ARCHIVED Abdominal Pressure Points Or Tender Spots?
Karina replied to Karina's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Well, this is a long process--getting diagnosed isn't it? Today was a bad day for me, lots of abdominal pain ALL OVER my belly, but the tender points were extremely painful also. I am fighting the urge to get scared here, and was near tears tonight, not because the pain is so unbearable, but because right now I don't know for sure what is causing it. I... -
Sarah, Thanks for expounding on your symptoms! I assume you are feeling better now? Have you been formally diagnosed with celiac disease? By endoscopy? Just curious. Also, are your tender pressure points on your abdomen like mine? Or do you mean fibromayalgia pressure points--I researched these and none of them are on the abdomen. I guess I am mostly...

Sarah, I tried to e-mail you. I am interested in reading what your celiac disease symptoms are, because some of them that I have read here and there in the boards are like mine!

Yes, I have told my DR. Also, I am a nurse. I am wondering exactly what you are thinking (I know you are not a DR--I am not holding you accountable for guessing)? I have had these symptoms for a few months, and at first he wanted to do a colonoscopy, but after the celiac panel came back now he wants to do this. He is having me test for occult blood in... -

I am new to the board. Have seen a GI guy who ordered blood tests that came back suggestive of Celiac. He is doing an endoscopy at end of month. He feels this will just be confirmation that I have celiac disease, as he says I present with many typical symptoms. I am very thin, have diarrhea many times a month, have abdominal bloating, and STRANGE pains...
