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.

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thank you this really helped.

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.
