Gas - Can it really hurt?

Hello

I am just wondering if anyone has experience very painful wind/gas?  The reason I ask is I often have lower left quadrant pain (left of umbilicus going down to groin).   I have had two gynecological scans - all is well, except one radiologist saw I had internal varicose veins, suggestive of pelvic congestion, that was overruled by a specialist - and also last week a sigmoidoscopy which showed a very healthy gut.   The only other thing that was remarked was when I was having the earlier scans was that I had a lot of wind!  

Early in the morning I have no pain but as the day goes on it worsens to the point that on a bad day the pain radiates into my hip.    Often following a BM the pain comes on suddenly and stays for the day.  

My gastroenterologist thinks it could be IBS or dairy. Yet sometimes it feels almost like gas or the BM is causing strain on internal ligaments, causing the pain.  A chiro told me a couple of years ago that I have inflammation in the sacroiliac joint so perhaps with this, the internal veins, a food intolerance - it is just a perfect storm.   When I do exercise again this pain is triggered.

I just don't know what tests to ask for next...:unsure:

Can anyone relate?  Any advice?

      yes, the above is true. however; if the doctor does the tests and finds your are a candidate then dapsone is the drug that will stop the blisters immediately. dapsone started as a drug for malaria and leprosy....I do not know how it became known for dermatitis herpetiformis. I can tell you that my doctor told me she had several patients that have taken it over 20 years. our dosage was one a day until clear,then we went to every other day for a while, working down to zero a day. I still have an active prescription for dapsone but have not had to take one in several years. in closing, if anyone reads this and has truly been diagnosed for dermatitis herpetiform is, then ask your doctor for...

      I wonder how many doctors are aware of this site and would or should recommend it to their patients?

      I just got my test results after a less than 2-week gluten challenge consuming about 5 g of gluten per day on average.  Anti tTG-IgA: <0.2 AU/ml (<8 is negative) IgA: 180 mg/dl (Reference range is 70-400) I previously had been on a gluten-free diet for around 3 years or so, with occasional cheating and not being strict about cross-contamination. I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches). Is this likely to be NCGS rather than celiac disease given the test results and my history? Note: I have one copy of HLA-DQ8.

      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time.

      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.
