Where Does It Hurt?

I'm curious about everyone's stomach symptoms, if you have them, and where it hurts.

I won't tell you mine, until later, because I don't want to influence your answers. But if

you could tell me where your stomach hurts and exactly how it hurts, (ache, stabbing pains etc...)

I'd be very much interested.

Stomach: more 'nervous' or 'tight', sometimes so hungry I think I'll throw up, wake up feeling ookily.

Abdomen: bloated beyond belief, pressure pain, often stabbing pain in one or another part, pain from bloating to where I can't stand up straight.

But most of that is gone now.

Ok, my pain moves around. Sometimes it's up high at the base of my rib cage on the right side.

Sometimes it's down low on the right, where you'd think your appendix would hurt. It's usually a stabbing or cramping type pain. Sometimes it feels like it's my stomach that hurts. Sometimes I feel like it's much lower than that...

SEVERE bloating, cramping in lower abdomen, gurgling noises & feelings -- fluttering feeling almost in what must be my lower intestines, gas (blah), bathroom visits either 3 times a day or not for days....

FUN STUFF!

Wow, I could have written that. My lower abdomen always feels like there is a way-too-small elastic band around it. My stomach/intestines gurgle constantly, and I'm always SO darn hungry! 75% of the time, it's extreme discomfort. The rest of the time, it's just pure pain.

I get severe bloating (to the point where I can't wear my pants), and cramping like no tomorrow.

It runs from the front to the back and feels like I'm in labour (only 10 times worse).

Sometimes it's so bad I feel like I'm going to be sick to my stomach from the pain.

The pain often runs up my back (that's probably muscle spasms).

It's usually accompanied shortly after with sever diarrhea

The whole process usually starts about 20 mintues after ingesting gluten (are really problem if I'm out).

It's usually accomapnied with sweats and shaking as well (again probably muscle spasms).

Never a happy experience. I usually come away so exhaused I have to lie down.

Good luck with your 'survey'?

OH my gosh!!! I was actually going to say that if often feels like I'm "in labor" -- I've had 3 children, and sometimes...the pain from the bloating/gas issues are as bad if not worse than early labor!!!! BLECH!

Hi Jerry. Hope that I can help. I started having pain in the area around my belly button and lower. It wasn't sharp but it felt like I did 1,000 sit-ups the day before. Just very tense and deep pain.

Hi Jerry,

I am VERY new to all this but, have you had a Cat Scan of your Gall bladder? Being located in the area in which you discribe "On the right below your rib cage" just makes me wonder?? I just had to have mine removed, and had NO IDEA as to it's location, and was having pain, in the area you have indicated and also between my shoulder blades..It was loaded with stones and hard as a rock and not functioning...Just a thought?? Who knows??

Good luck to you at seeking answers.

Netty

I describe my pain as if someone has been hitting me in the stomache, so it's more of an ache than a sharp pain and it's ALWAYS accompanied by severe bloat and the bloat is above the waiste.

Anyone have a tenderness (pain when you press on it) kind of pain?

Yes, I sure do. That's part of the reason why I describe it as if someone has punched me.

      Low iron and vitamin d

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.
