Left Side Pain

Just curious if anyone else has this since it seems the right side pain got a lot of "me toos"!. :) I've been feeling odd in my left side. It isn't really pain, just feel more like... being poked with a finger in my innards. That is the side with my one remaining ovary so I'm going to ask for a thorough ovarian/uterine cancer screening. But sometimes it feels more like it might be intestinal.

I feel like my abdomen is definitely bloated still and I have been gluten free for 3 months, dairy free for a week.

Any ideas? I'd say it is usually about on the same level as my belly button but over to the left a couple of inches.

I HAVE PAIN ON MY LEFT SIDE JUST ABOUT WHERE YOU ARE SAYING AND SOMETIMES A BIT HIGHER. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TELL MOST OF THE TIME THAT MINE IS COMING FROM GAS. IF I TAKE SOME MAALOX OR GAS X IT SEEMS TO HELP AND I START TO PASS ALOT OF GAS, THEN THE PAIN GOES AWAY. YOU MIGHT TRY THIS, BUT DO GET IT CHECKED OUT. I HAD TALK TO MY GI DOCTOR ABOUT IT AND HE DID TAKE X-RAYS AND A LOT OF GAS POCKETS SHOWED UP ON THE X-RAYS. HE IS THE ONE THAT TOLD ME TO TAKE THE GAS X OR MAALOX. GOOD LUCK B)

I get that when I have gluten, and for me, it is gas....it goes "away" after a while.....lol....

I'm a left side pain person.

I suffer from lots of gas bubbles and get pains anywhere from the lower abdomen up to the armpit and pectoral area. I've been to the Dr. many times and even wore a Halter monitor for 24-hrs to check-out the old ticker and everything is fine (with the exception of the gas pockets). I hope that as my intestine heals I notice less pains and get back to feeling like a "normal" person again.

Can anyone else relate?

THAT IS HOW I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE CELIAC, WAS HAVING SUCH PAINS THAT I WAS SENT FOR A HEART STRESS TEST DOPLER TEST ETC. HEART CHECKED OUT OK AND THEN THE DID X-RAYS AND FOUND ALL THE GAS POCKETS. THEN OFF FOR A ENDOSCOPY AND BLOOD TEST. THOSE GAS POCKETS CAN REALLY GET YOUR ATTENTION AND DOES FEEL LIKE IT COULD BE THE HEART DEPENDING ON WHERE THE POCKETS OF GAS ARE AT THE TIME. MUST SAY THAT I AM NOT HAPPY AT ALL ABOUT HAVING CELIAC, BUT IN AWAY IT WAS A RELIEF THAT THIS WAS MY PROBLEM AND NOT MY HEART. HUSBAND HAD TRIPLE BY-PASS AND I WAS SCARED TO DEATH WHEN THEY STARTED DOING ALL THOSE HEART TEST REAL FAST.

I am going on my 11th year with this left side pain under my ribs. I have been gluten free for three weeks now and accidentally ingested it today and the left side pain came back with it. If you have not tired gluten free, it is worth a try to get rid of this pain

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      I feel your pain. Grain and gluten intolerant. Hang in there. This forum is very helpful

      By ElisaL · Posted

      IDK how common it is but it does happen. I'm celiac, allergic, and intolerant to the fiber in grains. (Fodmaps) So not only do I get sick from cross contamination, also gluten free wheat statch/fiber, and beauty products with wheat will get me. While I don't stop breathing the full body hives and short breath are not fun. Then once I make through that me and the bathroom become reacquaint. Sigh if I didn't feel so much better with the restrictions on my diet I'd feel sorry for myself. Least it makes for some good jokes about how the gremlin that lives in my gut really hates wheat.

      Ocd making gluten fears unmanageable. Need advice

      By Wends · Posted

      Hi Dora77. “Questions I Need Help With” “1. Is it realistically safe to eat food my mom cooks…” YES - you wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for your mother. Trust she still knows how to take the best care of you in her own way. Mishaps and cross contamination may happen - will happen on occasion, in fact - that’s life. But for the bulk of it as long as you’re aware of cc and try to avoid it for the most part, don’t sweat the small stuff! See the gluten free diet as a process. Own the process, Do Not let the process own you! “2. Do I need to worry about touching doorknobs, fridge handles, light switches, etc. that family members touched after eating gluten? What about public places like bus handles or...

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Unfortunately not going to be able to let you know how Amneal is working because I still have almost 3 month supply of Mylan.  Had annual appointment with endocrinologist last week (though get scripts for blood work more often) and since was on my last refill, she sent new script to pharmacist.  Staying on my Mylan until it's gone.  (I tend to build up a supply because after trying a couple of endocrinologists for my Hashimotos, one finally got my thyroid regulated by my taking only six days a week instead of adjusting the strength which had me constantly up and down.  Will be forever grateful to her.  Apparently high percentage of folks with Celiac also have Hashimotos so all this...

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By KimMS · Posted

      Thanks for sharing this! Have you started taking the Amneal? I'm curious how it's going for you. My pharmacy gave me the option of Accord, Macleod or Amneal. I didn't realize that Amneal was formerly Lannett, or I might have chosen that one. However, I did read some anecdotal reports that some people had side effects with Amneal, so I chose Accord. I have been taking it for 3-4 weeks and the past 10 days I have developed extreme fatigue/sluggishness, joint pain and some brain fog. I don't know if it is the new levo med, but nothing else has changed. Has anyone else taken Accord levo? Any issues? It seems to fall into the "no gluten ingredients, but we...
