Little Sharp Pains

[Ginger38]

Does anyone else suffer from sharp pains or twinges of sharp pain that just come and go in the stomach area?

Yes, and this was brought up so often that we even did an article on the topic! Here are some searches for past posts:

Yes, I routinely get sharp pains or twinges after eating, particularly in the area directly under my ribcage. I have IBS in addition to celiac and attribute these pains to the buildup of gas from digestion. The only things I've found that help are eating smaller quantities, following a strict gluten-free diet, avoiding foods that I know will trigger an IBS flare like high-FODMAPs, and keeping acid reflux under control...in other words, constant vigilance.

Yes. If I get cross contaminated badly enough I get them. Like sudden sharp stabs out of nowhere, in the bottom right quadrant of my stomach. Also had them when I was consuming gluten-free breads and pastas.
