Oh My Aching Belly!

Hubby was out of town this week, so I ate up the leftovers and then moved on to rice chex, soy milk, and orange juice exclusively for the past 3 days. Tonight, I fixed us a mashed potato dish with onions, green beans, lima beans, corn, and carrots. After 3 bites, my belly got sharp pains under my diaphram for 3 minutes. I don't even get belly pain from gluten, milk, or eggs which I'm either allergic to or intolerant of.

What do your other food intolerances feel like?

OK, here goes the next few bites. I'm still hungry for dinner.

I have a diagnosis of IBS, gastritis, and peripheral neuropathy, working on getting a celiac dx. With that said, i have three general types of 'belly pain" that I am still figuring out what causes them. I have the upper under rib cage sharp pain, like you described, which is often followed within 8 hrs by a weird burning nausea, not the throw up kind, but uncomfortable (caused by wine, sometimes eggs, coffee). I think that's mostly the gastritis flaring up. I also have a burning sensation between the ribs and the belly button going horizontally that's not my transverse colon (too high up) - that is the sensation I get when I eat gluten. I also have bloating, cramping, sometimes sharp pain lower down, right above the belly button all the way into the pelvis, which is IBS symptoms. which I get when i eat the wrong combo of foods, fruit with anything, and at this point, anything raw. Hope this helps!

Isn't that a lot of starch and sugar? I don't see any protein in what you ate. That would give me an upset stomach too and all sorts of other nasty problems.

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
