My chronic abdominal pains are back. They went away when I stopped eating gluten, and then came back when I had to go back on it for six weeks for another blood test, and now I'm back off it again they haven't eased off. Last time they did fairly quickly. Now I'm still pretty much constantly in pain.

I eat huge amounts of veg, make all my meals from scratch. I should be one of the healthiest people alive and I'm still constantly ill. It sucks.

I'n sorry that you're hurting. I have Celiac and I remember being at a steady 6/10 when I was being diagnosed. If you have a problem with gluten, it takes time to heal from the damage. Until your pain level drops, I hope that you take time for yourself and do whatever you need to do to heal.

In my case, I looked for anything that was "louder" than the pain. Other physical stimuli (heating pad, massage wand for my lower back, ice bags, etc) or interesting media (movies, books, music, anything!) to pull my thoughts from the constant grind in my belly. Remembered to HALT (stands for hungry, angry, lonely and tired) and checked those off my list when I felt most overwhelmed before looking for other causes.

None of these things made me better, I know, but they managed to get me through the hardest part of the recovery process. Once I stopped all wheat and dairy, my pain levels dropped steadily until I had none. I can drink milk and eat dairy again but any gluten causes me a lot of pain.

I wish you well, Nonny, in every sense of the word.

I'm suffering from stomach issues to so I feel your pain. I can't move around much and I can eat very little and only limited items. I'm living off of ensure more or less. I feel like I'll be able to be treated, but I'm still waiting on various tests to finish up. It sucks though. Hang in there and rest as much as possible.

I have Crohn's that was undiagnosed for years, and one of the things that hurt the most was eating raw vegetables. It just fucking *killed* me. I ended up having emergency surgery to remove some of my small intestine and colon (and gall bladder, and appendix).

Do you know what, exactly, your issue is? Or are you still waiting on test results? It might be the veg (especially raw stuff) that's hurting so much.
