Hello, I Am A 35 Y/o Male With Coeliac Disease.

Hello, I am a 35 y/o male with Coeliac Disease. The "worst reaction" I have ever had to Gluten would have been a loose motion/possibly accompanied with marginal stomach pain. It is worth noting that I absolutely follow a very strict gluten-free diet. And I am extremely cautious when dining.

I ate a meal this evening and since then, disturbing my sleep, has been a very very tender stomach. I have mistaken this discomfort for needing to pass water. Upon entering the bathroom I was physically sick (I have not been physically sick in around 10 years).

I am slightly overweight (2 to 3%) and I have abstain from alcohol for 15 years.

Since vomiting my tonsils are very painful. I hath to clear my throat and unfortunately there is bright red blood in my mucus.

I will get a general practitioner's appointment as soon as I can. In the meantime would you think that this blood is from my now damaged tonsils (due to bile and vomiting)?
