Why Does My Stomach Hurt?
7. Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is a condition that basically means the patient has an intolerance to gluten. Gluten is a type of protein that is found in wheat, so it is commonly used in a very wide range of dishes. A person with Celiac disease that does consume gluten can experience pain in their stomach as well as other conditions including diarrhea and fatigue.
Because gluten is so common, people with the condition will find that they are rather limited in what they are able to eat. Many breads, pastas, and pastries are off the menu and those with Celiac disease will sometimes find it difficult to find suitable dishes in restaurants.
