Where Is The Pain?

Hello all,

It's me again and I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong with me. I see many people talking about pain in the stomach and abdominal regions, but I'm curious as to where specifically and what exactly does or did it feel like.

I've been getting off and on pains near the right side of my belly button and then sometimes on my lower left side, where I'm assuming the digestive tract is. Sometimes at night when I put my hands on my stomach area I can literally feel different areas bloating up.

Thanks for the responses!

I am not diagnosed yet but the only pain I usually feel is gas pain or from my gallbladder which is upper right abdominal.

I'm just so confused with this pain that I'm feeling. Now it's like a know that goes from the right side of my belly button to about three more inches on the right. And still after trying to watch what I ate today, I'm still feeling terribly bloated. :(

Maybe the picture on the right top of this link will help. It shows the locations of various innards.

I used to have pain in my abdomen to the left of my belly button and a little lower. Also had more general pain throughout the abdomen. It could take a while for your pain to go away. It may go away faster if you stay with a simple whole foods diet for 6 months or so. Avoiding sugars, starches, dairy, soy, alcohol, and processed foods may help. And taking pro-biotics and digestive enzymes can help also.

Thank a lot! I actually went to the grocery store and was happy to find gluten free products such as soy sauce and dressings that I didn't know companies make! Today I feel slightly better but I'm still a little weary.

      My 5 months of Struggle

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Art Maltman! Ask your physician to order serum antibody tests specifically designed to detect celiac disease. That's the place to start but you shouldn't be on a gluten free diet some weeks before the blood draw. You certainly have some symptoms that are characteristic of celiac disease and you have a first degree relative that has celiac disease. So, I think this would be an appropriate request to bring to your physician. Here is an article outlining the various serum antibody tests that can be ordered when checking for celiac disease:   The physician may not be open to ordering a full panel but push for at least these two: total IGA and tTG-IGA. By the way, absence of gut pain is very common in the celiac population. We call them "silent" celiacs as they have no or very minor symptoms. There are over 200 symptoms and spinoff health issues that have become associated with celiac disease and the range of symptoms and effects produced by the disease in different individuals various tremendously.

      About 5 Months ago I got a little bit sick and since then I have been having trouble focusing, rembering, thinking thought through, having pressure on my head and even just talking to friends normaly has become a challange. I also have been having yellowish poops. My father was has celiac but I am not sure if thats what is causeing my problems becasue I dont have any abdomnial pain like him. i have also tried going gluten free for a week with no results, but maybe i just need to try for longer. I have gone to doctors but they haven't had really any ideas as to whats wrong with me they just say it could be anything and try this drug maybe it will work. I really am tired of feeling terrible all the time and if any one knows if these symptoms are common to celiac or has any other ideas whats wrong with me please let me know.
