Right Side Hardness?


Metoo

Recommended Posts

Metoo Enthusiast

I have a question, I don't know if this is normal or TMI....

But since going gluten free I have noticed I have this sensation of rolling hardness over my right side abdomenen. Its sort of uncomfortable, not painful.

As time has progressed now, it doesn't have the rolling sensation but it feels hard sometimes, when I lay on my stomach I can feel that area feels harder like a lump. Pressing on my stomach, it feels a little thicker on that side sometimes but not all the time, but its not sore or anything, and its not defined feeling (like I assume a cancer mass would feel).

The area it is a line from under my ribcage to just beside my belly button straight down.

I am a little freaked out as this is definitly something thats been new in the last few months. At first I thought it was in my head, but its definitly not.

I go to the doctor again in April, and I really don't want to go in unless I think something is wrong.

I do get this, i thought i was the only one on the planet :). I recently had that for the first time in 25? yrs. I used to get it all the time as a teenager and I noticed it several nights ago. I imagine it's an intestinal spasm? I never have any GI symptoms from gluten but maybe that is one and I didn't just know what it was! I've been gluten-free for 5 months, maybe I got glutened or something, I don't know... I don't worry about it too much as its not a constant thing..

It might be a hernia. They are pretty common amongst us.

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
