Did anyone else experience lower right-side pain of abdomen?

I have to note that there is no vomiting or fever or nausea, so this is likely not appendicitis. Just gas in that area when I put my hands on it, and pain which occurred before sleep and came back when I woke.  It has been twelve hours.

I am thinking it's cross contamination.  I was diagnosed with celiac disease a year ago. 

Also, with our symptoms it is kind of difficult to tell the difference between celiac disease and anything new developing.

I have other embarrassing questions which I shall keep to myself for now.

Pain in my lower-right side was a primary symptom of my celiac disease before I was diagnosed and went gluten-free:

After 11 years diagnosis and gluten free clear blood testing I developed sharp lower right abdomen pain 2 years ago. I thought it was either a kidney stone or appendix.  It was worse upon waking when the bladder is full. I had a sonogram clearing my theory. I then had Celiac blood testing, colonoscopy and a small GI pill camera. I found mine was a reaction to citric acid and ascorbic acid. I had started eating berries at that time. It seems to be a urinary tract reaction. It comes back if I have citrus fruit, berries and tomato sauce.

I could not eat tomatoes, corn, chicken eggs or dairy for several years after my diagnosis, as they triggered nearly the same symptoms. After I healed I could tolerate those again.

My niece has Crohn’s and is successfully being treated.  She recently had severe abdominal pain that landed her in the ER.  It was not a Crohn’s flare-up, but was a ruptured ovarian cyst.  You might want to see your doctor.  He or she can also run another celiac blood panel to see if your celiac disease is active.  I have done that a few times after a suspected gluten exposure because my symptoms were so different each time.  

Not everything is due to celiac disease.

Yes. After my cc and subsequent gluten challenge, I experienced  right abdominal pain.  I personally feel these symptoms were due to inflammation for me .  My liver/ gall bladder after my gluten challenge  for me did not seem to work properly for quite sometime based on my digestion issues.

If you are newly diagnosed or had unintended exposure you may find it is a symptom. As some of us do get this.

However it is best as cycling lady suggested to rule out other causes/issues.

Interesting! I get pain frequently on either the left or right side when I'm having general digestive issues. However, I get a distinct burning pain in my lower left side when I'm glutened.

Hello! I know this thread is old but I just wanted to add for anyone who looks at threads like this while waiting for tests etc like I did! I have just been diagnosed as coeliac and had a lot of right sided lower abdo pain! My colonoscopy was fine and all the pain is associated with being coeliac. Hope that might be reassuring! Hope everyone is staying well 🙂

Very interested in this topic. I have had lower right side pain for weeks (after a few too many Glutenbergs) and elevated lipase (3x normal). PCP thinks it’s not pancreatitis due to CT results & pain being atypical. They think it is related Celiac, whatever that means?

So, waiting on follow-up blood work and a CK test ordered to rule out “other muscle related” issues, which I shouldn’t have googled.

There are so many related issues and symptoms that I am glad for this forum as a resource.

      Welcome to the forum, @Kiwifruit, I agree further testing is needed.  Disaccharidase deficiency is a symptom of Celiac disease.   On your test results, this line  "IgA: 0.9 g/l (norm 0.8 - 4.0)" is referring to Total IgA and it's very low.  People with low or deficient Total IgA should also have DGP IgG test done.  Low Total IgA means you are making low levels of tTg  IgA as well, leading to false negatives or "weak positives".  Maybe a DNA test for known Celiac genes.   Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause test results like these.  Get checked for B12 deficiency anemia and have your iron (ferritin) checked.  Vitamin D deficiency is common, too.   Might be time to find a gastrointestinal doctor who is more familiar with diagnosing Celiac Disease.   Best wishes on your journey!  Please keep us posted on your progress.

      Yes, there is a trend in the medical community to forego the endoscopy/biopsy and grant an official celiac diagnosis based on high tTG-IGA antibody scores alone. This trend started in the UK and is spreading to the USA medical community. And yes, 5-10x the normal level is what I have been seeing as the threshold as well. Here is the relevant section dealing from the article above dealing with the importance of the total IGA test being ordered. See the embedded attachment.

      Ok, interesting. Not what I was thinking that meant. I'm reading the article and trying to understand. I see this “According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy” My IgG is 90, which is 6 times. So to me that means it's highly likely I do have it.

      It just means you aren't IGA deficient, i.e., that IGA deficiency cannot have given you artificially low scores in the individual IGA celiac antibody tests. This is explained in the article Scott linked above.

      Normal range: 70 - 400 mg/dL, a little above middle of the range. So what does that mean? Thank you! I will check out that page you linked. Appreciate it!
