Yes, actually I read a study awhile back where they said that most people with celiac disease have blood in their stool even though most of it is occult blood (invisible to the naked eye) so most don’t know it. How much blood is it? If it’s just a small amount, don’t worry about it and just go back to eating gluten free. If it’s like gushing or anything you should see your doctor. If the rest of your family has celiac disease and you seem to be reacting to gluten you should stick with the gluten free. Look on the bright side: you won’t develop all the awful diseases associated with it like diabetes, lupus, psoriasis, nerve damage. You’re luckier than many other people!
What do you think? Answer below!
WHY in the world did you do that? I know the diet can be challenging at times, but the consequences are NOT worth it!
Get back on the diet and stick to it! NOW!
ok, lecture over… I have not had bleeding d/t being glutened, but if you have any hemorrhoids and then you get the big “D” then it is possible that you have irritated it to the point of making it bleed.
If this continues you MUST go to the doctor, blood in your stool is never normal.
