Stabbing Pains?

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.

      Iron loss and potential celiac.

      Yes, it does. And joint pain is another celiac symptom that is now well-recognized.

      Does my iron loss sound like celiac to you?

      Being as how you are largely asymptomatic, I would certainly advise undertaking a gluten challenge in order to get formal testing for celiac disease. We have many forum participants who become violently ill when they undertake a gluten challenge and they therefore can't carry through with it. That doesn't seem to be the case with you. The reason I think it...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @ThomasA55! Before I give my opinion on your question about whether or not you should undergo a gluten challenge, I would like to know how you react when you get a good dose of gluten?

      Being as how you are largely asymptomatic, I would certainly advise undertaking a gluten challenge in order to get formal testing for celiac disease. We have many forum participants who become violently ill when they undertake a gluten challenge and they therefore can't carry through with it. That doesn't seem to be the case with you. The reason I think it is important for you to get tested is that many or most people who don't have a formal diagnosis find it difficult to be consistent with the gluten-free diet. They find ways to rationalize that their symptoms are due to something other than celiac disease . . . especially when it becomes socially limiting.  The other factor here is by being inconsistent with the gluten free diet, assuming you do have celiac disease, you are likely causing slow, incremental damage to your gut, even though you are largely asymptomatic. It can take years for that damage to get to the point where it results in spinoff health problems. Concerning genetic testing, it can't be used for diagnosis, at least not definitively. Somewhere between 30 and 40% of the general population will have one or both of the two genes known to be associated with the development of active celiac disease. Yet, only about 1% of the general population will develop active celiac disease. But the genetic testing can be used as a rule out for celiac disease if you don't have either gene. But even so, that doesn't eliminate the possibility of having NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @ThomasA55! Before I give my opinion on your question about whether or not you should undergo a gluten challenge, I would like to know how you react when you get a good dose of gluten? Are you largely asymptomatic or do you experience significant illness such as nausea and diarrhea? You mentioned intermittent joint pain before you began experimenting with a low gluten diet. Anything else?
