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!

      Anyone Else Experiencing These Symptoms?

      By Mantooth · Posted

      Thanks for the kind words. It's hard to convince my doctor to investigate further because of a negative blood test and he only tested me for one marker. 🙃 I've come to the point where I need to take this into my own hands because the doctors are infuriating and it's not going anywhere. I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still consuming dairy and I think that's what's backing me up. Next week no dairy introduced.

      Hello mantooth nice to meet you it's so uncanny what you wrote you sound just like me even the back issues are exactly the same and I'm new here too trying to find out if I have the same had I too have been struggling to find answers with my docters I don't have a diagnosis but I've been struggling like forever and was told ibs and health aniexty was my problem but on researching I've come to the conclusion it's probably more because i cut gluten and lactose out for 6 months and  it was a incredible change for me so although I can't help with diagnosis I can say your not alone in trying  to find answers 😊

      How to keep water down?

      By trents · Posted

      Prolonged dehydration can cause kidney damage. How long has this been going on? Are you have diarrhea also? That's what the dyclomine is for I think.
