Severe acute abdominal pain

Hello everyone 

I’ve posted here recently - thanks for all your replies at that time. 
 

I’m just out of hospital after my 5th admission in 9 months (4 of these admissions in last two months) with severe acute abdominal pain. It’s epigastic in nature and slightly to the right hand side. It’s not gallstones and liver / pancreas are fine (so says the blood work). 
 

Has anyone experienced severe acute tummy pain with coeliac? I have low iron and folate as well as lots of gas, reduced appetite and noisy stomach. 
 

Thanks

The pain I had was primarily in the middle-right area of my abdomen. How long have you been gluten-free, and is any gluten getting into your diet? Have you tried eliminating other things like cow's milk?

i had pain just like Scott before i got diagnosed 5 months ago - it was a pinchy stabbing pain in my right mid abdomen by my belly then i began feeling it under my right rib area thinking gall bladder issue but had ultrasound and all normal including liver and kidney - i too had a noisy tummy as well - i saw a GI dr and he recommended an endoscopy and celiac was confirmed and then blood test sealed the deal - go see a GI dr

Thanks both. I am not gluten free at present as still in the process of a diagnosis. I am low on iron folate and copper. 

 

I have bought a home test for coeliac (the top test in the photo) and I’ll post the results here... can you see a VERY faint positive? To the left of the T.

i suggest you see a dr and get a full panel of blood work - i was also low in iron ferritin levels low and always tired all my life - got dx in jan - endoscopy and blood test and following gluten free diet since - i take probiotics vitamin d and iron and sometimes magnesium - i feel so much better since

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
