anyone feel like it was an ulcer?

I was dx with duoedenitis end of August. No mention of a stomach, esophagus or duoendal ulcer. Just a small hernia. Less then 2cm. But I have a LOT of pain right below the breast bone and I jumped when it was recently touched on exam. I can even feel a small bump in the area. I feel so dizzy and unwell, like some kind of bacteria is invading my brain and am very queasy still. 

My heart still feels weird too. 

Bloodwork normal, a bit low on protein which is unreal because I get a ton of it but it is always is low if I have not eaten. Mildly elevated myeloycytes and basophils.

My GI will probably not see me for a week or two, my primary care put me on sucralfate. 

As soon as the food hits my digestive system I feel really weird all over, stomach, chest, throat, head. Just feel like I have this horrible thing infecting my body. 

Did anyone feel ulcer pain and have it NOT be an ulcer? I suppose one could have developed since August.

I have the same symptoms.  These symptoms have overlapped other issues that I have and have been left untreated for far too long. Now the pain has gotten worst. My GP believes it's my hiatal hernia.  I have pain below my breastbone, pressure pushing up my chest/throat, dizziness and nausea.

Yes, the pain us much worse since August.

Hi! I know it's an old threat but I have the same pain, right under my breastbone, like someone is twisting something with rusted pliers 😕 it occured to me twice ( going through one right now ) and it seems to be when I accidentally ate gluten.

From what I've read it could be gallstones as well? 

Dis your pain ever got away?

@canadiangeek, if it were caused by gallstones it would happen even when you don't eat gluten. You mentioned that it happens to you when you accidentally eat gluten, so my guess is that in your case that is what causes it. This article might be helpful:

      It's not allergies.   Segments of the protein in corn, yeast, and dairy resemble segments if the protein gluten.  Our antibodies get triggered on the segments no matter where they are from.  Then the antibodies get really confused and attack our own cells which have segments resembling the  protein gluten in the cell membrane.  Hence, Celiac is an autoimmune disease. Did you have a test for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)?   Symptoms of hypothyroidism can be very subtle in the early stages.

      All of my other labs are normal though, CBC, metabolic, dexa scan, vitamin levels, ema, giladin peptide igg iga, etc.  Could other allergies like corn or yeast raise this? Should I have allergy testing done for other things?

      @thejayland10, The fact that your tTg IgA is slightly elevated after ten years gluten free suggests there's something going on.  We want all the antibodies to go away.  As long as they are around, our body is in a state of inflammation that can have long term deleterious effects outside of the gastrointestinal tract. Have you had your thyroid checked recently?   Hashimoto's thyroiditis can raise tTg IgA antibodies without gluten. Maybe you're getting gluten in your diet or from shampoo/toiletries.  Maybe you've developed an intolerance to other foods, like dairy, oats, corn, or yeast.  One my vitamins used brewer's yeast for a B12 source which, of course, made me ill.  One really has to be a bit of a detective.   Do think about giving the AIP diet a try.  The AIP diet is strict at first, allowing the immune system to calm down.  Later more foods are added back in slowly, checking for possible reactions.

      I do not take medications and my vitamins are certified gluten-free. Is it common for people to have slightly elevated ttg iga even when on gluten-free diet ?>  Is it common for people to have slightly elevated ttg iga even when on gluten-free diet ?

      That may or may not be true, depending on what that one marker is. Can you ask him specifically what that one marker is and post back about it?
