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

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.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
