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

      Basic metabolic panel results - more flags

      I have many of those same CMP irregularities from time to time, with the exception that my potassium is always normal. What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec.

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      Not sure what you mean by "soy being like gluten". Soy does not cause a celiac reaction. However, soy is one of the foods that many celiacs don't tolerate well for other reasons. Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one...

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang...

What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part. It depends on the particular parameter (some are more important than others) and it depends on how far out of range it is. Docs also look for trends over time as opposed to isolated snapshots of this or that being out of spec at any given time. Our body chemistry is a dynamic entity.

Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one of them or all of them. It just means it's common. You may not have a problem with soy at all. Celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune response to the ingestion of gluten that creates inflammation in the small bowel lining that, over time, damages that lining.

      Hey all  Has anyone on here experienced any of the following on their basic metabolic panel results ? This is what mine is currently flagging : - low sodium  - nearly too low potassium - nearly too low chloride - high CO2  - low anion gap  This is now after being nearly gluten-free for over a year (although I admit I make mistakes sometimes and pay dearly for it). My TtG went down to undetectable. I was so sensitive to so many foods I am now avoiding meat dairy and don’t eat a lot of cooked food in general (raw veggies, white rice, avocados and boiled eggs are my usual go-to meal that doesn’t make me sick). But my abdomen still hurts, i have a range of other symptoms too (headaches that last for days before letting up, fatigue, joint pain, bladder pain). Anyway im hoping my urologist (that’s now the latest specialist I’ve seen on account of the bladder pain and cloudy urine after eating certain foods) will help me with this since he ordered this metabolic panel. But I’m bouncing around a lot between specialists and still not sure what’s wrong. Also went back to the GI doctor and she thought maybe the celiac is just not healed or I have something else going on in the colon and I should have that looked at too. I’m still anemic too BTW. And I’m taking sooo may vitamins daily.

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/
