Left Side Pain, I'm New In Town Help Me Out!

I was diagnosed with celiac 5 years ago. Since then I've had off and on stomach pain that I have assumed was do to accidental ingestion here and there. However the last month or so I have had pain on my left side basically pelvic pain. Sometimes I can feel it in my back and occasionally it goes up to my navel. I'm wondering if anyone had experienced this with accidental exposure to gluten. I'm hoping that is all it is and not something like crohns or something. Any help is appreciated!

It would be a good idea to mention this to your doctor. It could be celiac related but it could also be something unrelated. Are you having other issues like D or C ? If your female you could have something going on like ovarian cysts or another problem in that area.

Hope it resolves for you soon.

      Correct. I’m doing both in the same go though. Thanks for clarifying before I confused someone. I’m doing a colonoscopy for something else and then they added the endoscopy after the test.

      It is a biopsy but it's not a colonoscopy, it's an endoscopy.

      Well I’m going on the gluten farewell tour so they are about to find out lol. I keep saying biopsy but yeah it’s a scope and stuff. I’m a dummy but luckily my doctor is not.

      The biopsy for celiac disease is done of the small bowel lining and in conjunction with an "upper GI" scoping called an endoscopy. A colonoscopy scopes the lower end of the intestines and can't reach up high enough to get to the small bowel. The endoscopy goes through the mouth, through the stomach and into the duodenum, which is at the upper end of the intestinal track. So, while they are scoping the duodenum, they take biopsies of the mucosal lining of that area to send off for microscopic analysis by a lab. If the damage to the mucosa is substantial, the doc doing the scoping can often see it during the scoping.
