Stomach Pain At Night

Does anyone experience worse pain at night after being gluttened. I am trying to figure out what is going on. I will have pain at night in my abdomen. WHich causes me not to sleep well. It has been this whole week and I think I may have had gluten on Monday. During the day I haven't had a ton of symptoms, other then some C. It seems to hit me sometimes out of the middle of no where .I will be fine and then bam. The pain at night is weird. I guess I could describe it as like my intestines being stuck together(maybe they are!LOL!). Ok, it is all sounding weird, but I think it is strange that it is worse at night and it wakes me up. I sleep very restlessly when this happens.

yes, I am totally there with ya on that one. I blam it on the fact that during the day I am to busy to notice but at night when I am more relaxed I pick up on it more. Not to say that I don't feel the pain during the day, but like you said its stronger at night

When I get the intestinal pains I take long hot baths and lay with my heating pad on my belly/side/back or wherever I hurt. That usually helps me enough that I can fall asleep.

However, I've noticed that when I lay down I tend to experience a lot of nausea and reflux which is a fairly new thing with me. Anyone else have this problem?

Lately, I have been waking up with pressure in my upper abdominal area--almost like indigestion. I mentioned this to my gastro. doc. who I saw last week. He felt around a little, and told me to take Phazyme.

I wake up at about 2-3:00am . I feel famished. Like I'm starving. Either I'm hungry or thirsty or I need to go to the bathroom. Continues - post Gluten-free Casein-free soy f.

      Biopsy results - second opinion?

      By ellyelly · Posted

      Hi all, Such valuable insights shared here - I am so grateful to be able to read along! Thank you all for sharing your wisdom.  I (37yo female) have recently had an endoscopy to screen for celiac given a strong family history and extremely low Ferritin for the past 7 years (not responsive to oral supplements). I am awaiting celiac blood panel results (completed post-endoscopy to provide another piece of the puzzle, I think was just an accidental oversight not doing earlier).  The endoscopy results are as follows: Gastroscopy:  Stomach: Mild gastritis and one 4mm benign appearing inflammatory polyp in the body.  Duodenum: Largely normal but few shallow erosions seen in the duodenal bulb. Microscopy:  1. Sections show specialised and non-specialised gastric mucosa with increased numbers of chronic inflammatory cells within the lamina propria including occasional clusters of plasma cells amounting to mild chronic inflammation. No active inflammation, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia or malignancy is seen. Immunostains for Helicobacter organisms are negative. 2. Sections show small bowel mucosa with normal villous architecture. A mild non-specific intra-epithelial lymphocytosis is noted at the villous tips of uncertain clinical significance. The lamina propria contains a normal population of chronic inflammatory cells. No granulomas or parasites are seen. There is no dysplasia or malignancy. Conclusion 1. Gastric: Mild chronic inflammation 2. Duodemum: Mild non-specific intraepithelial lymphocytosis with preserved villous architecture.  The GI specialist, assuming blood tests come back normal, feels it is unlikely that it is celiac given the normal villous architecture. Suggested continuing on as usual and monitoring for symptoms etc, screening with blood test if required in the future.  Worth a second opinion or does this seem accurate? Anything else I should be considering? I feel a little lost as to how to best proceed! Thanks again.

      @TerryinCO, Are you taking a B Complex in addition to your B12?  B 12 needs the other B vitamins to function correctly.  Celiac disease and the damage to the intestines makes absorbing vitamins and minerals difficult.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing while you're healing.   Are you on any medication for your Gerd?  Here is often caused by too little production of digestive juices.  Supplementing with a B Complex will help.

      I definitely try to get those in my diet.  There is most likely a genetic component to the issues.  Thank you so much for the advice!!

      Bless your heart!  That does make for a bumpy journey!  The Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus really works well for pain relief.  I was surprised at how well it works.  I can't recommend it enough.  I can't tolerate aspirin nor nsaids.   Are you getting enough Omega Threes in your diet?  Healthy fats like olive oil help keep our discs and joints healthy and fluid.

      Thank you!  I will have to look into that.  I have Anklosing Spondylitis, bulging and dehydrated discs so pain is a big part of my life.
