I will be making an appointment with my doc but in the mean time the peas can weigh in.
I went on the whole food challenge and did it for three weeks following it to the "T".
June 1st I went off the diet that afternoon
Woke up June 2nd with bad stomach pains and have had them ever since.
No nausea or diarrhea. Just a bad raw feeling in stomach with bloating. And it increases when I move.
I went to urgent care on the 2nd they said it sounded like pancreatitis, but results can back negative.
I don't think it is coincidence that the day after I go off the restrictive diet I start having tummy issues. I'm guessing it is either the gluten or dairy. I dochave two autoimmune diseases.
I'm surviving on phengran and pain pills.
So what says the peas?

I'm sorry you're not feeling well. My gluten intolerant SIL has that issue if she accidentally has gluten. If it were me, once I was certain the timing wasn't a coincidence and nothing else was wrong with me, I would go back to the restrictive diet and once things calmed down start adding foods back slowly one at a time. Hope you feel better soon.

I think you need to see a gi. It could be many things that are easily fixed, but you shouldn't have to suffer. If the pain is getting worse then don't be afraid to go back to the ER.

I get extreme stomach pain from gluten (along with tons of other symptoms) but the pain doesn't last for days. Does the pain radiate towards your back? If yes I would have further tests for pancreatitis.
I agree that it's too big a coincidence that the pain started the day after you went off the diet. Go back on it, then reintroduce food one at a time. Obviously go to the dr also as soon as you can get in.

The pain does not radiate. It is in the front under rib cage.?
I have a raw feeling in the stomach and feels like sever gas pain that varies in the degree of pain.
I have never experienced anything like this.
They ruled out pancreatitis.

Sounds like you gave your digestive system a shock when you went off the plan. I agree with the others: reintroduce things one at a time to figure out what the culprit is.

If the pain continues or gets worse you should to ER, not urgent care. It could be your gall bladder, or lots of other things. Gallbladder pain is frequently on the right side just under the rib cage.
In my area it is impossible to get in to see a GI doctor without a referral from your primary care doctor. If it's still bothering you on Monday try to get asap and your primary doctor can order tests that will get you headed in the right direction. GI symptoms can vary widely from patient to patient with the same condition.
Hope you feel better soon.

The location sounds like gallbladder. I would go back on the diet, and see your doctor first thing Monday. If it's your gallbladder, if you had fatty foods after ending your diet, that could trigger an attack. Fatty foods, even fatty dairy, would send my gallbladder into spasms.

What tests did they do to rule out pancreatitis? If it was an ultrasound or X-ray then they probably checked the gallbladder too. At least I hope they did.
I hope you're able to get relief soon.

That sounds incredibly painful  gluten or dairy or both. Do you need both in your diet? I know I like strong coffee with cream and love bread. OMG love bread, pasta, CAKE, but if I were off both already I might be inclined to stay off both of them. Did you feel good or better on the challenge? Can you maintain it, I wonder? If you can get in to see a GI doctor that would be your best bet. There is a waiting list here here it would take probably 6 months unless you got really sick. |

My dsis just had some horrible bloating and other annoying symptoms and they finally found out it was her gallbladder. She had it out and feels much better. Hope you get it figured out soon.

I have never experienced anything like this. They ruled out pancreatitis. I had severe pain in the front right-side under the rib cage when I had a gall bladder attack. The pain did not subside when I changed positions or moved and it made me very nauseous. Hope you get relief soon. |

It's probably your gallbladder. Salads and fiber hurt me more than fatty foods when my gallbladder was failing.
For pancreatitis, they probably did a blood test to see if your enzymes are elevated. I have chronic pancreatitis and take pain meds all the time for the pain--my enzymes are only elevated when I have an acute attack. The pain is horrible.
If you're having a lot of pain, you need to go to the ER--they can do tests like a CT scan and more blood tests and give you more pain meds.
I tried to wait two weeks to finish my school semester when I needed my gallbladder out. I wound up with a lot more scar tissue, my gallbladder almost ruptured, and I got abcesses from leaking bile because my accessory bile duct got cut because there was so much scar tissue the surgeon couldn't see I had an extra duct. The bile backing up caused 15 bouts of pancreatitis which damaged my pancreas and caused chronic pancreatitis. (I can't eat normally anymore--I can only eat a little at a time, no fiber, not many vegetables, and I often have to rest my pancreas by just drinking liquids.)
I really wish I hadn't waited and didn't try to just tough it out and not go to the ER.

She was diagnosed with colon cancer and is stil going through treatment. |

Sorry you are in pain. If you can make an appointment with the Gastroenterologist, I would do so. The ones in my area are booking out about 3 months - not sure if that is the case in other places.
When I had pain like that - it was ulcers in my stomach and gastritis. It took many doctors visits to get the referral to the gi because my primary's office ordered a ct scan with contrast and just my diverticulitis showed up. I was persistent because the pain was horrible. The gi did an upper endoscopy and that's when he can back with the words "you have one really pissed off stomach" lol. When they do the endoscopy, they can take some samples of your stomach tissue and upper intestines. I was only 39 when I had this and the ulcers.
Everyone is different, so you need to keep a food diary of what is and isn't bothering you.
I just had an upper gi series of xrays when you drink the barium type drink and also some other things you swallow. I have a small sliding hiatal hernia and also gerd (which I currently take something daily for). I am going for a colonoscopy in July. Also there is a easy blood draw they can do to see if you have any signs of celiac. That for me was negative. I am 42, but am glad they are taking my stomach and digestive issues seriously. It is such a pain to be in pain.
I trust the Gastro doctor for a better diagnosis than the primary care doc. A specialist is the way to go. |
