I have been having lower left abdominal pain on/off for a couple months now. Ob/gyn did ultrasound, came up normal. I've been to urgent care, doc couldn't come up with anything. Has anyone else experienced this? It's near my left hip, it isn't debilitating it's just there.

Hi Salaw, and welcome to the forum!  Do you have Celiac disease?  As for your lower left abdominal pain, since you have ruled out female issues, the likely cause is gas or constipation.  There are two bends in the colon in that area (see this pic:http://img.webmd.com/dtmcms/live/webmd/consumer_assets/site_images/articles/image_article_collections/anatomy_pages/colon.webp) and if you are prone to constipation, things can get hung up around there.  You can rule out gas by taking some gas-x and seeing if it helps.  If it doesn't, it may help you to do things to improve the flow of things, there is a ton of information on the internet about help with constipation, but make improvements in your diet before you try medicine or any natural remedies.

Thank you for the reply! I do have celiac disease. I'm not constipated. I haven't tried gas-x I'll have to give that ago.

      Legumes can be a source of wheat contamination, but I assume that you use versions labelled "gluten-free."

      You may want to look into Benfotiamine, which is the fat soluble version of B1.

      Be sure all testing is completed before going gluten-free, that is, unless you are certain that gluten is the culprit and have decided not to eat it again. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      As a side note, it seems that medical science has evolved in the past 5-6 years regarding Celiac Disease, and I am now catching up. It seems that anything that disrupts the microbiome sufficiently enough can--in genetically susceptible individuals--lead to Celiac Disease. I have been reading now that antibiotics, excessive simple carbohydrates such as refined sugars and starches, the manner of birth such as C-section vs vaginal delivery, the diversity of one's diet, the presence of certain bacteria or viruses, can all contribute to microbiome dysbiosis, which can lead to Celiac. This is fascinating research.
