Once in a while, and for me it is typically if I eat certain foods that give me issues, like chicken eggs. Before I was diagnosed the primary area I had pain was in my right side.

The usual thing to do is to re-check your diet and be sure it's 100% gluten-free. This article indicates that 90% of those on GF diets are still getting contamination:

Besides checking your diet (consider trialing the Fasano gluten-free Diet), you might want to get your celiac antibodies re-checked.  This can help determine if gluten is the culprit.  

I thought for sure Gluten was getting into my diet (I did trial the Fasano diet), but a repeat endoscopy revealed a healed small intestine.  However,  I was diagnosed with Autoimmune Gastritis.  You can develop more than one  autoimmune disorder.

Your pancreas and spleen are in the ULQ.  Some Celiacs have problems with their pancreas.  

And the descending colon starts over there, too.  I have had diverticulitis and that's where my pain started, ULQ.

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can cause the intestinal tract to not work properly. 

Hope you feel better!

      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/
