I was wondering if anyone suffers with pains in their chests (just below the breast bone)? I do about 20/30 mins after I have eaten. My blood tests have come back normal but I'm still waiting for my coeliac results.

Yeah, I'd have them run tests. I'm getting an upper endoscopy run later for the same thing. It got so bad after a while I had to go on a 2 day fast, and eat bland foods for the next week where the pain exploded in the stomach area. I'm now in a huge flareup cuz of it.
I have this same pain. I didn't know if it was fibromyalgia related or not. I've had my gallbladder removed, due to it only working at 13%. Will definitely bring this up at my next dr appointment.
With food yes but also with water at times. Very painful. I went to a specialist and he said without a doubt it was my gallbladder.
So under doctors recommendations I had the surgery to remove it last September.
Within two weeks post surgery the pain had returned exactly the same as before. So now I'm out a gallbladder plus a lot of money that insurance didn't cover.
IBS-Irritable Bowel Syndrome is known to be linked to Fibromyalgia sufferers. Everyone is different in how they suffer from IBS. I know with me I never know when it will hit and have no control when it does. I have also noticed the increase in gas with foods or bevebeverages.
Seeking help with nutrition and diet is very helpful as well.
Part 2 as the 3000 character thing
A little snippet of me with one operation, the second time they went in, in 8 days through the same 5 holes, agony was putting it mildly, they were discussing me after I woke still in theatre, and one nurse called me a junkie, the other said I was still under general and waking, and wouldn't be able to think about a fix. Besides, look on her file " high tolerance to pain relief!" The first nurse mumbled and walked away the second upped my pain meds watched me and upped them again, I loved when she was on she was one of the few who believed I'd rather have a clear head than be on pain meds and in this much pain? There are some good ones there, but don't be surprised if you get an a*+ hat as well, too?,
Again I wish you well I'm not trying to scare you off, but you need to go in with as much info as possible.
