I have been off my diet for 4-5 months noticed some blood tonight. Have been badly constipated, waking up with diarrhea and massive stomach pains, I know this is from not being gluten free but does this cause the bleeding too. It is unlikely one would develop bowel cancer at 23 ?

If you've been constipated, you could very well have hemmoroids. They bleed sometimes during BMs. I was C for a long time and would sometimes get very large external hems, but. they can be on the inside too. Regardless, get checked out by a doctor soon. That's nothing to mess with

I agree with the previous poster. It is highly unlikely that this would be cancer. You sound like you are really having some nasty effects from being off the diet. Why are you not going back to it?

Sugar.....especially fruit......caused excessive rectal bleeding. No problems now, as long as I limit sugar. (And I did get checked out by my doc....have had 2 colonoscopies)

Rectal bleeding can be a symptom of Crohn's Disease too. Crohn's is another autoimmune disease. People with Crohn's frequently have celiac disease as well....here is a link to an article about this:

You should see your doctor about this, of course. And hopefully resume the gluten free diet!

Good luck!

In my case yes, I do get bleeding sometimes, if I have a glutening incident anyway. Also sometimes little patches of almost transparent paper thin tissue show up in the bowl. I think that is the villous lining of the intestines coming out. Sort of like a thin layer of skin. Far as I know I don't have Chrohn's although one of my younger brother's did have it. This doesn't happen to me now unless I screw up real good. Sometimes I wish I had understood this stuff better back when he was alive. I wonder if I could have helped him some.

GFinDC,

Intestinal tissue coming out sounds more like Crohn's than celiac, I think. You can definitely have both celiac and Crohn's....and if your brother had it, you might want to be checked to see if you do too!

Take care,

JoAnn

the "tissue" could also be mucus, which might be hard to differentiate in the bowl, as it were. (but I don't disagree that getting checked with a familial background is a good idea. :) )

Thanks for the input Jo-ann and Tiffany. I suppose this might not be a common thing for celiacs then. I was thinking it was kind of a normal reaction of a celiac. When I saw Dr. Fassano (just one time), and told him about bleeding and black stool pre-gluten-free, ( black stool being another sign of bleeding), he didn't seem surprised by it. The stuff is really more like skin than mucous. But like I said it doesn't happen unless I get glutened, or eat carrots, or eat dairy or etc... Anyhow, it makes sense to have a talk with a gastro about it. It might explain why I react to some things that in theory should be gluten-free. I just sort of doubt it after seeing what my brother went through with Crohns. Better to have a look see by a doc though for sure.

UnhappyC, I hope you decide to go back on the diet soon. It is not all that hard to do if you stick with it. Just something you have to deicde for yourself and then do. Myself I don't feel like I have a choice as my symptoms are strong enough that it isn't real attractive to cheat. But I know it isn't like that for everyone.

Just decided to ignore, sometimes I feel panicked when im not on my diet thinking I have everything under the sun, feel like a bit of a hypochondriac as well. I had diarrhea cos I wasnt doing my diet its probably from that, dont think I would have bowl cancer or whatever at 23 thanks for the input guys

      iron digestibility

      @glucel, There's a strong correlation between thiamine deficiency, hypoxia, and insomnia. Thiamine is needed to help red blood cells carry oxygen. In thiamine deficiency, hypoxia (lack of oxygen in tissues) occurs, and this can result in insomnia. Hypoxia causes systemic inflammation, increases inflammatory markers, and is associated with cardiovascular...

      New Research Reveals How Antibody Genes May Shape the Immune Response in Celiac Disease

      Thanks. Not a big thing, particularly because most likely it is "true" but not yet demonstrated.

      iron digestibility

      Thanks to everybody for your help. I reread the dr's notes from the biopsy procedure and it seems I had worse than atrofied villi. It was termed flattened mucosa. So while iron ferratin levels are normal my bet is, as kitty alluded to, iron not getting into cells. I have dr appointment next mo but don't hold out a lot of hope, There is strong correlation...

      New Research Reveals How Antibody Genes May Shape the Immune Response in Celiac Disease

      Thanks for the thoughtful comment. You are right that the study’s main conclusion was cautious: the researchers found that inherited antibody-gene variants significantly shape the naïve B-cell receptor repertoire, including usage of some gene segments involved in celiac-related antibody responses, but they did not find strong evidence that polymorphisms in...

      Osteoporosis: Does the body start rebuilding bones after starting a gluten-free diet?

      I have osteoporosis and have crushed three vertebrae. I supplement with Lysine, Tryptophan, threonine, calcium, Boron, Vitamins D, A, and K, and the B vitamins (folate, B12, and Thiamine B1 especially for bone health). I tried Fosomax, but it tore up my insides. I prefer the supplements. I feel better and my bones feel stronger. References...

      iron digestibility

      @glucel,  There's a strong correlation between thiamine deficiency, hypoxia, and insomnia.  Thiamine is needed to help red blood cells carry oxygen.  In thiamine deficiency, hypoxia (lack of oxygen in tissues) occurs, and this can result in insomnia. Hypoxia causes systemic inflammation, increases inflammatory markers, and is associated with cardiovascular events.  Curiously, thiamine deficiency is correlated with excessive daytime sleepiness and oversleeping.   I found a combination of Tryptophan, Pyridoxine B 6, magnesium, and L-theanine works very well for inducing sleep.  Sometimes, I add Passion Flower Extract and/or Sweet Melissa.  There's no side effects the next morning with Passion Flower, it just induces sleepiness.  Sweet Melissa is groovy, and has anti-inflammatory effects on the digestive system.   I prefer to take 250 mg Benfotiamine and 100 mg Thiamine TTFD in the mornings and another dose of Benfotiamine at lunch.  I try not to take any thiamine after four p.m. because it keeps my brain so energized and wanting to think... Oh, I do take a combination of another form of thiamine (sulbutiamine), Pyridoxine and Cobalamine for a pain reliever sometimes, but I can sleep after taking that.  But thiamine does help regulate circadian rhythm.   Make sure you're getting Omega Three fats! They'll help you satisfy that late night carb craving with fewer carbs.  Flaxseed oil, olive oil, sunflower seed oil.  Nuts and nut butters, like walnuts and cashews, are good, too, if you can tolerate them.    Try taking the 100mg thiamine HCl before your aerobics and see if there's a difference.  Sweet dreams!

So while iron ferratin levels are normal my bet is, as kitty alluded to, iron not getting into cells. I have dr appointment next mo but don't hold out a lot of hope, There is strong correlation of low red blood cells and insomnia so at least I finally solved that one after few yrs of being mislead. I intend to take stop taking 100 mg b1 at noon time and start 150 mg benfotiamin. I may or may not add the the 100 mg b1evening meal. BTW, last night had 1/3 lb beef. potato then 2 bowls cereal and an apple later in the eve. I generally do my areobics before supper so maybe that contributes to the hunger.

      Coeliac And Cardio Vascular Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Aileen Cregan, I was put on high blood pressure medication, too. But I was able to correct my high blood pressure by supplementing with Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  I am no longer on high blood pressure medication.  I feel much better without the medication. I continue to supplement Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine.   The particular high blood pressure medication I took was Norvasc (amlodipine), which causes thiamine deficiency by blocking thiamine transporters so that thiamine cannot enter cells.  Benfotiamine can get into cells by merging with the cell membrane, thus bypassing nonfunctional thiamine transporters.   Indapamide also blocks thiamine transporters! The use of this type of medications that block thiamine precipitated Wernickes Encephalopathy.  My doctors did not recognize the connection to Thiamine deficiency.  I nearly died.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing with Benfotiamine, a fat soluble form of thiamine that bypasses thiamine transporters.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to check your thiamine levels asap.  Routine blood tests for thiamine are not an accurate measure of  thiamine in the body.   Absorption of essential vitamins like Thiamine is altered in Celiac Disease due to damaged villi, inflammation and dysbiosis.  The Gluten Free diet can be lacking in vitamins and minerals.  Discuss supplementing with all the eight B vitamins,  the four fat soluble vitamins and necessary minerals. Please keep us posted on your progress!
