I am a celiac. The diarreah started this evening. It was like I got some wheat somehow. The back pain started around 11. It hurts bad when I stand, but can still feel it while lying down. Diarrhea is very much like I ate some wheat accidentally. I've known I was a celiac for 6 years. Lifetime of gastro problems bf that.

The severe lower back pain you have is not related to the diarrhea you have.
It could be a neuromuscular pain or ureteric colic.
Take tylenol for relief.
If pain is persistent, an ultrasound scan of the abdomen may be done to rule out ureteric colic.

I hope that answers your question.
