Mucus in stool, pain right hand side

I’ve recently been diagnosed with celiac disease and have been suffering with a sharp pain under my ribs and in my back, I have also had a lot of orange mucus in my stools.

My question is would this be caused by the disease or is this something like mucus from the gallbladder? I haven’t started a gluten free diet as I have only just been diagnosed and I am awaiting a camera down the throat.

Many thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum, Burted!

Which side is the rib and back pain on?

Both sides I’m having pain, gets a lot worse on the right hand side. Also feeling pain in my back which comes and goes

Mucous in stools is a classic symptom of celiac disease, indicating fat in the diet is not being digested. But the orange tint is a concern. The pain in your back could be many things. You may find some answers once you go gluten free and eliminate that variable.

Thank you, once I go gluten free if it still continues I will seek doctors advice

Go to the three horizontal dots in the upper right corner of any new post window if you want to attach pics to a post. However, there is a fairly brief time window to do that (or any other editing of a post) so have the pic ready and know where it is. Once the time window is closed, you would need to create a new post to attach a pic.

You say you have already been diagnosed with celiac disease. Was that done through both the antibody blood test and endoscopy with biopsy or just the antibody test? I'm just wondering why you are having the pill camera done now.

It was through bloods that’s why they want to do the enderscopy to confirm

Okay, I interpreted the "camera down the throat" to refer to swallowing a camera pill but I see that was my assumption. It's just a regular endoscopy you were referring to.

Yea I think they want to take samples, I’ve been told not to go gluten free until I have had it done as it can mess with the results

Yes, they instructed you correctly. How long before the endoscopy/biopsy?

Fab, I’m unsure at the moment waiting on a letter to confirm, could be months yet

Do you have the numerical value of the blood antibody test along with the reference range for positive vs. negative? Could you post it? Are you in the UK by any chance? I ask that because the far out there scheduling of the endoscopy/biopsy sounds typical of what our UK members report.

I don’t unfortunately, yes I’m in the uk, doctor has asked for it to be fished due to my symptoms so hopefully won’t be too long before I have it done

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
