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

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By cristiana · Posted

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50. US 2024 - Increased Risk of Herpes Zoster Infection in Patients with Celiac Disease 50 Years Old and Older Sweden 2018 - Increased risk of herpes zoster in patients with coeliac disease - nationwide cohort study

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
