What Is The Cause Of Stomach Pain And Bloating After Meals?
I m currently looking for a doctor here in indianapolis who treats womens hormones. I have to take weekly injections of testostrone, plus take other scripts for vit. deficiencies. I have Celiacs Disease along with many other food allergies. I currently have another issue going on. Everytime I eat dinner, regardless of what it is my stomach hurts and bloats right away and stays like that into the morning. I went on a strict diet of 1300-1500 calories of clean eating to help lose weight and lost nothing. I work out 5 days a week and am very active. I don t understand what is going on. It seems like more fat has gone to my stomach and thighs. I m 5 5 140lbs now I use to be 135lb, can t seem to get back down. I recently had blood work taken and things were fine, although my T was a little high, which I can back down. I had recently bumped it up because I was starting to feel like I did before when it was extremly low. My free T was 8, Total T 75, and another T (forget the name) 52.9 (range 24-208). I would really like to find a doctor or answers to the root cause of things. I know having Celiacs, there seems to be a lot of issues. I am 35 and things didn t start getting bad till I turned 30. It started out with really bad acne, which I never had in my life. Then more food allergies along with low hormones. I hope you can help me. Lorretta

Hello and welcome to HCM,
For management of celiac disease a gluten free diet has to be taken.
This implies that only rice and maize can be taken amongst the grains.
Dietary control is very important.
Some food items especially bought ready made from market may have small amounts of gluten usually not mentioned in the ingredients.
Foods of this type may cause gastric upset characteristic of celiac disease.
Stomach ache and bloating are characteristic of celiac disease.
Avoid having ready made foods items and observe whether these symptoms disappear or not.
For the weight gain, you need to exercise with more intensity to burn more calories and loose weight.
You have not mentioned the indication for testosterone injections.
There are very few conditions wherein testosterone injections are used.
Kindly, mention the indication for testosterone injection.
Thanks and take care
