Pain in the right side of abdomen


Mihai

Recommended Posts

Mihai Rookie

Hello, I've just made my account today, but i've read lots of posts in the past that helped me throw the bad days.

I've been diagnosed with celiac 3 months ago (after 6 months of pain, gas, bloating, constipation, brain fog and fatigue) and i tried to be strictly gluten, corn, diary, soy (only 1 month) free. I also cut most of sugars, and other grains besides rice. I eat mostly veggies, fruits, fish, chicken, rice and quinoa. 

Sins then i've been back and forth with my symptoms as i had good and bad (more often) days . I learned that i need to be patient and give my gut time to heal, but for some time i have a continuously pain in lower right side of my abdomen, a pain that feels like i have a knife inside my gut. It gets worse after i eat and food arrives where small intestine meets the colon. I'm pretty sure i am gluten free and that i'm not experience any CC cause i have a food journal, the pain is a little different and i don't get fatigue, brain fog and depression symptoms.

Does anyone of you have this kind of pain? Is this a part of healing process? I should give my gut more time to heal or i should go to take some tests?

I would say give it more time, but first a couple of questions: Are you on any medications? Can you say more about the timing of the colon pain? Before or after you eat? Before or after a BM? Now I see that you say it is continuous. Is that really the case, or is it worse at times than others? My hunch is that you are on the right track, as many of your other symptoms have abated.

I used to have left sided pain, almost like a flank pain. Occasionally I still get it, and it is very associated with (sorry about this) an impending BM.

I developed. A sharp pain like you describe but have been gluten free negative blood for 10 yrs. Had colonoscopy and sonogram of appendix with nothing abnormal. It stopped when i eliminated citric and ascorbic acid foids and addituves. No phycisian knows why i have this so no clinical name. Ii seemed gi because gas and bm made it sharper but i suspect it is urinary tract but possibly valve from sm gi to large?

Hi plumbago, thanks a lot for answer. 

I don't take any medications, just probiotics, i use to take vitamin d supplements and some other natural treatments like turmeric, ginger, apple cider vinegar, etc.  The pain starts in the morning and doesn't stop till i sleep and it's only on the right side. Is not so hard the whole day, but 1-2 hours after eating is bothering me very serious. I'm not healed yet and i know there will be pain for another few months, but this is much hard then i expected, i'm in the same place with pain as i was when diagnosed. 

I have that flank pain also, i can feel it on my back right side also. Hope that there is no other issue..

Hello! I know this thread is old but I just wanted to add for anyone who looks at threads like this while waiting for tests etc like I did! I have just been diagnosed as coeliac and had a lot of right sided lower abdo pain! My colonoscopy was fine and all the pain is associated with being coeliac. Hope that might be reassuring! Hope everyone is staying well 🙂

I have right sided upper pain that radiates to the back. I asked my doc if it might be my gallbladder but I have no sensory pain when i palpate the area. I think it might be gas or what they call hepatic flexure syndrome. Either way I’m having a CT of the abdomen to see what we can see to make sure there’s no nasty cause.

I recall that I had lower-right side pain until I was finally diagnosed and went gluten-free. It did take months for it to get better.

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the...

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
