I seem to have upper right tenderness when i bloat, but not any where else. It is right below my ribcage on the middle/right side. I think it is possible inflammation in my Duodenum. Does anyone else get this. Shouldnt the inflammation in my duodenum go down (this was where my doctor took a biopsy 7 months ago and diagnosed me with celiac. It makes it hard to breath at times. Anyone relate, could this be some other issue. It seems to swell up a little off and on throughout the day.

have you had your gallbladder and pancraese (okay I just totaly botched the spelling of that, i'm having a senior moment here) checked? that is typically where the gallbaldder is located. i had a gallbladder attack late last year before being dx'ed- ugh. worse pain of my life!

yep, sounds like the gall bladder.

You might want to try going grain and dairy free for a bit...

I agree, it sounds like a gallbladder issue. I actually had mine removed two years before I was even tested for celiac disease. I had intense pain in my upper right quadrant, (under the ribcage). Since I wasn't the "typical" patient for a gallbladder issue, I suffered for about a month before they would finally listen to me. Turns out I did have a problem with my gb....I didn't work at all! I was 21 at the time and very thin so I didn't fit the stereotypical gallstone patient, but they ended up giving me some test that monitors the flow of the gb and realized that I didn't work at all. I truly believe that if they would have tested me for celiac disease first I would still have my gallbladder. My mother has also had the same symptoms....intense pain on the right side, under the rib cage. She had her gb removed a year before me. Nothing helps the pain, (I was on Morphine in the ER for 2 days and it didn't touch that spot!) Good luck...I hope this helps!

It is not painful at all, just tender to the touch when bloated.

I'm having the same trouble but on the left side. I had a ultra-sound done two days ago but everything looked normal, my doctor said. It doesn't feel normal, so I'm frustrated. I do know I have a hiatal hernia, so maybe that's it. You may want to try the symptom checker on Web MD . . . that might help you scope out the possibilities.

I hope you feel better soon.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
