I’m in a flare up with rib pain. I read where others have experienced this after exposure to gluten. Has anyone found something that eases the pain.

Scott Adams/Trents - Thanks! I will definitely do some more research. I welcome any and all advice.

Yes, I've read that online but I was just surprised that no one has mentioned it on this forum specifically. We have not had our follow up meeting with the Dr where I'm sure she will advise as to how he needs to deal with this ailment. I have learned from past health issues - if you want to find the REAL truth - talk to someone living with the disease. THEY will know way more than any doctor ever could. Thanks for responding.

While lymphocytic colitis (LC) isn’t as frequently discussed as other celiac-related conditions, research does show a connection between the two, likely due to shared autoimmune mechanisms. Some people with celiac do develop microscopic colitis (including lymphocytic or collagenous types), so your husband isn’t alone in this. The finding of dysplasia adds another layer of complexity, but the good news is that chromoendoscopy is a highly effective tool for detecting and monitoring precancerous changes—early intervention makes a big difference. Since his celiac went undiagnosed for so long, it’s possible the prolonged inflammation contributed to these issues, which is why strict gluten-free adherence and follow-up care are crucial now. For managing LC, some find relief with anti-inflammatory medications (like budesonide) or dietary adjustments (low-fat, low-fiber, or dairy-free trials), but his gastroenterologist can tailor a plan. You might also seek out online support groups for microscopic colitis—they often share practical tips. -
@CeliacPI, I know this does not directly address your question but it is well-known that in the celiac population, intestinal diseases in general are statistically more common than they are in the general population - IBS, colitis, lymphoma, etc.
