Pain. Connected To Cd Or Cocidence?

[VydorScope]

Since going back on gluten for the test (long story, short version is I have a neg blood work but its probably not vaild due to the low levels of gluten in my system at the time, theres a thread on it if your bored...), I have a sharp pain in my side. Its around the middle of my rib cage, left hand side.

It hurts when I breath in deep, or twist to look behind me when backing up my truck, yawn, sneeze, those kinds of things. I asked my subsitute doc (mines out on marternity leave) about it and they did X-Rays, and etc. He decided I must have pulled a muscle, and siad it should get better in a couple days. THat was over a week ago, no change. Advil has no efftect on it. I have not gone back to see him, cause if its connected to celiac disease then theres no point till the recomended 3 months pass. Cant go gluten-free now, not when Im 1/2 way there!

Connected to celiac disease you think?

I think it is connected to celiac disease - there is a chain on fibromyalgia or maybe it is "does anyone else have this" - one of those 2 - on the related disorders board where several people have talked about this. I have had this pain ever since I think Celiac started. I have only been gluten-free a few months, so I'm not sure if it will go away. I have no idea what it is - I can only tell you that I know exactly what you're talking about.

Apparently that is the locality where the part of the gut most affected by celiac disease, lies.

[Guest Kalynn]

I am pre-diganosis, but I think I know what you are talking about, I have had that pain for a couple of months now. Kind of a dull ache under the left rib cage. I think I posted a question earlier wondering if anyone else had that symptom.

Hang in there, hopefully it gets better!

hello all,

My son is on gluten-free diet,yesterday he had a quinva-cake, and after about 2 hours he had abdoman pain, I think he was ok today,but after dinner he complained of stomack pain,todays meal was safe ,if the pain is due to gluten,did he have it all the time,or it is normal that the pain comes after the meal.

thank you

Hi Elisabeth,

if your son got glutened yesterday, then I think he could expect to have some pain after meals for some days. Everybody's reaction is different, but when you've had some gluten, the intestines are especially irritated in the beginning part, you know the part right after the stomach. So when food starts to move from the stomach to the small intestine, and the intestine is irritated from gluten a couple days ago, then it might hurt after meals until the intestine has recovered again.

That's one, non-doctor explanation at least.

I also have upper abdominal pain when I get glutened. Sometimes it gets so bad that I cannot move and it hurts to breathe. I have to take short quick breaths. Pain killers do not work for my pain either. I think it is definately gluten celiac disease related.

[elisabet]

thank you,the strange thing is that he didn t have abdominal pain,before gluten-free diet.

does any one else experincing some thing like this?

thanks

I don't remember having this pain until after I started the gluten-free diet. My body developed a few new symptoms after I started the diet (after I have a gluten contamination). I now have the pain, spots on my skin, and heart palpitations when I get contaminated.

I also get a dull pain right under my ribcage after eating gluten. I remember before gluten-free that it came with pressure and affected my breathing. Now if I get glutened it isn't as bad but does still happen.

What are the spots like?

[Carriefaith]

The spots look like the chicken pox or mosquito bites and sometimes a rash develops around them. They are sometimes very itchy or not itchy at all. Some last for a few hours and other may stick around for a week (It depends on how itchy they are). I get them on my neck, legs, arms and the collarbone area.

[lorka150]

Thanks for the reply. It's weird becasue twice since gluten-free I have gotten rashes exactly three days after glutening - they last pretty much all day and they are small white-head type bumps that cover my stomach, arms and groin. I have no idea if it's related.

[Carriefaith]

I have no idea if it's related.

I would guess that it would be related.
