Groin pain, pulled muscle? where abouts in the groin? do you mean a lump..hernia? or is it a referred pain from somewhere else... could be anything .. can you be more specific? if it worsens or doesn't go away my best advice is go see a Dr...

I have right groin pain. Was thinking it was a hernia, had surgery the beginning of Nov and haven't felt the same. Pain getting worse, very bad at time. Gluten free since beginning of Jan. Doctors don't know and make you feel like it is in your head. Wonder if there is a connection.

I would talk to your doctor. I did have severe pain in the lower left but then again I had severe pain all over my body. LOL In my case my first colonoscopy showed that I had 'the most extensive case' of diverticulosis my GI had ever seen. Normally it is only found on the left side of the large intestine mine was throughout the whole organ. Interesting that my routine scope done 5 years after I was finally diagnosed showed that my diverticuli were almost totally gone. Makes me wonder how many with diverticulosis have it as a result of undiagnosed celiac. I do also have a connective tissue disorder, Ehlers Danlos, that was thought to be the reason it was so extensive, guess that wasn't it.

You also should have ovarian cysts ruled out and there are likely other reasons for this type of pain. Your doctor should be clued in on this if they haven't been already.

for females my first thought would be ovarian cysts or possibly blocked falopian tubes.

      How long can symptoms take to appear?

      By SamClaire · Posted

      Hi, I’m brand new to this website but I was diagnosed 14 years ago. I am just now getting over a particularly bad flare up that lasted a full 7 days. I’ve been trying to figure out what caused it and all I can think of is I know I accidentally ate gluten (specifically wheat flour) 9 days before my symptoms started. Could it have taken 9 days for my symptoms to start? I can’t think of any other culprit it could’ve been. Thank you!

      Cross-contamination?

      Thanks Scott!

      Products can be both gluten-free AND made in a facility that produces wheat products. Why are you assuming that this product isn't gluten-free?

      Cross-contamination?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      No, small amounts of cross-contamination won't instantly cause villi damage. In fact the protocol for getting an endoscopy for celiac disease requires people to eat at least 2 slices of wheat bread per day for 2 weeks before the procedure, otherwise any damage done might not be detected. Small amounts of gluten on a daily basis, however, may lead to severe damage over time, as it would have a cumulative effect. Some celiacs, and people with DH, have intense symptoms with even a single exposure with a trace amount of gluten, while others have little or no reaction to a lot of contamination (although their health risks from prolonged exposure are the same).

      Still unsure.....

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you're navigating a challenging and frustrating situation, and it's understandable why you'd seek clarity. Based on what you’ve described, it’s possible to have gluten sensitivity without the hallmark villous atrophy seen in celiac disease. This condition is often referred to as non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). Unlike celiac disease, NCGS does not cause the autoimmune damage to the small intestine that’s detectable through a biopsy, and it won’t show up on standard celiac blood tests. However, symptoms like gastrointestinal distress, changes in stool, and even mood issues, such as anxiety or feeling down, have been reported by others with gluten sensitivity. Your experience with mucus in your stool, stool consistency changes, and mood correlation with gluten intake could be indicative of NCGS. The low levels of zinc and folic acid you mentioned might also hint at some malabsorption issues, even if the root cause isn't celiac disease. It’s worth noting that other conditions, like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or a sensitivity to FODMAPs (a group of fermentable sugars in many foods, including wheat), can sometimes mimic gluten sensitivity. Since your symptoms seem to improve when you avoid gluten, it may be worth continuing a gluten-free diet to see if it helps you feel better overall. You might also consider working with a dietitian who specializes in gastrointestinal health to rule out other potential triggers and ensure your diet is balanced. If you’re still struggling to get answers from your doctor, seeking a second opinion from a gastroenterologist might also help you move forward. You're not alone in this, and I hope you can find some relief and clarity soon!
