I'm 18 and was diagonased a little over 2 years ago and have been extremly strick with my gluten-free diet ever since. Last summer I had a case of pneumonia for about 2 weeks and got over that about 2 weeks later I got this super intense pain in my chest it was so bad that I couldn't move it covered my left side from about midribs to my neck, my mom called the doctor and they told me to take an antiacid and call back if it didn't help. well it didn't so my mom called back and she had me come in, the doctor examined me and said I probibly pulled a muscle in betwen my ribs and it would go away. they put me on pain kilers, tylonol with codine and then a stronger one and neither of them helped. this intense pain lasted about a month but i had to go back to school with in 2 weeks, so i powered through. I keep getting the same pain off and on to where it brings tears to breath and the pain is over within 1 or 2 minutes. has anyone else experienced anything like this if so i could really use some info because i my doctor doesn't believe me (looking for a new doc.)

thanks

nicole

It can be a pinched nerve in your spine, not muscle. Go to see good chiropractor. He should check your spine and correct it. It happened to me many times. The pain is unbearable and just very little movement would set it off. The pain pills wouldn't help much, if the nerve is still pinched.

Others may have different ideas, but to me it sounds like pinched nerve.

Sounds to me like Open Original Shared Link had it happen twice. Terrible. No association with Celiac Disease so far as I know.

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By RMJ · Posted

      Do you have any other results from either of the two labs where you’ve been tested recently?  If so, are the newest results from that lab elevated over previous results? It took me 5 years to get all of my antibodies into the normal range. Then 3 years later one went up into the positive range.  I realized that I had started baking with a different brand of gluten free flour.  When I stopped using that flour the level went back to normal.  Has something changed in your diet, environment, activities, medications or other areas where you could possibly be exposed to gluten?

      Thank you for the clarifcation, how can I get to the bottom of this as to why they may be elevated even on a super strict gluten-free diet?

      Symptom treatment of gluten exposure with Anti-inflammatories

      By Bronwyn W · Posted

      Hi, Please can I ask for opinions on using Anti-inflammatories for symptom treatment of inadvertent gluten exposure? Should it be part of a foundational treatment plan, upon inadvertent exposure? Kind Regards,  Bronwyn

      In testing for celiac disease total IgA is run just to be sure you’re not deficient (in which case the TTG IgA results would not be reliable). Different labs may have slightly different normal ranges, but the units are usually the same and the results can be compared.  In your case, what is meaningful for celiac disease is that you were not deficient in total IgA for either test. Different labs use different units for the TTG IgA test and there are no conversion factors to turn one into the other. In your case, the labs have another difference - one uses a weak positive category and one doesn’t.  The two results really can’t be compared. In each case you’re slightly into the full positive range for that test/lab so in reality your antibodies might not have jumped up at all between these two tests.
