My dh has had rectal bleeding on/off for yrs. I was unaware of severity until recently when he was diagnosed with severe anemia. He had a transfusion, iron iv and a long course of iron tablets. He had s colonoscopy and endoscopy. All they can find is haemorroids and a hiatal hernia.
They did a biopsy and it came back negative for celiacs.
But the bleeding is very hit and miss. We have found a couple of things that aggravate it- caffiene and junk food.
Is it possible to be gluten intolerant but not be diagnosed with celiacs? And how can you monitor diet/symotoms? Does anyone have experience of rectal bleeding caused by an allergy/ intolerance? He is so fed up, he is really getting down about it and i really want to help him.
He is due to have a small capsule endoscopy 'in the near future' so we are waiting for an appt.
