I get left side pain, just under my rib cage. It happens within 30 minutes of eating gluten. Sometimes it is gone in a few hours, other times it stays for days or weeks. Before going gluten free, I had that pain for 9 months straight - ugh! In the past, I found that the pain would even travel across the middle of my stomach (along a line that is just under my rib cage) and then go towards my right side. Of course, my Dr. told me it was "just" irritable bowl and it would get better when my stress level went down.

I had pain in both sides of my stomach right under my ribcage off and on.My doctor had me do 2 tests for gallbladder before we knew about the gluten issue.It's gone for the most part. I feel a very slight twinge once tn a while....could be a gluten slip up. I did find out I have gallstones....they're probably just laying in wait with plans to attack me when I least expect it!

yes.......

I actually do have a very strong left side pain but I found out that it was from IBS and when I follow the diet that my doctor gave me about IBS the pain goes away.

In my case it has nothing to do with gluten.

I had that pain like Hell before going gluten free....It was before I knew of celiac....it was so scary since nothing would make it go away....now it only gets like that if I am glutened repeatedly. It was very unnerving for me though.

It is my lower left side. Although, last night, I had a ton of that plus center of stomach.

How about lower right side just to the right of your belly button? Constant aching that is always there and flares up and subsides constantly.

I'd like to know about this too. I have been strictly gluten-free for 4 years now but for the past 7 months off and on I have been getting a debilitating pain in my left side. At first it was down where your ovaries are then it traveled up higher to where your kidney would be and spread around my back. I still have no idea what's going on.

      Click on the image to make it larger.  Maybe doesn't work on phone browser,  That was from 2021. Absolutely, they should be tested, The point is you have symptoms that the doctors don't understand and malabsorption may be the cause.   Not trying to.  But much of your rant includes refeferences that may indicate multiple nutritional deficiencies.     Some countries also have tax incentives and financial aid for Celiacs.   Celiac disease is recognized as a disability under the ADA because it substantially limits major life activities like eating and digestive function. Protections require reasonable accommodations in public accommodations, including schools (504 plans), colleges, and hospitals. These often include providing safe, gluten-free food, though they do not force restaurants to provide it.  As far as your recovery, eat gluten free.  Get healthier now and worry about diagnosis later.  Many here on the forum have gone ten or more years looking for a diagnosis, with many doctors and many misdiagnosis along the way. It really doesn't matter why, but you cannot eat  gluten.  That is what is important.  With gluten out of the way, maybe the doctors can make sense of your remaining symptoms.  If you need the ADA, then a medical diagnosis is the way to go.  Meantime you are delaying your recovery from whichever celiac disease or NCGS and the inevitable step one of Gluten Free Diet. tWe come to share experiences and maybe it will help someone. In reality, I don't care.  By the way I have stopped 6 medications Against Medical Advice because they did not do their job and the side effects were crippling. This is a lifelong fight for your life.  Pick you battles carefully.  Assume the worst, celiac disease, and deal with it.  Denial is not just a river in Egypt. Pleased to meet you, too.
