Pain in abdomen

Hi I’ve been gluten free for 14 months since diagnosed with celiac. I’ve mostly avoided eating out, but right now I’m on a trip and so have gone to a couple restaurants this week. I now have pain in my abdomen that Feels like a rock sitting in my abdomen just slightly to the left and above my navel, that hurts more if I put any pressure on it (I.e. rest a hand on the spot). Has any one else had symptoms like this from getting glutened?

My stomach/duodenum actually will be visibly larger probably due to inflammation.  If I bend forward, I can feel a pinching and often it takes my breath away.  It sounds like your celiac disease maybe flaring.  ?

Ditto and during my challenge I felt sharp stabbing pains there . My husband came in once because I yelped out in pain. He brought me a drink of ginger and warm water and got me my epsom salt bath with my meditation music. 

I took the advice of many on here as a newbie to stop eating out. It was good advice.Respectfully, the decision is yours, but it is good advice if you begin to see it is an issue.

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      By jeema · Posted

      @Bindi the reason I asked about the antibody levels is because if they remain elevated after going on a gluten free diet then I think that typically indicates that there's still ongoing accidental gluten consumption.  Do you know what the trend in your levels have been since you started the diet?

      Non glutenfree household

      By Dora77 · Posted

      I am an asymptomatic celiac, so even if I eat gluten I feel no pain.    But since 6 months I have stools which are very similar to malabsorption stools. Which could mean my small intestine is damaged which would lead to my body not being able to absorb nutrients.  I live in a gluten household but we look out for not like dipping gluten bread in butter etc. My mom doesnt make gluten food. But they sometimes make gluten noodle. And bread out of gluten flour. Mostly they buy premade gluten bread. But sometimes they also make it out of gluten flour, is this safe? Or should they completely avoid it? Because I know gluten flour is fine and can get everywhere. So what would be the right approach? Never making bread with gluten flour and cleaning the kitchen table to make sure there are no leftover gluten? Also can I drink from someone others water bottle if he ate gluten like bread prior?   I don’t know what is causing my stools, maybe pancreas enzyme deficit. The only thing which could gluten me are: what I said like gluten flour in our house (although we do it rare like 1 time in 2 months). I can tell my mom that she should completely avoid making bread of gluten flour. I guess for them to consume premade gluten bread would be fine? Drinking from friends water bottle And although I watch out for articles which state may contain gluten, a lot of spices like pepper have tons of stuff behind them like may contain peanuts or may contain gluten and I eat those peppers. i live in germany and some times there are no gluten ingredients and no may contains but also no glutenfree label like in chips. Is this safe? Is going near a bakery in for example a supermarket safe? Because of floating gluten in air. I also dont eat out. Also I guess all these stuff that I told you which could gluten me would be very small gluten. Do you think it will still damage my inner organs or make me unable to absorb nutrients? Even if I am asymptomatic? Its really hard to know for me because I don’t have any symptoms. My blood results always come fine I think, but I never did a endoscopy. And I heard blood results are unreliable. The only thing I really worry about is that I don’t want to be unable to absorb nutrients. I don’t have sever stomach pain or similar symptoms. I have celiac since I am 14 and am currently 17,5.  Would small cross contamination events that occur like 10 times in a month (like drinking from friends bottle, being near gluten airborne flour, etc) cause me to be unable in absorbing nutrients? I also don’t even know how my blood results are but there isn’t anything that explains my stools beside epi or celiac. Also could it still be that my body can absorb nutrients and function normally even though I have floating undigested stools since 6 months and they are permanent never once had normal stools since 6 months. I also take vitamins and can finally fall asleep under 1 hour since taking vitamin d, etc. but I am scared that my body cant absorb vitamins, protein fully.

      Newly diagnosed Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to this online community and to the celiac nation, @Aussie Celiac! Let us know if we can help you with anything as you start the journey. By the way, we have forum participants who weren't diagnosed until they were in their 80s. It is often the case that the actual onset of the condition precedes the official diagnosis by many years, especially when symptoms are minimal. I was 50-51 when I was diagnosed but looking back I had laboratory evidence of the onset preceding the diagnosis by 13 years. It probably took years for your celiac nutrient malabsorption to deplete your iron stores such that nothing was left in the bank and your actual hemoglobin levels began to drop.

      Newly diagnosed Celiac

      By Aussie Celiac · Posted

      Well at the ripe old age of 55 I'm newly diagnosed as Celiac. What a surprise.  I was low in iron and this was the only symptom. Well I did get heartburn after eating bread but according to all sources this isn't officially a symptom! Better late than never lol.
