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.

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
