What Causes A Sore Lump At The Base Of Spine With Blood In Urine?

My son, 19, was diagnosed with Celiac 3 months ago when he was hospitalized at 6', 120lbs, after fainting. (The hospital ran 4 days of tests- everything negative.) It was 2 years of being sick and losing weight prior to the diagnosis. He has been eating gluten/dairy/soy free since. He has gained a little weight, skin has color again, and energy is picking up. Today he had visible blood in his urine. He also has a sore/lump on the skin at the base of his spine. He sits at his computer for hours. Could easily be an infected ingrown hair. He has no insurance. Could this be related?
