I have been getting pain over my appendix/bowel area scince January and now im starting to get worried.

The pain can last for weeks at a time, duting which it is constant and sharp. When it does go its only for a few days at the most. Ive seen my GP who said they were chasing up my peadi/GI.... but my next appointment isnt until July (we got the letter yesterday). I have a 10 mile sponsered walk coming up next week, so pain management help would also be helpful because at the moment exersise is agony. :(

Additional Details

im a 15 year old female

I have hypercalcemia

I used to have (and may still have) anemia.

I was asymptomatic for coeliac and was diagnosed on bloods (the biopsy was clear)

Any suggestions on what this could be are gratefully accepted.

Im sorry. But why on earth would you want to "mask this pain" so you can go on that walk? You will just further injure your body. Pain is your body's way of telling you to "slow down", "rest", "take it easy". Pushing yourself physically beyond what your body allows might give you a mental high, but it is destroying the vessel that carries your brain around......

i dont want to mask the pain.. i just need help to deal with it so i can get back to being the active person i once was.. ive had 3 years of sitting out in gym class and its getting a little frustrating, the walk is important to me because its to help cancer research UK and the childrens hosptal of Wales. Also its a vital part of the duke of ednibrugh award which i am taking part in.. i know i seem stupid for putting my body through this but im tired of letting pain stop me from joining in with my freinds ... sorry if that sounds stuborn or irrational but ive been brought up to not let illness keep me from living. Apart from the walk the pain is starting to effect my sleep so i cant concentrate in school.

And it has nothing to do with 'a mental high'

Hi, Your pain sounds like what I was going through until I stopped eating casine. Once I started gluten-free/cf diet the pain went away and my energy went up. Good luck!

Did you figure this out yet? I have seen this problem posted in several places on the net. For me it was my Ileo Cecum valve being stuck open. Oddly enough it can happen from too much ruffage or too little ruffage. Google the Ileo Cecum Valve and let me know if you think this might be the problem. Mine seems good for the last few weeks.

I've had pain to my right side for years off and on. When I went gluten free it was better until I started eating ground flax seeds in my baked goods. Then the pain returned. I got flax seed out of my diet as well as gluten and have had no pain since.

Some likely culprits: an oavarin cyst / food intolerances / colon disease --- /

some of those symptoms do sound like me.. i actually have a really bad cld at the moment and i was accused of "having an attitude" yesterday. Thanks for the suggestion

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped".

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood t...

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
