Oh, My Aching Feet---Are Gone

When I read Reader's Digest's article, "I am Joe's Foot."  II was a youth.  I am guessing it was in the 70's, but if someone knows when let me know.  I remember trying some of their suggestions for dealing with aching feet and caring because my feet often ached.

 

As I sat holding my daughter's foot tonight, and considered how incredibly  it was made, I suddenly realized my feet don't ache anymore.  My feet often ached over the years.  As a child, there was an empty chair at the table and yours truly would put her feet up on them.  Nobody else could put their feet on the chair but me!  I never could understand that one, but I appreciated it.  A couple of years back a person at the shoe store told me that my feet swell and recede.  She could tell by looking at the wear in my shoes.  I remember the ache being particularly bad in the summer time. 

 

But hey It's summer and my feet don't ache this year!  When I went gluten free about 18 months back, my feet first ached really bad and I had plantar fashieitis  pain in both of them.  Then all went quiet in my feet.  What feet? I asked the nurse  recently when she asked how they were.

My feet used to swell terribly. Even though I keep my sneakers so loose I can barely tie them because the laces are too short from keeping them loose, by the end of the day they were tight and I couldn't wait to get them off. That improved a lot, but lately it has come back. That is why I am giving up dairy for a while. I KNOW I am not getting glutened or corned or soyed, so what else could it be?

My dreadful plantar fasciitis vanished within weeks of going gluten-free, and reappears if I get glutened. Isn't it great when you don't notice things are better, then suddenly realize? I noticed last week that my jaw doesn't click anymore. Great!!!

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
