Weird Question

Hi Everyone I am new here I have diagnosed with Celiac since February of 2011 and have been Gluten free since then. I am generally feeling better but have definately had some pit falls along the way. I still occasionally get Glutened every now and again (by accident of coarse). I was just wondering if any of you have experienced pain/discomfort in your abdomen on the left side by your bottom rib.It is really a dull ache that affects my left upper back as well. I have done a little research and it almost feels like solar plexus ache. I get this periodically it seems it goes hand in hand with either me getting Glutened or inhaling chemicals when I have been cleaning. (I think I am Chemically sensitive.) I also wondered if any of you know if there is any link with Celiac disease and the Celiac Plexus (one of the Solar plexus)Hopefully I didn't ramble too much! Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hmmm...I have never had that, but I remember Mom (who had caliac) used to complain of pain on her left side. Sorry I can't be of more help.

When I get glutened, I get intense left sided pain. It feels like it's on fire but it's much lower more like low left side bad cramps.

I am very sensitive to chemicals too. I think a lot of us here are.

I hope you feel better soon.

I have a very similar pain although mine is not quite at the bottom rib -- it is a couple of ribs higher! I've been gluten-free for 6 months and while it is slightly better it is still a major problem for me. At a minimum it is uncomfortable and at worst it is excrutiating. Nothing works to make it go away when it flares up -- at least no OTC pain reliever that I've tried. I've been trying to pinpoint what might be causing it to happen...I'm now starting to think it might be related to other food intolerances along with the gluten issue. Maybe...

I get pain under my rib but GI doc says its gastritis. I had an endo and all I was very worried.

      New to this diagnosis

      I thank all who have replied to my initial comment. After letting it sink in for a few days and since eliminating gluten I have to say I do feel some better so all is not lost. I have investigated and there are lots of gluten free choices I can make without giving up really anything. At some point I will attempt to make my own gluten free bread when I have...

      EGD with flatten mucosa

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests...

      Young celiac person looking for advice

      Hello, I’m only 20 and recently got diagnosed with celiac disease. I’ve been gluten free for around 2-3 months now but still feel miserable with bouts of gi symptoms that can come and go. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong since I’ve cut back on a lot of food and eat more Whole Foods alongside using my own plates and such to avoid possible sites of cross ...

      Refractory Coeliac Disease research to reduce anxiety

      Does this require proof of having refractory celiac? I’ve been gluten free for a couple months but still feel miserable but I’m not sure if its refractory celiac disease.

I have investigated and there are lots of gluten free choices I can make without giving up really anything. At some point I will attempt to make my own gluten free bread when I have nothing else to do and see how that works. I got to thinking even though annoying it's not the end of the world, this problem is manageable, and it can be a learning curve for sure. Maybe this is just another part of the aging process so I better get used to it. Thank you all again.

One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Hello, I’m only 20 and recently got diagnosed with celiac disease. I’ve been gluten free for around 2-3 months now but still feel miserable with bouts of gi symptoms that can come and go. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong since I’ve cut back on a lot of food and eat more Whole Foods alongside using my own plates and such to  avoid possible sites of cross continuation. Recently my gi symptoms seemed to have gotten better but now I’m having a tension headache and some bouts of anxiety which were characteristic of my state when I first started out in the gluten free diet. Am I doing something wrong for these symptoms to come and go randomly??? Or is this normal for the healing process to be so random. I’m scared that I might have unresponsive celiac or refractory even though it would be highly unlikely…
