My whole life i've been dreaming got the day that I could join the National Guard! It has been something that i never had to think about wanting to do. Well I'm finally old enough to join which is the best thing ever! but...... i have celiacs. My recruiter has informed me that because of my allergy I can't go through with my dream. They will let anyone with any other allergy in but this one. I have spent many night crying about this. I no longer know what to do with my life.....

So sorry! I was taken out of recruitment because of cancer. So I know the feeling. Think about what job you wanted to do, and go to school for that. Civvy contractors make seriously larger pay checks. ?

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      I guess I would encourage you to abstain from the wine for a while. If you know something causes you pain then it is a good idea not to do it if you don't have to.

      We have had numbers of others on this forum report pain in that same area. Have you been checked for an H. Pylori infection? This is something very common in the celiac population.

      Hi! Yes I have, endoscopy didn’t show anything other than celiacs. I’ve been wondering if it’s possibly that my intestines are so damaged that the wine is irritating because they have not fully healed. Very odd, I felt better for a few weeks and then all the sudden started noticing the pain again after the weekends when I drink wine (don’t drink during the week). I’ve also heard that dull left side pain isn’t a common symptom with celiacs so my diagnosis was surprising to doctor as well though the pain did initially subside with gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the forum, @Celiacsugh! Have you been checked for a gastric or peptic ulcer?
