where is your pain?

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.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
