Why Does My Stomach Hurt?


DrMom

Recommended Posts

I was recently scoped from both ends. GI Dr suspects Celiac Sprue, but blood work has not come back yet. I have done lots of reading here and other places about the problems with the villa in the small intestine. My question is why my stomach hurts. Is it also involved? I have not even heard this mentioned. Maybe I have missed it somewhere. I also have lots of other immune stuff going on and will post them at a later time. For now, someone please tell me why I don't want to eat, get full quickly, have dry heaves, etc. This has been going on for months. Have had CT scans and GI series. Please help.

Hi DrMom (love that name!) and welcome to the board :)

Nausea and stomach pain are both symptoms of Celiac. Nausea was my very first (and for a long time the only) symptom. Even now when I get a gluten reaction, I will get nausea and pain, in addition to the D. The damage that happens in Celiac Disease happens in the small intestine, but we can have pain anywhere along the digestive tract.

For many years (pre-diagnosis of Celiac), I used to get what I called mini flu's. Stomach pains, nausea and throwing up. They did not last long.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.

      Hello, @Hannah24 Have you had a DNA test done?  Celiac Disease is genetic.  You must have at least one gene to develop celiac disease.  You don't have to be consuming gluten for a genetic test.   Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives.  Some lucky people are seronegative, but still have celiac disease.  Peripheral neuropathy, tingling in hands and feet are symptoms of vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamin C, Thiamine B1, Niacin B3, Pyridoxine B6, and Cobalamine B12 can each cause peripheral neuropathy.  These same vitamins are needed to produce blood cells.  Most undiagnosed Celiacs suffer from nutritional deficiencies. The DNA test would be helpful.

      We do hear of cases of remission but they generally eventually revert back. I wouldn't push your luck.
