Thought I was done with this nonsense. I don't eat much dairy and try to limit my use of stuff like Rudi's gluten free products. I eat brown rice pasta once a week. So... I know others must have experienced this. Any and all suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks,

Keshav

Is your thyroid fine?  Hypothyroidism affects a large minority of celiacs, and that can slow things right down.

Yep, thyroid issues definitely need to be ruled out.  Other things that can add up to that are dehydration (try to drink more water) and medications (OTC and RX).  Either way, if you can't figure out what is causing it, and diet tweaks don't help, it is a good idea to go get checked out by a doctor for things they can detect like the thyroid stuff.

Thanks.... having had chronic fatigue for years - I've had the thyroid checked - including the really extra sensitive fancy test.

Think about ANYTHING that isn't gluten-free certified that you are eating.  I had something similar happen to me recently, and it manifested as joint stiffness. After scratching my head because I didn't think there was any hidden gluten on a whim I decided to stop using some spices I had for about a week, and the stiffness went away, and hasn't returned.  They are simple single ingredient spices like garlic, cumin, onion powder, etc. But they were obviously cross contaminated.

 

Hope you figure it out.  Look at everything, even if you think it's safe!

Have you added/changed any suppliments or vitamins?  I have the opposite problem, and I discovered by accident that my calcium suppliments have relieved my issues...

      Lymph nodes

      By Smith-Ronald · Posted

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      By trents · Posted

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.
