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.

      Hi all !! Did anyone ever get prescribed methylprednisone steroids for inflammation of stomach and intestines?  Did it work ??  Thank you !!

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

      Hello still dancing around my celiac disease and not getting medically backed up considering Ive been glutenfree since 1994.All my ailments are the core issue of my ghost disease aka celiac disease. Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:
