get them all the time.

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

      Thank you for the kind words!

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes...

Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating gluten daily for weeks beforehand. Many have already gone gluten-free during their pre-screening period, thus their test results end up false negative, leaving them confused and sometimes untreated. It is sad that so few doctors attended your workshops, but it doesn't surprise me. It seems like the protocols for any type of screening should just pop up on their computer screens whenever any type of medical test is ordered, not just for celiac disease--such basic technological solutions could actually educate those in the medical community over time.

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 seem to be more sensitive to minor amounts of gluten exposure than those with just one of those genes and those with only DQ2 seem to be more sensitive than those with only DQ8. But there are probably many factors that influence the damage rate to the villi as well as intensity of reaction to exposure. There is still a lot we don't know. One of the gray areas is in regard to those who are "silent" celiacs, i.e. those who seem to be asymptomatic or whose symptoms are so minor that they don't garner attention. When they get a small exposure (such as happens in cross contamination) and have no symptoms does that equate to no inflammation? We don't necessarily know. The "sensitive" celiac knows without a doubt, however, when they get exposure from cross contamination and the helps them know better what food products to avoid.
