Abdominal Pain That Hurts When I Walk?

Hello all.

 

I've been on the gluten challenge, and reacted very badly, but fortunately (as far as tests/biopsy says) I do not have celiac disease.

 

Anyway, since being off gluten for about a week, I still have really bad digestion. Typical malabsorption stools etc etc, and now constipated (slow/virtually non-functioning digestive system...). For many years I have had nagging pain in my lower right abdomen which has gotten worse on the gluten challenge, and now it hurts in that area when I walk/move. Would this be constipation or does it sound like some kind of inflammation? I don't see my gastroenterologist again until June.

 

Thanks for any responses.

Hi !

 

Does the pain come and go or is it there every day???  Poor you, how horrid !  I'm on week one of adding gluten in again an I feel rubbish - digestive system just not working and I really dont want to resort to tablets.  Has your gastroenterologist any idea what is causing your problems?  I'm partly scared at going through tests etc in case they say everything is fine and I come to a dead end.  My local GP has done a blood test for coeliac which was negative and also wheat which was also negative and isnt interested in testing for anything else and just sends me away with tablets, hence in desperation I'm going private!

It usually comes and goes but at the moment it is there constantly. It's also incredibly tender when I press on that region (around where my right ovary or appendicitis would be). My gastroenterologist thinks it is still a gluten problem.

 

Sucks about your situation :( I haven't found a GP who really cares about finding answers for me. My specialist is great, hope you find one that helps you out too!

As far as I know, the large descending colon (the one on the way "out") is on the left side.  That's usually where constipation pain is although if you get really backed up, I wouldn't be surprised if it can affect the right side too.

 

I get ovarian pain for about 6-12 hours when I ovulate.  Could that be it?

 

Hope it goes away soon!

I had some pain, in the groin area and a bit further up, I think where you are referring to, but  on the left side.  My doctor sent me for an ultrasound scan just to check ovaries etc - all OK.  I mentioned to the doctor who did the scan that the pain seemed worse when I moved.   She thought it might be mechanical.   I am going to put this past my gastroenteroligist next visit, but I have seen a chriopractor in the meantime who says that I have inflammation in my sacroiliac joint (common in celiacs) and the pain can refer to the groin and lower abdomen.  Do you have any pain in that joint, too?  Worth a thought.

I've had a similar pain there - off and on mostly and my doctor said that I probably only produced an egg each month from that ovary.  Whether she's right or wrong I've no idea because she's very happy on dishing out tablets rather than testing and checking stuff :-(  I may be wrong but I do think that doctors in the US are more clued up about coeliac/gluten sensitivity testing.

Hey everyone, thanks for the responses. A doctor thought it might actually be my ovary and sent me for an ultrasound which should that everything looked okay except that I'm close to ovulating. Couldn't see my appendix and obviously could still be colon, but the pain is gone for now!

 

Ali, sounds like my GPs. I'm in Australia and I can't find one I'm happy with! :( Let's move...

      Frustrated

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im not being heard by my previous doctor I had for 25 years. I switched in May of this year.I was half told of my celiac disease in 1994 and to stay away from wheat and Ill be just fine.Im not.Was on tramadel from I think 2006 til 2023.In 2007 still gluten-free had blood test and showed other food allergies. I have been avoiding and reading labels so I don't get sick.Im 54 years old, my right eye feels as if pressure ( seeing eye specialist) saw dermatologist and had skin graph was told ulcers but since I was disregarded of my celiac disease and it was previous doctor who sent me to dermatologist, its now " undetermined ".I pushed for the first and second ANA panel and negative. I had my 5th colonoscopy July 9 this year and colon looks great, BECAUSE IM gluten-free for 31 YEARS.Waiting on biopsy.My only celiac proof on medical was 2014 that i physically have, i don't have original. How do I get my new doctor to understand the severity of pain Im dealing with, daily flare ups.Exhausted and allergic to everything. Menopause has intensified, i feel but then again I had my 3rd covid in March 2023 and I can't bounce back.Pain down left leg always in the bathroom when I barely eat.Its affecting my life and frustrated with doctors not knowing.To be far my new doctor is having me see two specialist but how do I get him to understand its my false negative celiac disease????

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
