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...

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
