Upon having a recent CT for severe back and abdominal pain for years, I have been told I need to see a bone doc as I have a lower back fusion, (with out surgery) and a severly infalmmed sacroiliac joint. I am afraid it is AS. What else could have fused my lower spine? What really upsets me is years ago the fusion was discovered in an exray, when I was complaining then about severe lower back pain! The PA at the time said, maybe you were born that way! I just excepted it and went on living in pain until it got so bad this year I had to look into it again. Anybody out there relate this to Gluten? I have been gluten-free for a year now and everything else is getting better. Help! Thanks.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      I guess I would encourage you to abstain from the wine for a while. If you know something causes you pain then it is a good idea not to do it if you don't have to.

      We have had numbers of others on this forum report pain in that same area. Have you been checked for an H. Pylori infection? This is something very common in the celiac population.

      Hi! Yes I have, endoscopy didn’t show anything other than celiacs. I’ve been wondering if it’s possibly that my intestines are so damaged that the wine is irritating because they have not fully healed. Very odd, I felt better for a few weeks and then all the sudden started noticing the pain again after the weekends when I drink wine (don’t drink during the week). I’ve also heard that dull left side pain isn’t a common symptom with celiacs so my diagnosis was surprising to doctor as well though the pain did initially subside with gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the forum, @Celiacsugh! Have you been checked for a gastric or peptic ulcer?
