Mine feels like my pancreas wants to explode (normal ultrasound and enzymes) Mid upper GI. Hurts to touch. Pepto and pepcid is not touching it.

Right now...my toe that I smashed with a dropped can hurts sometimes.

Mine is on my pointer finger from needle sticks from hand sewing.  On the last 10 marching band uniforms alterations!    ???

Seriously, you should consider an ER visit if your pain is that bad.  ? ????

Good ones guys! Pepto, pepcid, tylenol, hot shower, it is finally calming. 

I was considering ER but have paid too many visits already. I had an infected bile duct once and can say this pain was not as bad, but pretty darn close.

An infected bile duct is serious!  ?.   If your pain continues, you should see a doctor.  Maybe your bile duct is acting up again and presently a bit differently.  I can not recall, but do you have a gallbladder?  Mine was removed due to infection and it was at 0% functionality.  That was not fun!  

Feel better soon!

My gallbladder was removed as well. They did an endoscopic ultrasound recently and said everything was normal, the bile duct is enlarged but that it was probably from when it had the stone (19 years ago).  They also said no gastritis but I am starting to wonder...not sure if an EUS would see that. My endo treated me with antibiotics in case it was bacteria. 

So frustrating. I feel nauseous this morning.

      Just be sure that she continues eating lots of gluten daily for at least 2 weeks before the endoscopy, otherwise going gluten-free beforehand could create false negative results.

      Her results only showed greater then 100 which over 10 is considered positive.  But American standards still recommend the endoscopy to confirm.  And the Dr explained to us both the European and American standards and asked us what we wanted to do.  We figured since it’s still recommended here, do the endoscopy so Insurance can’t argue anything in the future regarding it

      My daughter also has it, and it's much better to discover it early. What was the positive level for her test? If she has over 10x that level, and you have celiac disease, I'm not sure if a biopsy is necessary to diagnose her. In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children!

      I forgot to mention that I also had to avoid eggs for a few years after initially going gluten-free, but could eat duck eggs without issues. Fresh duck eggs can often be found in Asian markets (be sure they are fresh eggs, because they sell various kinds of duck eggs that look the same like salted eggs, eggs with embryos inside, etc.), farmer's markets, and I was surprised to see Costco now selling fresh duck eggs.

      UPDATE:  here I am a couple months past my full diagnosis and going gluten free.  I’ve been feeling a lot better.  More energy, joint pain has gone down a lot.  Haven’t really had the headaches and migraines I’ve had for years.   My daughter(age 17) has had some symptoms which we thought were something else, but with my diagnosis I said,  have the dr test her for celiacs.  Her antibodies came back as greater then 100.  So she is scheduled for her endoscopy and going to be joining me on this journey.
