Gallbladder Symptoms And Menstrual Cycle


Momto2Boys

Recommended Posts

Momto2Boys Rookie

Hi everyone! I'm new here. I was recently diagnosed (questionable - I have a long post in post-diagnosis forum) with Celiac's. My MAIN symptoms are gallbladder pain/spasms during my period (usually starts the second day of my period or maybe that's when I notice it more because the menstrual cramps aren't as bad??) As I type this I am on my second day of my period and both my menstrual cramps and gallbladder are hurting - OUCH! I'm supposed to have an abdominal and pelvic ultrasound on Tuesday at GYN office (my best guess as to when my period was going to be when I scheduled my appt - of course I started a bit early and am having my symptoms now and it's Sunday so doctor's office not open. May try to get in tomorrow. They wanted to do it when I was in pain).

Anyway, anyone else have this? I'm starting to think I may have endometriosis now too (GYN thought it was more rare to have it all the way up in the gallbladder)? I hope not. I went from healthy to all of this crap (started in January). I'm still in partial denial. Will try to get in with GI doc who is supposed to be good and specializes in Celiac's to help with diagnosis etc.

Thanks!

It sounds like you may have an ovarian cyst to me, which will be detectable in the ultrasound. I've had one and the pain intensifies during that time of the month and the pain travels and is hard to detect the exact source of it. My friend also had the same thing recently and thought she was having appendicitis.

Hi, I was just wondering if you ever found out what was causing the pain. I am having the same problems and I'm just trying to search for answers fast because as you know

It is painful to deal with.

Thank you, Aw

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
