Stomach pains after treatment

[Viktor Ampulski]

Hi,

I was diagnosed with celiacs after extreme stomach pain, irregular bowel movements and diarrhea. The extreme stomach pain was the main reason I really needed to find out what this was, and finally I had a doctor let me know i probably had Celiacs after a blood test. An endoscopy came back positive for celiacs as well.

The extreme burning in my stomach went away within a week, however the pain persisted. Whenever I ate, it became really bad, even though i was extremely careful and made everything from scratch. I even are only fruit for a whole week to make sure I wasn't screwing up. Now its been over a year, and I still have the stomach pain come back after eating almost anything other than juicy fruit like watermelon/melons/grapes. 

I got tested for H pylori a year ago, came back negative. Got tested for blood in stool: negative. Went to doctors, they say they have no clue what it is. 

I have tested with different things. If I eat very fatty food it hurts a lot more than other food. If I have alcohol, the pain turns into a very dull ache the next day after waking up, and it goes away the day after completely without fail. 

If I fast for a day, the pain does not exist. It used to hurt, but in the last few months not anymore. If I dont eat after 6, the pain is completely gone until I eat the next day, and it can be anything, even a no fat food. 

If I eat something at it starts hurting more, drinking a lot of water makes it usually go away almost completely. But that uncomfortable feeling is still there, just the major pain goes away.

Im going crazy here trying to figure this out. Im 22 years old, I want to enjoy my life. It also seems to go away with exercise. 

 

Any help would be great, thank you!

Hi,

Your symptoms could be related to gall bladder disease.  There is a test they can do to check your gall bladder function.  It seems like some people with celiac disease have their gall bladders removed, sometimes unnessecarily though.
