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.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      By Greymo · Posted

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
