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.

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      Pepsid alternative

      By milana · Posted

      Thank you very much for your response. Since I got this advice I called Pepsid manufacturer and they could not give a definite answer. Basically,  there is no final testing and they do not guarantee anything. So I went and got farmotidine from Wagmans that was marked gluten-free and also our pediatrician gave us a prescription for farmotidine that was also gluten-free. So there are other options there thankfully. In case someone will come across of this dilemma.

      Recently qualified Nutritionist looking for support

      By Diana Swales · Posted

      A nutritionist typically focuses on general wellness, lifestyle guidance, and preventative health. A dietician allowed to provide medical nutrition therapy. When i was diagnosed there was zero support and few dieticians and Dr understood celiac disease.  I typically guide a newly diagnosed celiac to a whole food diet to easily transition to the gluten free lifestyle

      gluten-free self diagnosed journey so far as well as what triggers. Eye crying like peeling onions?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your gluten-free journey sounds like a lot of trial and error—especially working in a deli where gluten exposure is constant! The eye-watering issue could be an airborne gluten sensitivity (like flour dust irritating your eyes) or even a mild wheat allergy, since you’re around it daily. A daily antihistamine (like Claritin or Zyrtec) might help if it’s allergy-related, but avoiding airborne gluten as much as possible (masking, washing hands/face often) is key. It’s great you’re tracking triggers—high-fiber foods and certain gluten-free substitutes (like those tortillas or PB pretzels) can sometimes cause similar symptoms due to additives or digestive adjustments. For travel, pack safe snacks (protein bars, nuts) and research gluten-free translation cards for Aruba. On flights, opt for packaged gluten-free meals or eat beforehand. Many gluten-free foods and baking mixes contain xanthan gum or other gums like guar gum. Although they are both gluten-free, they may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:   You’re doing all the right prep—trust your research and enjoy your trips!

      Glutened from hair conditioner- check your body products and makeup !

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s scary how hidden gluten can be—even in non-food products like hair care! Your experience is a great reminder that topical products with gluten can cause systemic reactions in some people with celiac disease, especially if they’re accidentally ingested (like when shampoo runs down your face). While not everyone reacts to external exposure, your symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, and GI issues—clearly show your sensitivity. It’s frustrating that companies aren’t required to label “gluten-free” on cosmetics, so ingredient checks are a must. Don’t feel stupid; many of us learn this the hard way! Thanks for sharing your story—it’s a wake-up call for others to scrutinize everything, from lotions to makeup. Hope you’re feeling better now that you’ve ditched the culprit!
