Other Hypermobiles Anything I Can Do?

Hi, I have posted before about benign hypermobility or Ehlers Danlos. I have the latter. I was glutened last week which causes my joints to swell with fluid. Anyway I have dislocated my feet and/or ankles every night this week. Night before last I had a hard time getting my ankle back in place so had a pretty miserable day yesterday. It finally snapped back late yesterday evening. Does anyone know of a way to prevent this other than the obvious avoidance of the demon gluten? Is there anything I can do to quicken the dispursal of this fluid. I am kind of grasping at straws here. I don't sleep well wrapped up like a mummy in ace bandages :(

Just posted to your other post about EDS. I have no connection that I have noticed to gluten & dislocating. However, my son has to wear smo & dafo braces to keep his knees from dislocating. I have been so used to it all my life I just pop myself back in & go. Best of luck & as I have to tell myself on many days... Don't get glutened!

Hi. Sorry you're having troubles. You might want to see a podiatrist to see if you would benefit from orthotics for your shoes. They really help keep everything supported. Once you're doing a little better it's important to have very good posture and to strengthen the muscles supporting your joints. I had physical therapy to show me the correct postures and exercises. You have to be careful about stretching, as I'm sure you've discovered. Good luck and get better soon. x

I'm sorry you have had such a bad time. I hope you are feeling better. I get a lot of fluid retention around my joints. I always thought it was from the fibromyalgia. Anyway, when it gets bad I guzzle iced tea or hot tea--maybe 4-5 glasses/cups ( or more depending on how bad it is) in the morning/afternoon and by evening after all the bathroom trips, it goes down. I know tea is a natural diuretic and if you're like me, you don't want anymore drugs than necessary. I hope that helps. I usually drink decaf or 1/2 and 1/2 to avoid too much caffeine.

Thank you all for your replies. Things are finally getting a bit better. I did up my fluid intake a bit it seems to help clear the toxin out a bit faster and keeps my pee from burning as much. I also decided to see if my orthonics people can make me soft braces to help keep my foot and ankle bones in place. I switched GP after my diagnosis and haven't seen him since I 'introduced' him to celiac (my gosh 3 years with no dr. visits!), can't wait to see his face when I ask for this referral. Guess I'll wear a dress so I can demonstrate the backward bending knees easier :D .

Thanks again everyone.

      The AIP diet is meant to reduce inflammation and allow healing.  If you go back to eating inflammatory foods, the intestines are going to get inflamed again. Lactose intolerance and a reaction to Casein, a protein in dairy that resembles the protein gluten, can cause continuing inflammation. Are you eating a nutrient dense diet?  Do you eat gluten free processed foods?  Do you take vitamins and minerals?  Essential vitamins and minerals can become low in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption and a diet full of empty calories and high fat from gluten free processed foods.

      10 years ago, when I did the Celiac panel, I also did other tests that showed the following results (this is before gluten-free diet): Antithyroglobulin antibody: 177 (ref: 0-0.9) Thyroid peroxidase antibody: 10 (ref: 0-34) Reverse T3: 34 (ref: 9.2-24.1) A1C normal Vitamin D, magnesium, iron normal T3, T4, and TSH were all within normal range. Therefore I could not have been diagnosed as having hashimoto's thyroiditis. Also, as of a few months ago, my T3, T4 and TSH are all within normal range, therefore I cannot be clinically diagnosed as having a thyroid condition. In the past 10 years, my TSH, T3 and T4 have always been within "normal" range, but my thyroglobulin antibodies have always been high, thus indicating an autoimmune process occurring within my thyroid, and we all know that we cannot have an autoimmune condition without having a leaky gut. Thyroglobulin antibodies dropped from 177 10 years ago down to around 40-90 around the time I was doing AIP, but in my most recent test in 2021, it's higher than ever before, at 240.  Thus, my ongoing thyroid antibodies prove that I have a leaky gut 10 years after going gluten-free, and that in my case, a strict gluten-free diet for 10 years has not stopped my leaky gut. I have ruled out diabetes via A1C tests over the years; my most recent A1C a few months ago showed no pre-diabetes or diabetes.

      Glad you’ve found a solution! Smelling your food probably gets your salivary glands going.  Saliva contains an enzyme (amylase) that starts breaking down the starch that you eat.

      The magnification when the biopsy is observed under a microscope is greater than that of the endoscope.  So yes, the biopsy might be positive when nothing was seen during the endoscopy. I hope you get a clear cut answer!
