SOMEONE please help...

HI,



i had my gb removed in august 2001. about a week after i started having sharp, dull pain on both sides near my kidneys.

i was treated w/antibiotics twice for a UTI but the pain still hasn't gone away. anyone know what this pain could mean or what i should do next?

THANX 4 any comments!!!

WHat are some of your other symptoms.  DO you have direha or constipation or do you feel tired alot or weak.  You might get checked for Celiac Disease.  I dont know alot of your symptoms but the first signs that I had were the pains in the lower sides of my stomach and they passed me from doctor to doctor and never found anything.  Celiac is nothing much more than a wheat allergy that damages your intestines and if left untreated can cause cancer.  IT usually only occurs in infants and older people but I am only 19 and I have it.  They let me go for three years and it really got bad when I had my gall bladder out a year and ahlf ago.  All it takes is a simple blood test to check for certain antibodies.  The only treatment is to not eat any type of wheat products.  I have been off the wheat somewhat for about a month and I am amazed at the drastic improvemetn in the way that I feel.  I read somewhere that Celiac is the most common disease in the united states and the most misdiagnosed.  Alot of doctors dont know hardly anything about it so you may have to bring it up to get it checked.  please write backa nd let me know what you find out.  Thanks!!
