Right Upper Quadrant Pain

I haven't posted in a while...but I hope someone can you me some information. For about 3 days, I have been having right upper quadrant pain. It runs along the rib cage starting about 2 inches about belly button and down to bottom of rib cage on right side. The pain hurts underneath the rib cage also and seems to travel around to the back. It feel like something pressing on my ribs and almost feels like a burning pain at times. Intermitently when having this pain, I feel like I have lower abdomen cramping. I also randomly feel like there is muscle twitching in this area at lower rib cage. I don't really have nausea. The pain is similar to the gallbladder pain I had years ago, however my gallbladder has been removed. I went on a weekend vacation this past weekend in New Orleans. Although, I thoroughly discussed my gluten intolerance and they assured the food was gluten free, I know I am at their mercy when dining out. Could this pain be from possibly ingesting gluten? Has anyone ever experienced this pain? It is really starting to get on my nerves because I don't know what is causing it.

It could also be lack of CCK in the small intestine due to atrophy. This will prevent gallbladder contraction and opening of the sphincter of oddi. It is a functional problem I am having treated with acupuncture at the moment. It will fix when your gut is healed, till then it is a matter of trying to encourage this process without the CCK. I tried herbs but am sensitive to most of them - but they did work. Dandelion Root, Turmeric, Peppermint are all good for this. Try to lie back slightly leaning over to your left side after eating, preferably with a warm tea with a cholagogue/choleretic in it... any of the above. I used 2-3 drops of Peppermint EO for a while but it is high in salicylates, which I am also sensitive to. Let me know if you want more info. on this.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Hi Florence- This forum has been a wealth of knowledge on supplements. I am always weary of brand names as well. What I found through Consumerlabs which independently tests for metals, digestive breakdown of supplements and if what the packages states is indeed what is in the product I have found the number one for super B complex is Kirkland and for multivitamin...

Reactions can range from Gut discomfort such as Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting...

      I have been diagnosed with Refractory Celiac disease Type 2.

      Hi Florence- This forum has been a wealth of knowledge on supplements. I am always weary of brand names as well. What I found through Consumerlabs which independently tests for metals, digestive breakdown of supplements and if what the packages states is indeed what is in the product I have found the number one for super B complex is Kirkland and for multivitamin for Men and woman 50+ Natures made multivitamin for her as it gives the right amount needed for both men and women as the mens has too much. For Probiotics ALign came out on top the 5x and the one for bloating. Knitty Kitty provided me good supplement brands as well.

      Gluten-Mimicking Proteins that can affect some Celiac individuals.

      Hi all: I have had Celiac for 47 years. I have not seen much info on the following, and 3 of these  affect me. In case this info helps someone else, I offer the following: Gluten-like proteins is a topic I want to share, as they have added bad reactions to my Celiac condition.  Reactions can range from Gut discomfort such as Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting, and inflammation causing a feeling of being very warm to hot. The following are considered  Gluten-Mimicking Proteins: Corn (Zein protein) (this causes inflammation with me). Millet Panicin protein) Sorghum (Kafirin protein).  Potato (Patatin protein, is NOT considered a Gluten-Mimic, nor is Oats (Avenin) but they do cause reactions in some Celiac people... I eat potato and I vomit, and get diarrhea. gluten-free Oats causes me to have Nausea, and Corn causes me  Inflammation.  I hope this helps someone.  Wishing the very best to all.   Florence.

It was my haematologist that checked more of my symptoms and came up with the result. So I am trying hard to get some nutrition into my body. All of this info on supplements and nutritional diets is very helpful.  Regards Margaret.
