All I can say is that my muscle and joint pain is much better since starting on a good magnesium (ionic). Infact magnesium does a lot for Celiac patients. Too much calcium can be toxic and magnesium is needed to assimilate calcium and doesn't have toxic levels...I have put links to a few good articles on other post about magnesium if you do a search you will see a lot of good discussion on it. It really makes a huge difference.

Thank you Lisa,

I picked up some Now Foods Calcium, Magnesium, and Vitamin D powder, and added it to my diet. I like that it says

Thomas,

Now you got me looking into Cod Liver Oil and Vit D and it is really good that you got the Cal/Mag/Vit D combo (I love NOW, they are a great company). Vit D helps with S.A.D., which I suffer from in a big way and it helps with Calcium retention in the bones and many other things. Only caution is that we probably need more Magnesium than Calcium in our supplements to get caught up, many symptoms people talk about having can be a toxic Calcium build since there is so much Calcium "fortification" going on around us. But of course that depends on how long you have been eating more whole foods and staying away from processed. One article said "symptoms of magnesium deficiency such as sleep difficulties, body tension, fatigue, muscle spasms or stiffness, heart conditions, PMS, depression, dispersal, diabetes, osteoporosis, asthma, nervousness, constipation" would mean you may have to look at correcting low Magnesium levels. Long story short, sometimes what looks like a Calcium deficency is actually Calcium overload. Anywho...Cod Liver Oil is a source high in D and I always like the whole food sources so I think I am going to get some as soon as possible, thanks!

Hey, I just read something on one of the articles on D that I found and thought I would share it, it said

Individuals who have reduced ability to absorb dietary fat (fat malabsorption) may need extra vitamin D because it is a fat soluble vitamin. Some causes of fat malabsorption are pancreatic enzyme deficiency, Crohn

And now that summer is getting started, don't forget to get out in the sunshine (sans sunblock) for a few minutes a day for additional vit D production.

Yes, good point, one article I read mentioned the medical field noticing an increase in lack of Vit D due to extensive use of sunblock. Saying giving your skin at least 15 minutes of sun a day is needed for the skin to produce D.

I was always told to expose the bare skin of the face, hands, and forearms for 15 minutes four times a week to avoud vitamin D deficiency. It is not long enough to get sun damage. It does help the mood to improve, too! Sunlight, sunlight, in my soul today!

I also have to mention that I noticed that I get muscle cramping after staying inside because of rain. My cramps cleared up with additional sunshine and supplements. :D

I am definitely going to have to try it. The last two years have been agony on my joints!

Hi Dessa,

I was wondering if you knew anything about the joint pain associated with celiac disease. When I did research on fibromialgia, I read where the joint pain was

Yes, Thomas, I had heard of that. Sadly, my joints are damaged by arthritis. The doctor ran blood tests, and found way more of the osteoarthritis proteins than a woman my age should have (according to her, anyway!). I had been told by a different doctor that I have rheumatoid arthritis, but the proteins are not in my bloodwork. Since I do not feel like I am getting aggressive treatment from my doctor, I am looking for whatever I can do to help myself. I tried glucosamine, but my joints really swelled bad and I was in extreme pain. I do not understand the reaction, but the pharmacist said it could have been an allergic reaction to shell fish. I don't have the bottle, and I can't remember the brand, so I don't even know if it was made of shellfish! I just want to feel better all over!

Hi Dessa,

I've been using Now Foods glucosamine with some good results. Their glucosamine does come from shell fish, and the odds are that the glucosamine you took was from shell fish. There are some other products out there now that are not from shell fish. Maybe one of these might work for you. One problem with glucosamine is that it is a sugar, so if you have diabetes it could present a problem.

      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!
