I have been having a problem with swelling in my lower abdomen and severe gas pain, It seems to happen after I have eaten white pasta...i can eat some breads in moderation, I was wondering if this could be a gluten sensivity, also I noticed that if I do eat pasta of any kind I weigh 5-7 lbs heavier for at least a week then its gone... can you help with this?  Any insight would be great.
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor. Forum.  You had swelling and pain in the lower abdomen, appears to be gas pain, after eating white pasta, and bread. You are suspecting gluten sensitivity.  First you had swelling in the lower abdomen, so it appears to be the subcutaneous swelling, due to abscess or cellulitis, with collection of pus. In a few days you may see a pus point.  If you have any change in bowel movements, or burning in the urination, you can suspect abdominal pain, gas may be there even with abscess like infections due to indigestion.  I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. By physical examination the doctor will confirm the diagnosis.  Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.  Best regards.
