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.

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies.  IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells.   Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy.  Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine?  Were you given a Marsh score? Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting!  The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Welcome to the forum, @Kara S! Warrior bread is a grain free bread product. Google it. There are commercial mixes available, I believe, Youtube videos and many recipes.
