Upper Abdominal Pain For Over A Week


faithforlife

Recommended Posts

faithforlife Apprentice

For over a week now Ive had upper abdominal pain that feels like a fullness. I have it throughout the day but especially after eating. In fact it feels fine in the morning before I eat. Ive had basic labs drawn and everything looks good. Even my H Pylori was negative. Im not one to have GI symptoms from getting accidentally glutenated, so Im not sure how that feels, and I dont think I ate any gluten. Im worried that something is wrong internally. About 3 years ago, pre-celiac diagnosis, I was hospitalized with dehydration from a stomach bug. As a result I left the hospital with my liver enzymes high and a Rx for gastritus. This feels kind of like that. I really dont want to go to the doctor unless I have to. And Im not sure which meds are gluten-free to treat the possible acid reflux. What should I do? What can I take? What should I ask the doctor?

Sounds like a stomach ulcer - especially the 'fullness' feeling. You can have those even with neg H Pylori, I've had a few. You should go to the Dr for sure they'll prob give you a proton pump inhibitor!

Ok I'll make my appt. I did have a stressful week and lost some sleep worrying. My stomach was in knots! What good that did me!

I had something to similar to that last spring. I was getting to where I really didn't want to eat. They checked my gallbladder for stones and function, did an endo, ran all sorts of tests... I was getting trace amounts of gluten in and as soon as I figured that out, I started to get better. Interestingly, my gallbladder was functioning at less than 70%. They also checked my stomach acid to make sure I produced enough, as that can be a symptom.

How did you figure you were still getting gluten?

      Welcome to the forum, @marion wheaton! Can you be more specific about why the doctors were concerned about you taking the medication? Was there a connection between there concern and you having celiac disease?

      I'm newly diagnosed with osteoporosis. 2 doctors have recommended I start alendronate (Fosamax). Both doctors expressed concern with the oral medication and at the same time are uncertain about the IV form. Is there any reliable information on celiac disease and the use of alendronate for the treatment of osteoporosis?

      We don't have a Trader Joe in my town, but a small local grocer has started carrying a variety of Dr Schaar products. I do like all of his that I have tried.

      Gluten can cause inflammation in the digestive tract and that includes the mouth.  Also, nutritional deficiencies can cause oral inflammation.  Cobalamine B12 deficiency and Niacin B3 deficiency can result in swollen irritated tongues and mouth sores.  Salt would definitely cause further irritation.... Like pouring salt in a wound....

      Absolutely disheartening. I always go for a certified product. Wondering if it’s worth the extra money and extremely disappointed in the organization for letting this happen.
