odd sensation in gut question


ironictruth

Recommended Posts

ironictruth Proficient

I am still going through tests. But does anyone get an odd sensation above the navel and upper quadrant? Not pain, but more like an odd slight squeezing sensation. I also sometimes feel nauseous. But only slightly. I have added neuropathy to my list of weird stuff now. I go through periods during the day where it feels like my body has been hijacked with all sorts of weird sensations. It comes and goes. 

I do not have a gallbladder so it is not that. I was worried perhaps the pancreas, but i feel like I would be in a lot of pain. 

Where do folks feel gut pain and do you always feel pain or other sensations?

I used to get a pinching sensation in my stomach (the actual organ).  I don't have a gallbladder either.  I never had any issues with my pancreas but when family members had it, they were usually hospitalized because the pain was so severe.  

Are you back on gluten for testing?  I recall that you tested mildly positive on the DGP IgA test (like me), maybe a negative biopsy (not like me)  and that your brother has celiac disease.

Yep that's me. I am not back on gluten. But I have messed up a few times accidentally. I also did not really give up going out to eat. I'm very cautious about what I'm eating, but not aware of cross-contamination issues. I feel so horrible some days, it's really getting me scared. I also still get these tiny little bUrps all the time and now neuropathy in my hands and in one of my legs sometimes even in my face.  I will be seeing a neurologist this week. I did figure if it was something like pancreatitis it would hurt a lot like my gAllstones Did. Ouch! I do get pain in my chest and in what feels like my esophagus it earlier, but back in December the doctor said that all looked ok. This is just a weird sensation above the navel, and I wonder if people can have stuff going on in their lower intestine without actually getting paiN.  also my bowels float all the time now. Not just every once in awhile but every single time for the last several months now.

perhaps the bile duct is not working?  or there are residual stones?  some how the bile is not making to your intestines to help in digestion of fats, it would appear.

We shall see. Doc's office ordered an ultrasound today.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!
