Hematuria & Gluten Intolerance?

Hi,

Just diagnosed myself as wheat/gluten intolerant during the past 8 mos, so I am new to this whole thing. I am struggling sometimes to figure out what I can eat. Recently went for a physical as part of a DOT requirement (Dept of Transportation) for my CDL license. Found out I have trace amounts of blood in my urine and so far the medical community can't figure out why. Has anyone ever had a correlation between celiac disease/wheat intolerance to this symptom? My health has not changed otherwise so I can't figure out why it would appear now. Oh by the way, I am non-typical in that my symptoms of wheat/gluten is that of difficulty breathing -- no intestinal upset. Any info would help. Thanks.

I would not self diagnose. Sounds like something other than celiac. You could be doing more harm to yourself by not having more invasive testing done. Has your GP not recommended that? Just my opinion, but that's what I would do. Celiac is quite serious and even if you do have it and are"treating" it right now, you could have some other issues related to having the celiac for an unknown amount of time.

Some people do seem to have issues with the urinary tract that is related to Celiac. I am actually trialing gluten free, to see if I can clear up the same problem. I always have trace blood in my urine and abnormal cells. They tell me the cells are probably due to inflammation somewhere. Celiac can cause inflammation. I was thoroughly checked, to make sure that it was nothing else. Urologist has run all kinds of test, but can find no answers. I have been told that some people just have the microscopic blood, and as long as everything else is fine, not to worry about it. I will be curious to see if gluten free helps. I do know that my knees feel great, I can bend them completely. I was able to climb on a chair using my left leg to push off with the other day. My knees haven't been strong enough to do that in a very long time! So I apparently had inflammation in my knees, that I didn't even know I had. I just attributed it to age and weight! HTH

Hi,

I'm new here. I've had microscopic amount of blood in my urine all my life - couldn't figure it out. After years of testing and anoying UTIs etc, I was diagnosed with interstacial cystitis.

About 4 years ago I started having a huge amount of stomach issues, plus sinus problems. Also, at the time, I believe I was having a lot of pasta. I was always sick and tired.

About 2 years ago, I started getting these sinus "headaches" that a neuro diagnosed as migraines. But I'm not so sure they are.

My stomach is better except I always tend to be bloated.

My doc tested for celiac bec. my Vit D level was low and I had no energy. It came back negative.

But I'm wondering if I do have a gluten sensitivity.

I went to a chriropractor, which is a little out of my comfort zone and he suggested a food test - which I'm not sure why he wanted to do it. Anyway, the results said I have an issue with dairy, wheat, yeast, eggs.

(1) I don't know if this test is valid and (2) I'm wondering if I do have a gluten sensitivity.

I don't know where to start, I just want these sinus headaches to go away.

Has anyone had similar to above, particularly with sinus issues?

Also, my B12 was extremely high, 2000, and I have no odea why.

I'm scared. I'm 41 and feel like I'm 90.

Thanks.

Jill

      Curious question

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
