Oh my I hope that this excrutiating pain in my stomach is related to the celiac, because this morning it is almost worthy of an emerg visit! Im hoping that with this diet it will go away! I havn't eaten anything at all yet today and the pain is intense! This has been my main symptom that Im ASSUMING is related to the celiac, after all now with a diagnosis the docs blame everything on the intolerance.... :(

Is the pain localized to any specific area? What does the pain feel like? Shards of glass, burning...?

I would think not eating would make the pain worse. Can't you hey anything down? Liquids?

Sorry you are in so much pain, and I hope it improves quickly.

This pain is an all over abdominal pain...Like a continuous cramp, one that is persistant and dosn't come and go it just stays....Im going to eat a piece of my gluten-free bread that I made last night, see if that helps...maybe this isn't even the ciliac!? This has been going on for over 14 years, but it used to be very sporadic, and lasted for the most 2 hours, in the last two months it has come usually more then once a week, and usually accompanied by bloody stool (hence the investigation into the celiac) no blood yet...and it now lasts sometimes for 24 hours....Now they just blame it on the celiac. I also have problems with my kidneys that they refuse to deal with...I just wish that it would go away, Im tired of being in pain.

Thank you all for your support, this really is a wonderful board!

My GI doctor says that kidney issues (stones or otherwise) can be caused by Crohn's. The blood and cramping (in bouts), too... how were you dx'd with Celiac?

I was diagnosed with ciliac via bloodwork (that was the cincher) and a scope/colonoscopy report. Im so angry I could spit!!!! I just called my doc for the urine results, and the one I gave the day of was clear, the one I took the night before and refrigerated had significant bacteria growth and significant crystal growth...you know what they told me???? Guess....its because of the ciliac!!!!! They said so what do you want to do?? REALLY??? OMG, I am going there at 2:30 and Im going to kick some knee caps in....Im so done with this. I told them that the pain in my kidneys is NOT the same as the abdominal pain that has been plaguing me with the ciliac (assuming its related). So done....can't get anywhere...if I don't need AD now, I will shortly! :angry:

Sorry you have bad pain :( You mention kidney pain / problems . Have the doctors checked for kidney stones ? They can cause very bad stomach pains and can be connected to celiac disease . Hope you get better soon :)

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
