Did anyone else experience lower right-side pain of abdomen?

I have to note that there is no vomiting or fever or nausea, so this is likely not appendicitis. Just gas in that area when I put my hands on it, and pain which occurred before sleep and came back when I woke.  It has been twelve hours.

I am thinking it's cross contamination.  I was diagnosed with celiac disease a year ago. 

Also, with our symptoms it is kind of difficult to tell the difference between celiac disease and anything new developing.

I have other embarrassing questions which I shall keep to myself for now.

Pain in my lower-right side was a primary symptom of my celiac disease before I was diagnosed and went gluten-free:

After 11 years diagnosis and gluten free clear blood testing I developed sharp lower right abdomen pain 2 years ago. I thought it was either a kidney stone or appendix.  It was worse upon waking when the bladder is full. I had a sonogram clearing my theory. I then had Celiac blood testing, colonoscopy and a small GI pill camera. I found mine was a reaction to citric acid and ascorbic acid. I had started eating berries at that time. It seems to be a urinary tract reaction. It comes back if I have citrus fruit, berries and tomato sauce.

I could not eat tomatoes, corn, chicken eggs or dairy for several years after my diagnosis, as they triggered nearly the same symptoms. After I healed I could tolerate those again.

My niece has Crohn’s and is successfully being treated.  She recently had severe abdominal pain that landed her in the ER.  It was not a Crohn’s flare-up, but was a ruptured ovarian cyst.  You might want to see your doctor.  He or she can also run another celiac blood panel to see if your celiac disease is active.  I have done that a few times after a suspected gluten exposure because my symptoms were so different each time.  

Not everything is due to celiac disease.

Yes. After my cc and subsequent gluten challenge, I experienced  right abdominal pain.  I personally feel these symptoms were due to inflammation for me .  My liver/ gall bladder after my gluten challenge  for me did not seem to work properly for quite sometime based on my digestion issues.

If you are newly diagnosed or had unintended exposure you may find it is a symptom. As some of us do get this.

However it is best as cycling lady suggested to rule out other causes/issues.

Interesting! I get pain frequently on either the left or right side when I'm having general digestive issues. However, I get a distinct burning pain in my lower left side when I'm glutened.

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 🙂

Very interested in this topic. I have had lower right side pain for weeks (after a few too many Glutenbergs) and elevated lipase (3x normal). PCP thinks it’s not pancreatitis due to CT results & pain being atypical. They think it is related Celiac, whatever that means?

So, waiting on follow-up blood work and a CK test ordered to rule out “other muscle related” issues, which I shouldn’t have googled.

There are so many related issues and symptoms that I am glad for this forum as a resource.

      Luke warm bath (deep) with a handful of Epsom salts, and bath for about 20 minutes.  Be careful getting out of the bathtub, the magnesium (Epsom salts) can make you feel a bit woozy.  I've suffered from costochondritis, might be what you have?  I find rest very helpful, and avoid any foods that bloat you as this can put added pressure on the ribcage.

      Are you saying that celiac causes you rib pain?  Or that your ribs are fragile due to being celiac?  Or that the vitamins you take act as an analgesic, and that OTC pain-relievers do not work for you?  I don't understand the connection.

      I am so discouraged!  I would rather not eat... or even eat junk (with the expected result)... than cook!  I have been gluten-free (hah) since 2016.  But my husband eats tons of bread, biscuits, cake, muffins... you name it.  Everything on the SCD that's illegal, he eats.  And buys it and brings it home, many times in trying to please me!  Please don't suggest we have a heart-to-heart talk;  been there, done that.  He truly is unable to change.  ONE reason is that culturally, we are opposites.  Another reason is that he is in his 80's and isn't about to do something he doesn't want to.  If I don't cook for him, his nutrition would be less than poor. My mental state is going from bad to worse.  He is also declining mentally (memory, reasoning) and physically, and that makes me want to cry all the time; that, or be angry. My celiac symptoms are not completely resolved, just somewhat better. I have just read the book re SCD, wish I could try that diet (cause it promises a cure) but the learning/implementing curve is more than I can handle if I have to cook the way they say is necessary. I live in an area with poor medical help; I tried the (only) dietitian listed in my area who is celiac knowledge certified, but she doesn't accept my insurance.  I'm on my own. I am hypothyroid, and on HRT.  Cannot tolerate Buspirone; anti-depressives are ineffective due to gene mutations (I've been tested). Can anyone help?  Or not....

      Im not being heard by my previous doctor I had for 25 years. I switched in May of this year.I was half told of my celiac disease in 1994 and to stay away from wheat and Ill be just fine.Im not.Was on tramadel from I think 2006 til 2023.In 2007 still gluten-free had blood test and showed other food allergies. I have been avoiding and reading labels so I don't get sick.Im 54 years old, my right eye feels as if pressure ( seeing eye specialist) saw dermatologist and had skin graph was told ulcers but since I was disregarded of my celiac disease and it was previous doctor who sent me to dermatologist, its now " undetermined ".I pushed for the first and second ANA panel and negative. I had my 5th colonoscopy July 9 this year and colon looks great, BECAUSE IM gluten-free for 31 YEARS.Waiting on biopsy.My only celiac proof on medical was 2014 that i physically have, i don't have original. How do I get my new doctor to understand the severity of pain Im dealing with, daily flare ups.Exhausted and allergic to everything. Menopause has intensified, i feel but then again I had my 3rd covid in March 2023 and I can't bounce back.Pain down left leg always in the bathroom when I barely eat.Its affecting my life and frustrated with doctors not knowing.To be far my new doctor is having me see two specialist but how do I get him to understand its my false negative celiac disease????
