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.

      Thank you. That’s all really helpful. I think it must have been something she ate as the poo colour has settled now.    Starting to see improvements in her tummy, slowly but surely!

      I take all vitamins and supplements.  My cardiologist has me taking B12 5,000 once per weeks.  He gives me complete blood work every 6 months.  He's still building my D levels which is now in 60s.  He wants them in low 80s.  I take 5,000 IU's daily.  With this dosage I've gone from 42 to 65 over a period of about 5 years.  It builds very slowly.   As far as iron, I take a double dose of gentle iron with C on an empty stomach on alternate nights.  Yes, iron is a component for many of us with RLS, but mostly "brain iron" that in some people may require iron transfusions.

      The positive DGP-IGA indicates the possibility of celiac disease. It is typical for someone who does have celiac disease to have some antibody tests be negative and others positive. This is not unique to celiac disease diagnosis. It is why doctors typically run many tests when seeking diagnosis of a suspected disease.  The DGP-IgA test is considered to have high sensitivity and specificity. In general, the DGP-IgA test has been reported to have a sensitivity ranging from 75% to 95% and a specificity ranging from 90% to 100%. Overall, the DGP tests, including DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG, exhibit a sensitivity of approximately 85-95% and a specificity of about 95-98%. The above paragraph is taken from this article which gives an overview of the various tests that can be run for celiac disease and their reliability: What symptoms are you experiencing?

      Yes, get serum antibody testing done for celiac disease. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.
