pinchy pain under ribs and muskuloskeletal pain

i’ve been gluten free one month now after just being diagnosed - after two weeks of being gluten free i felt really good - i never had many of the symptoms when i was diagnosed after my endoscopy this past december but was feeling pinchy pain under my ribs mainly on right side but then on both - last week i had 3 consecutive days of eating eggplant, tomatoes and peppers - i began feeling this pinchy pain a few hours after the eggplant - i also had flax seed in my oatmeal - i’m so upset -i’ve been very vigilant and know i didn’t get contaminated but didn’t expect to feel this again - anybody have issues digesting these veggies? i read that they are night shade veggies and can react to autoimmune diseases -

Nightshades tend to aggravate inflammatory conditions in some people. You mention the flax seed added to your oatmeal. Do you not usually do that? I'm not aware of any issues with flax seed as far as celiac disease per se. However, if you have diverticular disease it might be problematic as would other foods containing small seeds.

i have mild diverticulosis but nothing that dr is concerned with - i truly believe it’s the seeds though as i’ve eaten peppers and tomatoes more often than eggplant and no issue - i’m still in discomfort 6 days later

Hmm you might double check the oatmeal to see if labeled Gluten Free. They do often have contamination issues otherwise. Another thing to consider is like 10-20% of celiacs will react to oatmeal the same as gluten to some degree regardless of being gluten free.

MADMOM,

You mentioned in another post you had baked eggplant with olive oil.  Celiacs can have problems digesting fats.  The gall bladder (on your right side under ribs) secretes bile to help with fat digestion, but Celiacs frequently have gallbladder dysfunction.  Something to ask your doctor about.

Be sure you use quality olive oil, not one that is diluted with corn or soy oil. 

And do rethink eating nightshades.  They contain alkaloids that promote leaky gut syndrome. 

Do look into the Autoimmune Paleo Diet... Dr. Sarah Ballantyne's book explains wonderfully....

i used extra virgin olive oil and i also had my gallbladder checked a little over a month ago and it looked fine - ii think the seeds were the culprit and having flax seed and tomatoes each day may have been more than my tummy could handle - today is the first day since last week that i feel a whole lot better but i will check into the paleo thing - if your gallbladder dysfunctions does that mean you have to remove it? i certainly don’t want to have that done

Not necessarily.  A high fat diet, like the Autoimmune Paleo Diet, can help.  Cutting down on processed foods and high carbohydrate foods are also helpful.

Since the function of the gall bladder is to produce bile, a substance that helps digest fats, it makes sense to me that a person would want to limit dietary fat if they have gall bladder dysfunction or have had it removed and I think that is also the recommendation of the medical community. There are two types of gall bladder dysfunctions: 1. Stones that clog the bile duct, usually produces much pain, and 2. an inactive, atrophied gall bladder that is not longer producing bile or no longer producing it in sufficient quantities or whose contractions are weak such that they don't push the bile out with sufficient vigor. A third would be a cancerous gall bladder but that is rare.

Gall bladder disease can be difficult to confirm. So if you continue to have that pain under your rib, I would push for more testing. Sometimes they have to do something called a "hida scan."

Well, I found this.... 

"High-Fat Diet Linked to Fewer Gallstones"

https://www.medpagetoday.org/gastroenterology/generalgastroenterology/43474?vpass=1

And....

"Dietary Patterns and Risk of Gallbladder Disease: A Hospital-based Case-Control Study in Adult Women"

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4438647/

 

Thiamine is needed to process carbohydrates and fats.  I believe inadequate thiamine starts a cascade of body dysfunction, including gallbladder problems.

yes once i go back to check my celiac levels in a month i wlll def check my gall bladder as well although the ultrasound i had in late december showed no sludge ir stones i’m assuming the pain might be from possible contamination i had this past week - it stopped hurting weeks 2 and 3 and as of today much better - dr says i will still feel discomfort until my body is healing but should be less each month

MadMom,

Costochondritis is the inflammation of the cartilage where your ribs connect together.  Frequently occurs on left side, but right side, too, sometimes.  

This link explains more...And the treatment is high dose thiamine..... elimination of the problem was seen in three days....

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing  has stepped up a notch since diagnosis.  Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out.  Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes just one, sometimes both.  But it comes and goes.   My sister also suffers now, we are both in our fifties, but she is not a coeliac, so for all I know it could just be an age thing.  I do get occasional stabbing pain in my ears but that has been all my life, and I do appear to be vulnerable to outer ear infections too.  So not a particularly helpful reply here, but I suppose what I am trying to say is it might be related but then again it could just be one of those things.   I think in the UK where I live doctors like you to report if you get tinnitus in just the one ear.  I reported mine but no cause was found.  Most of the time it is nothing but sometimes it can have a cause that can be treated, so perhaps worth reporting to your GP.
