I have taken myself off gluten while my new rheumatologist confirms this diagnosis. While conducting my own research I have found that many celiacs have a low B12 level causing anemia and many of the problems associated with celiacs. I have been taking 100% Himylain goji juice (no I do not sell it) and have experienced great relief from the symptoms. It is expensive but it has been well worth the cost. I suggest anyone with joint and muscle pain to try it. I have tried some of the less expensive generic brands but the don't seem to work. It is amazing the roller coaster ride I have been on for the last year and I am so thankful that there is so much information available on the internet. If not for the web I think I would still be in a great deal of pain and not able to function from day to day. <br/><br/>

I have been suffering for about 2.5 years now and the medical system failed me.  I have done a lot of self research and thanks to articles like this I have learned that my pain (knees, elbows, ankles, wrists, shortness of breath, bloating etc.) is due to my diet.  I have eliminated dairy, soy, gluten and eggs in the past week or so and I am feeling a lot of relief.  I am planning to take a food intolerance test soon to confirm.  Thanks again and best wishes to all.<br/><br/>

I pointed this out to my internist who insisted that I just was having discomfort with osteoarthritis.  I pointed to all the appropriate symptoms and correlations and so she looked it up and asked one more question.  Then she said, 'oh, you have psoriatic arthritis.'  I was sent to a rheumatologist who wanted to put me on methotrexate.  I have type I diabetes and did not feel I needed any addition suppression of my immune system.  Then I a new client came into my office.  She is a widow whose husband had had rheumatoid arthritis.  She is a widow because of the methotrexate.  I have two sisters with full blown celiac disease.  So I consulted a naturopathic doctor.  She suggested several possibilities including an auto immune response to gluten.  I tried going gluten free and my symptoms have decreased by about 90%.  Any time I have inadvertently consumed even a tiny amount of gluten the arthritis returns.  Then this past Sunday I decided to test a single beer.  Alas, the symptoms returned severely for two days and only now, 5 days latter am I approaching becoming symptom free again.  I suspect there are other things I should eliminate but gluten seem to be the monster for me.<br/><br/>

You all will soon learn my name. Sheer genetic dietary evolution and genetic markers do not lie. The riddle is solved. My apologies if I offend the Vegans, but we are evolved carnivore. Not omnivore. We eat herbivore and fish. Without these accurate proteins, we as a species will suffer. This will no longer be hidden.With just the 2 markers of DQ2 and 8 make up nearly 40% of the USA. They now have at least 10 markers that are known gluten intolerant. DQ1 through 9 and a possible HLA A24. The only thing that can kill me is glutonite!Any nutritionist will tell you, mimic the diet of the bear, only add potato and rice! Follow the diet of your evolutionary origins. Paul R. Dierks.

I have become lactose intolerant in my middle years.  I have found that my three children are all lactose sensitive.  Two of my brother's children have been recently diagnosed with celiac disease.  My sister who helped our family identify our lactose issues has gone gluten free.  I am seeing that there may be more than dairy issues with me as I hit my funny bone in the summer and now 7 months later I still have 'tennis elbow'.  After reading this article I will be watching carefully to see what happens to my elbow pain as I cut out the gluten.<br/><br/>

I was in so much pain and suffered for 18 months.  I am was on Enbrel and Methrotrexate.  They helped but did not do enough.  I soon realized I also had Candida and went on a strict diet - no sugars, no gluten for 6 months.  Alas, the pain went away, my chronic fatigue disappeared!  I got my life back!  In the past 3 months, I have added just a little bit of sugar back - mostly in the form of fructose.  I also experimented with bringing back the gluten and every time I did the aches and the flair-ups came back.  No doctor ever told me to consider eliminating gluten to help my arthritis during the first 18 months of misery!  Cutting out the gluten and the night shade vegetables (which I did too) has been life changing!  Anyone with arthritis needs to give it a try. This is a great article.  I wish I had read it 2 years ago.<br/><br/>

There has been quite a lot of research into this. People suffer less pain after taking proteolytic enzymes instead of NSAIDs for these conditions. I can testify to this from personal experience. I have a little arthritis in one hand and am now trying a bread-free experiment to see if this helps.<br/><br/>

I've been on nearly every drug out there for RA, most recently a combo of Enbrel and Mobic, which worked amazingly. I'd been told repeatedly that stress contributes greatly to the severity of RA, but didn't really believe it much, till I switched jobs nearly a year ago. Since then I have been able to slowly go off of the Enbrel, while adding Omega-3's to help control the symptoms. It worked great until about a month ago (month 5 of no Enbrel). I have also had severe allergies most of my life, I broke out with a serious rash yesterday and have an appointment with my PCP later today. I'm planning to ask about a correlation with celiac or other food allergy. I have a good friend who was diagnosed with celiac about two years ago, and hadn't known about it before then, but after researching it have wondered if maybe that's been my problem all along. Does anyone know if an elevated SED rate is linked to celiac?<br/><br/>

With in 3-4 days of changing my diet, my pain was 90% better.  
I had been suffering for 7 months and came upon this article in the night when I could not sleep because of the pain.  I painted my daughter's room on President's Day and didn't think till the next day that my elbow didn't hurt.  In addition I had what I called a brain fog where I was so scattered and forgetful that I thought I was in the early stages of memory loss.  I was anxious and worried more than I use to be.  Now I seem to have more clarity again.  I did not test high on a blood test for celiac yet still had symptoms.  The last thing I wanted to do was change my diet especially after being told by my sister that I might have some concerns.  Her blood test was insignificant as well but had high numbers on a stool test.   She changed her 4 year old son's diet as he had very aggressive behavior.  He is now a pleasant yet still active child after finding additional corn, soy, sugar and additive triggers in addition to gluten and lactose.  
I know I keep going on but there is more.   In March we found that I am pregnant! An unexpected blessing!  I am 45 and our youngest is 7 years old.  We have been relying on 'timing' for birth control and all of the sudden I change my diet and  I'm pregnant.  I do have a history of endometriosis, which is inflammatory.  I have been sensitive to wheat in my previous pregnancies but never thought to exclude it from my diet.  I usually vomit the first 3-4 months of pregnancy with a revisit to pukesville about every two weeks until delivery.  I have not thrown up even once.  Just lucky?  I'm not going back to gluten to test it.  It's not worth the health risks to me or the baby.  I'm  also interested to see if this baby will be a 10lb or 10lb + like my last two.  Lots of speculation on my part but the results cannot be ignored.<br/><br/>
