So, it's after midnight and I'm still up with a belly ache reminiscent of my 20's.

It's like my stomach is a hard knot and is knotted into a painful ball.

It hit outta nowhere. Just cooking dinner, happy as could be and wham!

I don't know what did it, but wish I knew. I suspect pms. Don't laugh!

I keep having bm's but no D (and I didn't have C).

If it isn't pms then it's gluten and I soooooo hope it isn't gluten. And this time no minty stuff so I can't blame that.

Unless I have another intolerance - but it's awfully funny how I get one day of stomach upset around the same week each month since January. And as far as pms goes, this is enough to make a saint homicidal. This is pain on the labor pain level. This is go-to-sleep and hope its gone when you wake up kind of pain.

I wonder if it's acid? Pms triggering an acid attack???

Ugh.

I don't know what it is but stomach tied in a knot sounds like pms to me. It usually comes with lower back/ side pain :-( I also got my period yesterday and have spent my morning lying on my back.

Can't you take any painkillers?

I think, after going an entire night with it, that it's acid.

I don't know why....

I've learned not to take anything if my stomach is acidic - except maybe an antacid which was nowhere to be found at 12 am... I haven't taken one in years.

I'm wiped out. I slept a little but YUCK. I can't believe I used to function like this. Although, I was better at sleeping it off back then and I had gotten quite good at very fast visualization to make the acid stop. Evidently I've lost that skill...

Still no period but I have had some fabulous cramps. Yay?

I still wonder if I got into gluten and that was a reaction. Hubs drank a beer, brushed his teeth, and then we kissed. I've never had a problem before but this time there wasn't any lapse between the beer/brush/kiss. Don't think we've ever cut it that close before.

Unfortunately I did try a new food yesterday, but I've eaten their products before without problem. I did get a haircut yesterday, and I always run the risk of getting into topical stuff there.... I guess I'll never know.

I still think its pms. Yuck.

As part of the mentral cycle a small cyst on the ovary bursts and sends an egg down the fallopian tube. Sometimes the cyst has grown bigger than it should, or can cause pain when it bursts. It might be that? With such a sudden onset, and due to the location, and that it's happening around the same time each month that would be my guess.

I hope it isn't gluten too!

I know what you're talking about (because I've felt it and thought I had appendicitis) but this is definitely my stomach! :). Way up right under the v of my ribs.

I do think it's linked to my cycle. This is the first time I've had acid, though. The past few months it's just been horrid d - and I'd eaten something minty.

I have no idea, really. Sigh.

I feel hung over.

what are acid problems?

Sorry you're not feeling well, and that there are too many things to consider and can't figure out which :-(

Too much acid in my stomach. I used to have a terrible time with it when I was younger but it went away the last 10 years or so....

I think that is tbd. Generally, its in two different spots but I've been known to get some general nausea and d from pms.

I have belly cramps and uterine cramps. I'm lucky.

Sorry hun ;-( Hope it passes quickly. I sadly have the least experience about anything so don't have any input, and my sense of humor seems to have lost it's way recently. All I can do offer hugs. Would it help to just lie down? That's what I'm doing today. Let your family take care of you for the day!

Thank you Dani :).

I am feeling better. The burning finally stopped. I just ate and we'll see what happens. Going to the store for an antacid just in case :(

Effing Celiac. Effing hormones!

I had pressure/pain in that v spot below my rib cage when I had acid reflux. It made me feel so awful. Sometimes it felt like something was trying to burst its way out of my chest. I had this really bad when I would eat acidic foods (oranges, tomatoes etc) after going gluten free, and then again if I got glutened then I would be sensitive to it again for awhile. I hope you are feeling better again soon.

I think it was gluten. From necking with my hubs.

No more stomach cramps, but a little but if acid, then queasy.

Woke up at 2:30 am with weird cramps in my leg and foot.

So far I don't feel like I got caned or have neuro issues, or feel spacey so maybe it wasn't as bad as December. Shouldn't have been - it was beer breath after a tooth brushing - not a plate if noodles.

Ugh.

Missed this thread until now. So sorry you're feeling ????? something. Glad it appears to be somewhat better & hope that will continue to be the trend.

Echo:

F*&^ing celiac ---- have to put a timer on time lapsed between brushing teeth & necking. Sheesh!

Will we have to worry if they burp while kissing us? Gluten gas transference?laugh.giflaugh.giflaugh.gif GGT for short.laugh.giflaugh.giflaugh.gif

:( I'm sorry that you aren't feeling better. Stupid gluten...

Fingers crossed that it passes quickly.

Get well soon sweetie!

But how can there be gluten in his mouth after brushing his teeth?

Maybe he didn't floss?

I am guessing that's what happened.

Think about it, you never get everything out of your mouth when you brush. And he literally swigged the last gulp, brushed his teeth, and then we made out. No delay between.

We've never had this problem before but we've never cut it that close before. Always been a few hours later, at least.

Everything I ate was at home. I did eat a pizza from a gluten-free bakery but it's so safe it's silly. I won't use their name because I don't want people to think its that. I know it's not that.

I got a haircut but I checked everything they used and it's gluten-free and I've used it all before. Plus, I didn't get a rash on my scalp and I always get that if they use something with gluten in it by accident (gel, spray).

If its gluten (and I'm pretty sure it was ) it was the beery kiss.

It may also be hormones/pms. I don't know.

I kind of think it's both...I think the belly ache may be gluten and the pms may be cramps. Maybe it's worse from the estrogen cream (which I'll never use again) and the probable gluten. I dunno.

Every time I eat I get a full feeling that enzymes take away. Something is up with my stomach and it isn't burned from acid (I know what that feels like). My best guess is gluten.

And beer is Tge only gluten in the house :). Or was....

I have a friend who is so sensitive that if her husband eats gluten and then they kiss the next DAY she reacts, apparently small particles of everything you eat gets inside your salivary glands, so even though he'd brushed a few times by then, she got glutened. Yikes~!

      Medication

      By trents · Posted

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.

      Good day! New members here and I have a question about medication. My gastroenterologist made me stop some medication during the gluten challenge beforenthe screening test but I have a little surgery tomorrow and I need to know if I can use tylenol for half a day or if it will give me false results using it.   Thanks

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.
