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 :)

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese. Sulfites cause a high histamine release. High histamine levels are found in migraine. Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet,...

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
