Is this possible.

I had my GB taken out about 6 yrs ago when i was 21.

I had this weird feeling before my DX too last year, but after i went gluten-free it seemed to go away so i thought it was related to my diet, i guess not.

For the past month ive had this weird feeling on my right side, kind of a dull pressure almost feels like something is 'leaking' or 'oozing' inside me?!!? sometimes my back gets sore too and nausea. At first i thought it was because i was C, but even that went away, and i still have that feeling...

My doc sent me to get a CT scan last week to rule out appendisitis....and its not that. Im soooo confused!!! im going to see my GI friday, but im so upset and sad, i feel misrable half the time, and half the time i feel ok..... :(

Have they checked your liver? I have problems occasionally that seem to be my liver, but they never can quite figure it out. Most people have liver stones and just never know it until they cause problems. I had my GB out too about 7 years ago, and this liver related issue seems to have started right about the time I went gluten-free 3 years ago. Maybe I had it all along, but never noticed because of the issues I was having with gluten. Now my liver seems to act up when I get glutened. I ended up in the ER one night because of the pain and the only thing that showed up anywhere on all the test they did was elevated liver enzymes. Then 2 days later my GP said he thought my liver was possibly enlarged. A week or so later they did a liver ultrasound and the tech swore to me that they would see something if it had been a liver stone that got stuck. They didn't see anything, but after more than a week I question whether they would see anything...

Anyhow, a lot of celiacs have liver and gallbladder issues.

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
