Blood in the stool in celiacs may be related ot the celiac disease or
not. Visible blood is usually not directly related to the celiac disease
and needs to be investigated. Blood found on testing the stool( occult
blood) may be related to the inflammation of celiac disease or it may be
related to host of other problems, which include, eating red meat before
the test, polyps in the colon, ulcers, bad esophagitis( from heartburn),
anti-inflammatory drugs or aspirin, tumors in the colon, hemmorrhoids.
The detection of blood in the stool needs careful evaluation by a
physician to determine the individuals needs for further tests. Well
treateedd and healed celiac disease should not give rise to positive
blood in the stools.
