Constant joint pain even with no gluten


fargo007

Recommended Posts

Hi, 

Diagnosed Celiac of two years.   

After going strict gluten free and taking prenisone for several months, I felt a lot better but started developing necrotic bone in my hips so I left the pred alone and went to zorvolex and ibuprofen.

It seems I have CONSTANT joint pain and inflammation.  Primarily in hips and shoulders, but also in other joints too.

My questions are:

1 - Is constant, ongoing symptoms with no relief part of the package here?

2 - Are there other medicines I should try?

3 - Is there anyone else who is symptomatic even without any gluten?

fargo,     What is your current Vitamin D level??    Low D may cause joint pain in some people.

Get your vitamin d checked...I am on maintenance level of 50,000 units once a week, and numbers for d are holding their own...also have calcium checked. I'm taking four 600 mg daily to help that.talk to your endocrinologist!

Thanks for this pointer guys.  

 

Is the vitamin D supplementation helping with joint pain?

I have recently learned that there is overlap between the genes that cause celiac and mold susceptibility. It's possible that you do have celiac but are also suffering from biotoxin overload due to exposure to mold. Some people carry genes that prevent them from filtering and flushing biotoxins from their bodies. Mold spores emit mycotoxins that build up in the bodies of those who are genetically susceptible. Biotoxin illness causes chronic inflammation, including joint pain. Look at BiotoxinHelp.com for more info, as well as this link from SurvivingMold.com: Open Original Shared Link

Biotoxin illness sets off a domino effect of symptoms, including lowering vitamin D levels, but there's much more involved. The links will explain.

Have you had your thyroid checked? Hypothyroid can cause joint pain.

Also, some folks get joint pain from eating nightshade vegetables. Those are potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant.

And now - this is going to sound crazy to you but gin soaked raisins put an end to my really bad joint pain.

Be sure to give it a good eight week trial. Some folks get relief sooner but some take the full eight weeks. For me it took six weeks but when it happened it happened overnight. One day I couldn't even pick up my coffee cup. The next morning I had zero pain.

Hmm....   

I could certainly give the raisins a try.   Nothing to lose there.  

 

It's kind of like when I got diagnosed.  It took 3 months gluten-free to feel better.  Still remaining gluten-free, the same symptoms have returned and are there all the time now but to a lesser degree.

Hi Fargo,

I would definitely get Vitamin  D and thyroid checked as both can cause this issue.  I've experienced a lot of joint pain when my thyroid was out of whack.  Make sure you get a full thyroid panel, many Dr's will only order TSH which isn't going to tell the whole picture of your thyroid.  This would include Free T3, Free T4, TPOAb, and TgAb.  I hope you do start to feel better.  Joint pain.is so hard to deal with.

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
