Feels Like Someone's Stabbing My Stomach...

After being Dxed with Celiac, it's like bloody murder to do sit ups. My stomach feels like it's going to burst, it is so tender. I dread my two days of PT at school and most of the time I just do two sets of fifty push ups instead of doing sit ups because I'm lucky if I can get twenty in most of the time within a minute. Does anyone have any advice to get rid of this pain?

I experienced a similar situation on occasion after going gluten-free. I traced it to dehydration. Drinking the recommended amount of water per day eliminates the problem. When it does happen, I can always look back over the previous 24 hours and see that my liguid intake was low. At that point, drinking a glass or two of warm water (heated in the microwave rather than from the tap) eliminates the problem, albeit after 1-2 hours.

This is just a shot in the dark but it might be worth a try.

It all depends on how long you have been gluten free. When your small intestines are inflamed, you, or I have gotten those stabbings pains. I attribute that to intestinal inflamation.It will subside your get adjusted to the diet. and gluten is removed. Hope that may also help.

      What apps or tech tools help you manage celiac disease?

      By Olenaideole · Posted

      Hey @trents, thanks! Yeah I’ve used Scan Gluten Free too at some point. It works, though like you said, those databases aren’t always super current. I also used Mitch (getmitch.app). But it’s not an app, just a simple web tool that reads the ingredient list and highlights hidden gluten, risky additives, and cross-contamination notes. But not bad for double-checking labels when things look suspicious.

      Lab results

      Thank you Scott, I appreciate your reply to my questions. I am definitely nervous about my neurology appointment tomorrow. I have kind of lost faith in physicians, I've had symptoms for 15 years and switched PCPs several times and I've just wondered if I'll ever have answers. I was sent to rheumatology first and that physician tried to tell me I wasnt having the symptoms I told him about and joked that all of us have memory problems as we age and that its normal to have white lesions at my age. I know its not normal (im an xray tech and use to do CT). My memory is definitely not the norm for a 44 year old. I have just had to fight, push, advocate, and research things myself. I sometimes feel like...

      Wheat Straw Dishes

      By SophiesMom · Posted

      I had already decided I won't buy wheat straw dishes. I'm concerned about eating at someone else's home, or possibly restaurants. I'm very careful to avoid wheat/gluten. My cat doesn't eat cat food with wheat or wheat gluten. I've been told that wheat grass is safe, but if I can avoid it why take a chance. The cat grass sold in "catnip" grow it yourself kits is wheat grass. Your cat will be happier with dried catnip, or catnip you grow from seeds. Strawberries: If I wash them in water will they be safe? Or should I use something more than water? I buy frozen strawberries; does freezing affect the possible gluten? Thank you for the info.

      Gluten-Free Pre-Workout & Recovery Foods – What’s Your Go-To?

      By KennaH · Posted

      Interesting topic. I am gluten-free for approx 2 years. Age 60+ with various related health issues related to late diagnosis of celiac disease. Diagnosed osteoporosis and muscle loss. After walking or playing golf, I ate coconut yogurt with collagen protein and whey protein. Whey protein for many amino acids. Bloating and severe abdominal pain. Same with collagen protein powder even though gluten and lactose free. I am suspect exposure through other subtle ingredients. Research on both whey and collagen powders is my focus as I need the benefits of post-workout food items.
