Rib Pain

Thanks to everyone who responded to my querry about foot pain. Now, how about rib pain? Not nearly as bad as my foot pain, just a general occasional pain in my lower right ribs. Sometimes the front, sometimes the side, sometimes toward the back. From what I've heard and read, it could perhaps be the gallbladder or just damage in the duodenum.

I have had this before too. Mine seems to coincide with other gas pains that I am having when I notice it. The other day I noticed it when I think I had some cross contamination issues with something that I ate. I was not feeling well for a good 24-36 hours and rib pain was part of it.

Sorry I am not more help as to why, but at least you know you aren't alone.

I had the rib pain. It went away after my gall bladder was removed. You need to have a doctor test you to see what it is.

I get rib pain. It is arthritic in nature and caused by ankylosing spondylitis. Usually it comes and goes in flares and hurts when I take a deep breath.

I've had rib pain, but it usually coincides with gall bladder attacks. I'm sure mine will come out in a few years. But I figure it's not dibilitating or keeping me from work, so I'll let it go. How bad is yours on 1 - 10 with 10 being the worst? That's the best way to gauge whether to see the dr about it or not.

This is a good question to ask yourself. Mine was a 10, very debilitating. You have to decide for yourself, then see a doctor. If it is AS, you will need to know that, so you can get treatment. Knowing is 90% of the battle!

My rib pain, I believe, is caused by my reflux. I get a lot of trapped gas right below my ribcage, and frequently it moves upwards and then I get it in the collarbone area.

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
