My Mum and I both have Celiac Disease. I’m not worried for myself (I’m 21 and since being on a gluten free diet I’ve had 95% improvement), but my Mum is still unwell.
She’s 51, very tiny and underweight. I don’t think she sticks to her gluten free diet as well as she should. She’s still have vitamin deficiencies (B12 and iron). She said that there’s blood in bowel movements, often diarrhea. Her doctor knows and I think she’s been sent to have a colonoscopy, but I’m not sure because it’s not a topic that’s easy to talk about!
So, does anyone know if my Mum is at an increased risk of bowel cancer?
I know some cancers can easily be treated and have a high rate of survival, is bowel cancer one of them?
My uncle (who’s a urologist and has Celiac Disease) was mentioning the high rates of bowel cancer in our country the other day. Are the rates higher because people don’t have the testing done? Or because the symptoms are silent?
Thank you.
It’s gluten, not just wheat.
i got my period on the 12th of january and i started to bleed on sunday. however, it isn’t any sort of heavy bleeding or anything. every time i use the washroom, i’ll wipe and there’ll be like little spots of blood on the paper. lately, i’ve been constipated/diarrhea’ing. do i have hemorrhoids? :S
i don’t bleed from my anus, more from… [don't wanna say it] where my period comes from. 
Ok guys *and girls this one is going to be a lil dirty so sorry in advance
I’ve had a bad stomach for a week or so now, a mix between heavy diarrhea & constipation. (today was the latter)
I usually tend to find a little fresh blood (and some black blood) on the tissue paper but I’ve put this down to a recurrence of haemorrhoid’s (which ive had ligated twice with a rubber band)
whats concerned me is today after a movement of bowels, there was a LOT of blood on tissue inc. what looked like a blood clot, tar like in appearance; dark red & gooey
I did check in toilet to make sure I wasn’t bleeding out, but it appeared I was, there was also a considerable amount of Fresh blood mixed in with solid stool, as well as a few drops of blood in the water.
I feel generally ok, a little weak & i have a bit of a fever but I did have a few drinks last night so I put it down to this – or could it be something more sinister ?
sorry for the disgusting nature of this question people and I hope someone can give me a decent answer…
PS im 29 years old, & overweight. (oh and cancer seems to run in my family hence part of concern)
Thanks in advance !!!
