Strange Feeling

I have had this pulsating feeling in the middle to upper abdomin for a few days now. Sort of like a muscle twitching feeling. I have not eaten gluten or anything else due to my pancreas acting up so it's not related to that. I also have some mid back pain with it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have had the same thing off and on and pain too for the past month. Doctors don't know what is causing the pain but did diagnose tumors in my kidneys and liver, non-cancerous thankfully. I'm beginning to wonder if my twitching and pain is from hidden gluten.

My doctor told me that you can feel your heartbeat in your abdomen. I feel this to sometimes especially before bowel movements.

I had some weird vibration feeling in my abdomen for awhile, it was very odd. I thought it might be neuropathy so I increased my intake of B vitamins (esp. B12). Once my gut got settled down, the vibration went away.

Could possibly be a gallbladder problem. One of my family members has had that before.

Gee, I hate to sound so dire, but if you are a "mature" adult/diabetic/hypertensive/hyperlipidemic/+ family history.....please get an abdominal usg and at the least, a doc to feel your abdomen for an aneurysm. Pulsatile mass + low back /mid back pain can be symptoms of this. However if you are very thin, it can just be the ability to feel your own normal aorta.

      Orgain Protein Powder

      I've not tried the product, but it is definitely possible that it contains barley and wheat grass, and is gluten-free. I would imagine that they are regularly testing their product for gluten content, since they are making the claim that their product is gluten-free. I personally avoid these ingredients, but some celiacs do consume them without issues. PS...

Estrogen has been shown to reduce certain health risks associated with menopause, such as cardiovascular disease, particularly in post-menopausal women. This is significant since studies suggest t...

      Orgain Protein Powder

      https://nationalceliac.org/celiac-disease-questions/do-wheat-grass-and-barley-grass-contain-gluten/ I find this helpful. I will update you on what the company says but most likely will choose one of their products without the wheat and barley grass. Overall, I think the other powders should be safe and I will try them.

      Irregular periods AFTER going gluten-free?

      It’s great to hear that you’re feeling better overall since going gluten-free, but I can understand how these new menstrual symptoms are frustrating and confusing. Hormonal fluctuations and changes in your cycle after a celiac diagnosis are not uncommon. When the body starts healing from prolonged inflammation and malabsorption, it can affect hormones, pa...

      Wholefoods 365 Organic Wheatgrass Powder

      I noticed on the label: https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/product/whole-foods-market-organic-wheatgrass-powder-california-73-ounce-b07g333x4y that it says "Contain Wheat Ingredients," which probably means that it can include the protein from the wheat kernels/seeds.

She does not have issues with it.

      Perimenopause/menopause

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome back! Many celiac patients navigating perimenopause or menopause consider estrogen therapy, and there’s growing research highlighting its potential benefits. Estrogen has been shown to reduce certain health risks associated with menopause, such as cardiovascular disease, particularly in post-menopausal women. This is significant since studies suggest that women with celiac disease may already face an elevated risk of heart disease due to chronic inflammation or malabsorption issues prior to diagnosis. Estrogen therapy, whether through pills, patches, or other methods, can also help alleviate menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and bone loss, all of which can be exacerbated by nutrient deficiencies common in celiac patients before going gluten-free. Of course, the decision to use estrogen therapy is highly individual and depends on your health history, risk factors, and how well your body is responding to a gluten-free diet. If you're considering this route, it's a great idea to discuss it with your doctor. They can tailor a plan that aligns with your needs and monitor how the therapy affects your overall health. Hearing about others' experiences can also be helpful, so it's great you're reaching out to connect with others in the community!

      Irregular periods AFTER going gluten-free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s great to hear that you’re feeling better overall since going gluten-free, but I can understand how these new menstrual symptoms are frustrating and confusing. Hormonal fluctuations and changes in your cycle after a celiac diagnosis are not uncommon. When the body starts healing from prolonged inflammation and malabsorption, it can affect hormones, particularly those involved in your menstrual cycle. Additionally, going gluten-free can improve overall health, which might shift your hormone balance and alter your cycles. Delayed or irregular periods, cramping, and other new symptoms may be part of your body’s adjustment process, especially if your antibodies are still trending downward. While it’s reassuring that your labs are normal and serious conditions like PCOS or thyroid issues have been ruled out, these symptoms might take time to stabilize. You could also explore whether stress, diet changes, or other factors might be contributing. If things don’t improve soon, you might want to revisit your OBGYN to discuss hormone-specific testing, such as estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol levels, to check for imbalances. In the meantime, tracking your symptoms and cycles closely could help you and your doctors identify patterns or triggers. Hang in there—healing can take time, but you’re on the right path!
