Not sure if this is the best place to post this. I am looking for an article that I read here on Celiac.com, which described why gluten reactions are so much worse once you've been "clean" for awhile. It wasn't the whole point of the article, it was just mentioned within. Does anyone know what I'm talking about??

I am trying to teach my family about this but they are not understanding why gluten "supposedly" effects me in so much more obvious a way now that I'm living gluten-free. I'd like to provide them with this info. Hope someone here can help! Thanks.

I did a quick search, both the forum (default search) and then articles only, but after looking at a few I gave up. I did find this forum thread where mushroom said:

I often use the analogy that the anti-gliadin guards go off duty when the gluten is withdrawn, and then come back madder than h*ll at being called back from vacation to deal with that pesky gluten AGAIN!! just when they thought they got rid of it biggrin.gif Yes, the reaction is often stronger after you have been gluten free for a while.

Maybe that'll help?Just in case, I searched for 'strong reaction gluten free'

Phooey, no that's not the one but thanks for trying! It was some type of "official article" that had a paragraph that described the phenomenon. I've read so many great ones here on the site, I have no idea which one it was... <_<

      Thank you 😊 I will certainly have those tests done to be thorough although bright red color indicates lower down.  This information is very interesting,  Thank you so much 🙏🏻

      As Plumbago mentioned, bleeding in the upper end of the GI track tends not to show up as bright red in color because it gets acted upon by the digestion process and more thoroughly mixed in with food residues that are passing through the intestines.

      @Bronwyn W Working with your medical provider, you could do a complete blood count test. If you were bleeding say from an ulcer in the stomach (and let's hope not), your red blood cells could be low and your hemoglobin low as well. Your stools may show up as the proverbial "dark and tarry," indicative of a bleeding site further away from the anus. Basically, you may be anemic. Your heart may be beating extra fast as a way to compensate for the decreased number of blood cells, your oxygen saturation may be lower than normal on a pulse oximeter, and so on. But talk to your doctor.

      Thank you for this insight. I have had rectal bleeding after glutening and subsequent constipation (+ IBS-C) and always attributed it to internal hemorrhoids (diagnosed). What I wasn't aware of is the possibility of bleeding further up the digestive tract. Please can you elaborate on the causes and symptoms to watch for?

      Still unsure.....

      Be sure to be eating gluten daily until all of your celiac disease tests are completed (at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).
