STOMACH PAIN ON EMPTY


ANDREAHUNTER

Recommended Posts

ANDREAHUNTER Newbie

I have been gluten-free for almost 2 years now, diagnosed celiac back in 2018. I notice that most of the time when i haven't eaten in hours, i get a pain in my and on the right side right under where my ribs end. a lot of people online say it could be the gallbladder, but I had my gallbladder us about 2 years ago and it was normal. Is there anything else that could be causing this? It's the same place/type of pain I feel when I've been glutened, but it'll have been hours where nothing has gone po. anyone have any other ideas?

Welcome to the forum. Note that I converted your post to lower case for all capital letters, as all caps is widely considered on the Internet to be yelling. I recommend all lower case instead.

I will assume that you are not accidentally eating gluten, which could cause this, but since it happens on an empty stomach it makes me wonder if it could be an ulcer, or bacterial overgrowth. I would definitely check in with your doctor to rule out some things. It may be time to get a scope done. 

You may also want to rule out other dietary intolerance issues by keeping a food diary to see if there is a link to certain foods you eat.

I also support Admin's thoughts. I know food intolerances can cause in pain my stomach and gi tract as well.

Welcome to the forum and best wishes.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thank you this really helped.

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—

      @GlorietaKaro, your respiratory reactions to gluten make me wonder if there might also be an allergic (anaphylaxis) component at work here.
