Question About Pain And Bloating

The bloating I have is in my upper abdomen and I have pain all through my abdomen.

Does anyone have these symptoms get worse just before that time of the month?

And where is everyone else have bloating. is it in your upper or lower abd.

Also I have constipation one day a month, although I will have a bm several times a day, like 4 or 5. then the rest of the month I have that loose bm's about 5 times a day. and I haven't been eating much lately maybe once a day.

I have a doc appt on the 8th and will try to get him to test me.

I just wonder if the other doc is right and it is just IBS.

IBS is not a condition, it is simply a medical label for "bowel problems" because you wouldn't pay a doctor for a diagnosis of "someones got an upset tummy". Your gut issues do not sound minor, best of luck with a new doctor.

Bloating for me was kind of all around but mostly relegated to the lower sections while the pain is normally pronounced near my spleen (upper left side of intestinal area).

Thank you for saying that, it doesn't feel minor either. it feels like someone has beaten me with a baseball bat in my stomach over and over. it feels like it should be bloody bruised on the outside.

I am soooo tired of hurting and having D and now lots of undigested food in my stool.

i can get pain & bloating everywhere in my abdomen. and if bad enough- it radiates to the back muscles. i DO get pressure in my upper abdomen- but that's from a hiatal hernia (which is actually very common- something like 1 in 3 people have it). and YES- bloating gets worse during my period. but the longer i am gluten free & the more i take away some of the gluten-free processed foods, limit dairy & fructose- the better i feel- and the less my bloating is compounded during my monthly bloating. but nevertheless, like i did, you may also want to check with your gyno- to make sure everything is ok in that area.

but ya- the intestinal bloating can make your period even worse- it's just an extra load on your body, you know?

Was just wondering, My mom had her gall bladder taken out a few months ago and she said my bloating sounds just like hers did. I also have been having cramps in my whole abdomin just under my ribs and all the way down.

Didn't I see some posts that said that gall bladder problems are a symptom of celiac dz?

I have that same pain/bloating thing due to my period right now as well. I've been gluten free (as far as I know!) for just over two weeks, and it makes it hard to tell if this is from accidental glutening or just cramps! I guess we'll both know more in a few days. :unsure:

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that Dietician appointment. There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3
