Stabbing Pains?

[lvpriest]

Hi all,

So I'm seeing the gastroenterologist on Wednesday to hear the results on 4 blood tests (1 for antibodies, 1 for celiacs and another 2 I can't remember) and I also did an ultrasoud and barium followthrough.

First off, with that combo of tests, what do you think he was looking for, other than gluten intolerance?

So, although I know I shouldn't in case he wants to do a biopsy, I've been gluten and dairy and soy free for the last 4 or 5 days, and tummy is still all over the place (poo every time I wee, floating greasy stools-are these symptoms of celiac?). Anyway tonight I was at dinner and we shared a bunch of stuff-I didn't eat cheese, or bread, but ate some fish pie. About 3 bites later my tummy started to cramp, pain. Bathroom 'explosion' in the pub toilet. Came home and had to run to the toilet for about 20 minutes with severe diarrhea.

I don't know if I was cross contaminated or if it was the dairy element, although I've never had such a quick reaction.

But my real question is right before I had to run to the bathroom I had shooting pains kind of from my lower abdomen into my upper thighs. I've had it before and felt it in other parts of my body. Is this a neuro symptom of celiac?

Any other advice grateully received!

I don't know if it was neuro related pain but I would think it had to do with the severe cramping. You mention eating 'fish pie' to me a pie has a crust, if it did it wasn't CC it was a full out glutening. We can't just eat the filling out of a pie or pick croutons out of a salad.

Also it takes time to heal, it is not an instant process so to still get ill during the first few weeks is normal.

It was a pie with mashed potato which is why I thought it would be ok...I guess there would have been milk in it though!

Okay like what I call Shepard's pie only with fish. Was there a 'gravy' in the pie? That could have been thickened with wheat. Of it could have just be CC if there was bread and other stuff that was being shared or if it was cooked in a not gluten free kitchen.
