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.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
