Pain In Lower Abdomen That Will Not Go Away! Almost Like A Feeling Of Pressure Or Fullness?

Hi Everyone!

Have not posted for a while as i forgot my password :(

But last time i was here some of you provided me with some fantastic information.

Im still pre diagnosis after many problems with my doctor, however in the end he agreed to test me and i should have results soon!

However recently ive been getting a pain in my lower left abdomen, low down sort of between my belly button and hip bone.

Its not incredibly painful but more annoying as its so persistent, i cant even explain it that well except to say it feels like their is a lot of pressure or im very full up.

Its worse when i stand and walk and worse after ive eaten. The only thing i can liken it to is period pain, except its not period pain.

any ideas??

Id really appreciate your help

I get the same thing in the exact spot and I have no idea what's causing it. It doesn't hurt and the only way I can desribe it is as a pressure feeling. I don't have it all the time but enough that it can be annoying. I'm with you, I'm wondering why this is happening and if there's a way to stop it from happening.

I'm so glad I'm not alone!

I'm really wondering what it is.

Everyone kept saying it was trapped wind but after a month of feeling it on and off I'm pretty certain it can't be wind.

I know stomach pains are a symptom of celiac disease but I wouldn't really describe this as stomach pain, it's not in the right place.

It is also sometimes comes with a noisy gurgling tummy. And more recently a feeling if liquid sloshing in my tummy. Again I don't really know how to explain this feeling except feeling like a hot water bottle lol with liquid sloshing in my stomach when I move.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
