7. Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is another digestive condition that may cause lower left quadrant pain when an affected individual eats gluten products. When people with celiac disease consume this protein found in wheat, their immune system attacks the intestine, which can lead to a painful response from the body.
The most common symptoms other than abdominal pain include bloating, gas, diarrhea, fatigue and weight loss. Celiac disease may also lead to vitamin deficiencies. The only treatment for celiac disease is to eliminate gluten from the diet.7‘Celiac Disease: Symptoms, Diagnosis, Diet, and Treatment.’ Medical News Today, MediLexicon International, www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/38085#treatment.
