Im 3 1/2 weeks gluten-free. The burning I'm my stomach and under my right rib is finally gone but I'm still having some pain in my back (indigestion?). When can I expect to feel normal again? Ive heard 3 months and I've heard it may take an entire year? Anyone else have upper back pain from heartburn or indigestion?

Welcome! That's a good question that unfortunately there is no hard and fast answer to. At 3.5 weeks your body is still adjusting to gluten free, some people heal quicker than others, it depends on how long you have gone without diagnosis. Your body has to work to undo all of the damage incurred, and recovery can be a slow process, some say years. I,myself am over a year gluten-free and feeling pretty good but not quite there yet! I do wonder, given your right upper quadrant pain, do you still have your gallbladder? Those little suckers can be troublesome! Good luck to you!! :)

Thank you for your reply. I had my gallbladder removed many years ago and last time we checked liver and pancreas function were normal. I'm not sure what is in that area that could be bothering me. I'm seeing my doc today. Hopefully he can figure it out.

I had what you describe for several months maybe 6 mos after going gluten free. My guess is the throbbing pain in my right back was duodenitis? I never got an answer from any doctors about it but I assume inflammation in the intestine. For me it was very uncomfortable because I sleep on my right side and it felt like something was always "pulling" on my gut there.. and it went to the back.

3.5 weeks very very early in your healing process. I am 2 years out but first year was just long haul..... hang in there though it will get better. I assume you had endoscopy. Did you find out what level of celiac damage you had? ie marsh level I II III

I have been gluten-free since April and I am now having more good days than bad. I believe I was glutoned on vacation a couple weeks ago and have developed dh but the nausea and headaches are greatly improved and the brain fog seems to be lifting. Hang in there... I was disappointed when I wasn't seeing immediate improvements but I can now tell a marked change and hoping for even more in the next few months.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Okay, I got lost in the weeds here in this protracted thread. What are you taking omeprazole for? Your original thread had to do with dental, gum and thrush issues. Normally, a PPI is prescribed for people with GERD (acid reflux). How long have you been on omeprazole?

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Hi Charlie I also take omeprazole. It does help. I was diagnosed with fatty liver about 20 years ago. Didn’t pay any attention to it. Then 20 years later diagnosed with celiac disease that I probably had most of my life, looking back. Both of those things caused my liver to fail. I’m not a drinker. When I was diagnosed back in the states I had 30 d...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @Caligirl57 hi and thank you for the reply! I have had myself scared to death over this. I am still having pain but it's not as bad. I have always had bad teeth and gums @trents thank you, so omeprazole is the right thing to take?

      @Charlie1946 You are more than welcome. If you are struggling with mental health do consult with a medical professional and follow their advice if they think you need medication, as I did for a while, but I hope you will find these books as helpful as I did on the road to recovery.

      Hi Charlie  I also take omeprazole. It does help. I was diagnosed with fatty liver about 20 years ago. Didn’t pay any attention to it. Then 20 years later diagnosed with celiac disease that I probably had most of my life, looking back. Both of those things caused my liver to fail. I’m not a drinker. When I was diagnosed back in the states I had 30 days to live. After 3 weeks, in hospital I received a liver transplant. I was so sick I was there for 3 months. After that my kidneys went south. I was on dialysis for 8 months and on a kidney transplant list. When we received the call about an available kidney (4yrs) I was so excited! After the transplant the surgeon told my husband I had a 1 in 10 million chase for a kidney transplant as my antibodies were at 99%. Only 1 percent of the population was a match to me. I’m 1 year out from my kidney transplant and have so much energy and life left to live!  Please everyone, listen to your body and get medical advice. I wish I had sooner.   i hope this will inspire more people to Donate to Life.

      Curious if any other disregarded celiacs medically, not eating wheat and other foods im not to consume but yes its in the house because others have to eat. Currently dealing with eye issues, skin issues,blood and colon look fabulous because NOT consuming. Now im dealing with i may have ms or meningioma....Im also sibo positive, ibs which they think is the cause, " depression " which medical has caused me.Why is it so hard for medical to believe. I went to ER Dec 23 per pcp and got blood drawn sick as hell looking like a corpse bride with dark circles and pale skin.No surprise they said my blood is fine and I had to say thats not what im here for because im always told its fine when not, Ketones waked and then they said I have the flu, ya the flu 24/7 for years battling what the heck is going on.Doctors really need to listen, understand celiac which I've tried to school in past from what I've learned on these websites but it feels as if running in a useless circle. Im to take gabapentin 300. for a week and then go up to 600 since taking this and a other med that was prescribed no longer taking because it makes me awake.This one too is amping me up to not be sleepy when I am tired. Just curious if meningioma or ms is a link to core issue of celiac?I also saw the proclamation but confused because it states that California has two women?  Do I reach out to them? Ive already wrote to my local representative in Stanislaus County.Being celiac and dealing with a circus of clowns that didn't diagnose one doesn't make celiac go away and its not fair or right to us.Im angery, diagnosed by gi doctor by biopsy before foods eliminated from my diet, celiac sprue at the age of 23 in 1994.Now menopause has killed any tolerance i had and body affected badly.No one should go through the medical HELL ive been through.  Also positive HLA-DQ2
