Pain in abdomen

Hi I’ve been gluten free for 14 months since diagnosed with celiac. I’ve mostly avoided eating out, but right now I’m on a trip and so have gone to a couple restaurants this week. I now have pain in my abdomen that Feels like a rock sitting in my abdomen just slightly to the left and above my navel, that hurts more if I put any pressure on it (I.e. rest a hand on the spot). Has any one else had symptoms like this from getting glutened?

My stomach/duodenum actually will be visibly larger probably due to inflammation.  If I bend forward, I can feel a pinching and often it takes my breath away.  It sounds like your celiac disease maybe flaring.  ?

Ditto and during my challenge I felt sharp stabbing pains there . My husband came in once because I yelped out in pain. He brought me a drink of ginger and warm water and got me my epsom salt bath with my meditation music. 

I took the advice of many on here as a newbie to stop eating out. It was good advice.Respectfully, the decision is yours, but it is good advice if you begin to see it is an issue.

      Here's one more that shows Lysine also helps alleviate pain! Exploring the Analgesic Potential of L-Lysine: Molecular Mechanisms, Preclinical Evidence, and Implications for Pharmaceutical Pain Therapy https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12114920/

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
