Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. The first management in place would be to go for complete gluten free diet and there should not be any mistake once it is diagnosed as coeliac disease. It was good that pancreatitis was excluded. If I were his doctor, apart from the measures already elaborated, I would advise him for a simple anti spasmodic along with a proton pump inhibitor drug for a symptomatic relief. I would also involve a dietician to guide on the diet he should take.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
