You are basically describing me when I am glutened. Especially the pain and swelling right above my belly button. Gas, bloating, general not feeling well, joint pains. I don't normally get the acid thing but can get the burning in my gut right when I eating but only when I accidently get glutened. Hope this helps.

Me too. This sounds like intense gas or bloating along with heartburn/reflux. I have this all the time. I'm sorry. It's no fun at all.

This precise symptom is exactly how I became diagnosed with Celiac. The pain/pressure/burning feeling I had directly below my sternum was caused by gastritis. I have this daily -- especially at night and right before bed. My gastritis is celiac induced, so after I got glutened (only once so far since going gluten-free) it flared back up. I too experience bloating in the upper region of my abdomen (not so much the lower). All in all, your symptoms do not sound odd or unrelated to me. Have you had an endoscopy recently? That is how the gastritis and the celiac were found for me.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.
