Real Bad Stomach Pains

So I am on day 13 of being gluten free and last night was a terror. At around 2AM I started having these sharp shooting pains in my stomach, pretty much on my sides and the upper part. I eventually fell asleep and now I woke up about an hour ago and still have them. Anybody ever deal with this? Can I take Rolaids, Tums?

Do you thinks it's gas Tom? You can try some peppermint tea if it is. Or Peppermint Altoid mints. I've had plenty of pain all over my abdomen. Lots of times I think it is gas and pressure on irritated intestines. Enough gas trapped in the sotmach can cause pain too. The peppermint can help in getting gas out.

You are at the begining stages of adjusting to the diet. It might help to avoid all sugar for a while, and try a pro-biotic. Eat simple foods also, nothing processed or heavily spiced. Pepto Bismol can help with intestinal pain also.

Could it be your gallbladder? That sounds like the pains I had when I had a stone.

I don't think it's a stone.. I've never had pain before, I'm only 28 years old, I'm skinny and I've (more or less) eaten healthy all my life. It doesn't feel like gas, It's something else. Someone had asked if I had worked out in the last few days and I have. He mentioned it could be a result of the exercise and the pressure I put on my core. The good thing is it's not getting worse and slowly better.

Good to hear it is getting better Tom! Things can be sort of back and forth with this diet, and sometimes at the beginning it seems like progress is slow. If you continue to have pain you should talk to a doctor about it. It also might help to read up on elimination diets, if it goes on for a long time. And keep reading here, there is lots to learn on this site!

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
