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.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
