Does anyone else get severe bruising from celiac disease? I literally have to just tap myself against something and I get a bruise. Half the time I don't even know how or when I got them. I don't know anyone else with celiac so any others information would be great. Thank you :)

Hello @Coconut1996, how are you feeling today?

Thank you for starting this discussion, and I am sorry to hear that you have been experiencing easy bruising due to your condition. Anaemia is a common symptom of celiac and may be responsible for weakness, tiredness, and susceptibility to bruising. Have you consulted your GP regarding this? Perhaps they could prescribe you iron supplements. In any case, I'll go ahead and invite a few members of our community to participate in this discussion and tell us if they have experienced similar symptoms due to celiac:

@Somya.P hi Somya. I have regular blood tests due to the coeliac and they have told me I don’t have anaemia. I also have Osteopenia due to the coeliac and am on medication for that.
