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.

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

      Nausea

      The Happy Tart review

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my...

      The Happy Tart review

      You would think any business would see the wisdom of honoring a $50 gift certificate on the basis of customer satisfaction alone, apart from any questions about software glitches.

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
