What Are The Signs Of Being Gluten Intolerant?
I have a pain on my left side, under my ribcage that hurts through to my back. I feel it more after eating. A few months ago my doctor took an X-ray and found nothing. I think it is now getting worst. I have also had a lot of trouble in my stomach after eating gluten. I have stayed clear of gluten and that helps with the pain in my gut but not my side. I want to say it is coming from the top of my large intestine when looking at a picture of a body diagram.

thank you for contacting us. gluten allergy have lot of manifeatations. it is an autoimmune condition. you will have generalized symptoms of fatigue, lethargy and aches all over. you can have joint pains and swelling.
you will not gain weight if you always take gluten diet. you may be anemic and with some vitamin deficiencies.
you will have diarrhea and abdominal pain.
some times testing can be false negative that means tests can come back normal even if you have allergy to these foods.
if your symptoms improve with gluten free diet then it is very sensitive. avoid such foods.
good luck
