Right Side Hardness?

I have a question, I don't know if this is normal or TMI....

But since going gluten free I have noticed I have this sensation of rolling hardness over my right side abdomenen. Its sort of uncomfortable, not painful.

As time has progressed now, it doesn't have the rolling sensation but it feels hard sometimes, when I lay on my stomach I can feel that area feels harder like a lump. Pressing on my stomach, it feels a little thicker on that side sometimes but not all the time, but its not sore or anything, and its not defined feeling (like I assume a cancer mass would feel).

The area it is a line from under my ribcage to just beside my belly button straight down.

I am a little freaked out as this is definitly something thats been new in the last few months. At first I thought it was in my head, but its definitly not.

I go to the doctor again in April, and I really don't want to go in unless I think something is wrong.

I do get this, i thought i was the only one on the planet :). I recently had that for the first time in 25? yrs. I used to get it all the time as a teenager and I noticed it several nights ago. I imagine it's an intestinal spasm? I never have any GI symptoms from gluten but maybe that is one and I didn't just know what it was! I've been gluten-free for 5 months, maybe I got glutened or something, I don't know... I don't worry about it too much as its not a constant thing..

It might be a hernia. They are pretty common amongst us.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Nicbent35 · Posted

      Wow she was just playing with play dough yesterday and I actually thought i wonder if I have to worry about play dough! But no meltdowns yesterday. Is your daughter celiac or just gluten sensitive/intolerant? Your son still had to go on Ritalin after going gluten free?

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By growlinhard1 · Posted

      I had the endoscopy with biopsy done. I have gastritis and duodenitis at this point. The biopsy should provide the cause of the inflammation findings. How common are these findings when Celiac is the ultimate culprit?

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @cookiesyum, I lasted on staton for about a month before getting so weak I had to stop.   Switched to Nicotinic Acid and I posted the results in a previous post.  Instead of getting sicker and weaker on the statin I feel I am improving day by day.  Nicotinic Acid was first used for cholesterol in 1955.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      According to research, consuming gluten can potentially trigger sudden mood swings and increased irritability in children, particularly those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, making them more likely to have tantrums or display behavioral issues; this is because gluten can trigger an immune response in the body, potentially impacting brain function and neurotransmitter levels.  When my son was diagnosed in 1976 when he was weaned his doctor told us that at 5 years old his kindergarden teacher would beg us to put him on Ritalin.  And so it did happen.  My son was on Ritalin though high school.  In the morning he was a devil who could not put on his socks. Half an hour after the morning dose he was an angel wanting to help mom get ready.  Talk about Jekyll and Hyde! Dr Danel Amen could be a good resource for you.

      Yes, it certainly can! My daughter has a reaction from just playing with Playdough. She doesn't get GI symptoms at first, just psychological mostly. It can get really bad. It's like night/day behavior. My daughter is eight, but started showing signs around 6.
