Why Sudden Gall Bladder Pain?

Hi everyone, I hope you can help.

I went off gluten on 2/15/07. Am avoiding dairy (except yogurt and a little cheese). Trying to eat well, low-fat.

Had 3-4 Lundberg soy chips this week on Tuesday, had a reaction to them (CC? Or just a reaction to soy? Not sure. Label said gluten-free).

Wednesday afternoon and evening had bad stomach pain, but not glutening type pain. I had an Amy's gluten free mac&Cheese for lunch and it had 15 grams of fat. (It was all I could find to eat that day.)

Wednesday night and Thursday morning in tremendous pain that is from, I think, my gallbladder. I've never had gall bladder pain before.

Do you think it's from the Lundberg chips or the fat in the mac&cheese? I was in such pain today, I haven't eaten and I'm so worried because I don't want to have to have my gall bladder out or miss work. I just started a new job so that is a complication. Since I haven't eaten the pain is down from an 8 on a 1-10 scale to about a 2.

I thought at least after giving up gluten I'd feel better (and I have, mostly) but this has really upset me.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Not much time so please excuse this being brief. Many of us avoid the Amy's products because of a high risk of crosscontamination. Eating them is like playing roulette. If you can try to stick to natural unprocessed foods as much as you can in your initial healing stages. I hope you get some relief soon, when I get this type of pain pepto bismal is the only thing that really helps, and it helps within an hour.

Just an added note here, I too feel this way, Wednesday night and Thursday morning in tremendous pain that is from, I think, my gallbladder when I eat soy products. Severe cramping and for me, it can last for days, or even come and go for weeks, so I never eat soy products, although I can handle soy lecithin, which many soy intolerant people can.

Some celiac's do have gall bladder problems too. My sister had to have her gall bladder removed after going gluten-free. If the pain continues, you should see your doctor just to rule out any problems.

OK, so I should avoid Amy's and soy. I am going to eat really natural foods and low-fat. My pain is much more of just a small ache today, hopefully going away for good.

I was sure that this was related to celiac, but not sure how.

Thanks.

I don't have any answers for you, but I thought I'd mention that at times, sporadically, I will also get these horrible pains, burning, just awful...and it has no real rhyme or reason although I am instinctively wary of eating a lot of things like chips (the fried aspect of them??), and I believe it has also been triggered by eating too much volume wise. I do best with small meals. But there is no one food that I could say "every time I eat this I have the pain." It's not like that....it's different foods at different times. I have also wondered if it could be related to my gall bladder....I don't know how you figure this out. I've read that the gall bladder is an organ that is often affected by gluten/celiac, and with that knowledge, I'm trying to be careful with everything.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
