Do you have someone with you or can you call someone? A lot of people here use a heating pad for comfort. Drink lots of water.

I'm just wondering if it's making your back hurt, too...and like you want to curl up in a small ball? I've been having a TON of lower left ab pain lately, too. I'm going to get tested in one month. A few months ago I had that pain, spread to my back. I thought I had an ovary cyst...ended up going in immediately. After the ultra sounds, NOTHING. Hmmm??? Celiac?

Gall stones usually attack right after dinner, and hurt like nothing else

A friend of mine had a perforated ulcer. It appeared to subside while resting, but increased with motion.

Whatever it is, I hope you feel better soon. And don't hesitate to seek medical advise if you feel the pain is getting worse.

I would eliminate the dairy for a little while. Also raw veggies can be very hard on a compromised system. For the first few months gluten-free a salad with lettuce would make me feel really awful. I hope you feel better soon and as much as we don't like to have other things taken away it may be needed until you heal a bit more.

It sounds like you needed some comfort food are there any other comfort food type things that you could choose, something like maybe a bowl of buckwheat cereal with cinnamon or a baked apple? I make gluten-free banana muffins and keep them in the freezer for those times when I just don't want to cook and need something warm and tasty.

If your pain continues or gets worse don't hesitiate to call your doctor, if you have a fever or are feeling nauseous or you start to get a cold sweat get to the ER. Severe left sided pain can be indicitive of diverticulitis which might need medical intervention. This would be particularly true if you had a colonoscope that showed diverticuli on the exam.

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
