I was diagnosed two years ago and have been following gluten free however, I'm not sure if I am getting hidden gluten when I eat out and this is causing me problems for the last 5 months? I partially tore a bicep hamstring tendon in Jan and it is still not fully healed. From that I have severe muscle soreness in my right arm and hand, even my two middle fingers don't bend! All this pain on my right side only. I have always been active and had no problem with muscle strength, I am a gym rat and I lift weights. I went to a nutritionist and she put me on Metagenics Inflamax which is designed for Celiac patients in mind. I have an appt for a followup with a new gastroenterologist next week. This is really frightening me. I also don't sleep well and in the morning I can hardly move, i ache allow over. anyone have any similar pain?

How much stretching do you do? You need to do lots of it, before and after exercise. It is wise to start and end your day with a stretching routine.

I was Diagnosed about 2 months ago. I try to be very careful and eat GLUTEN Free, (I do not cheat). I have muscle aches and soreness also. It started on my left side, knees, hips neck now it is all over. I went to the Family doctor and she does not know much about Celiac Disease. I talk to the stomach dr and he did not think much about it either. I have also gained about 15 lbs in 1 1/2 months, and he did not think much about that either. I have been going the gym 3 to 4 days a week for 2 years now and have never felt like this. I also have trouble sleeping. I starting to think I am depressed. Not sure what kind of doctor to go to next. Please let me know if you get an answer!!!

Just FYI I had joint aches all over, jaw, wrists, fingers, feet, knees, hips, back, etc... and muscle aches and spasms and tendonitis. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune arthritis called ankylosing spondylitis and put on a drug called sulfasalazine and I'm feeling much, much better!

The way I got diagnosed is I made a list of all the weird little symptoms and things that had been bugging me and went to my doctor. I made the suggestion that I might have an autoimmune condition, they did the blood tests and figured out which one it was. I just knew that I shouldn't be aching and hurting so much and I was right!

I looked up the product you're using and found a website that listed the ingredients which included Natural Flavors. Sometimes natural flavors include gltuen. It is worth calling the company and asking them straight up if their natural flavors are gluten free. Sometimes a product can say that it is free of gluten, but what it really means is that they themselves did not add any gluten...but it might already be present in some other ingredient (like natural flavors).

It is worth a shot to check it out. Let us know what they say

Best of luck.

It could be eating out. I almost always get gluttened when eating out. I just dont' eat out hardly ever! I get fatigue and bone pain when I am gluttened. THis was a MAJOR problem before I found out I had celiac. I was exhausted. I am fine now though. I would try and take a break from eating out for a while and see if you feel better. Hopefully it will pass. I am doing much better now.

I have had muscle pain for most of my life. The pain at times was excruciating. Muscle fatigue did not start affecting me until my early 30's. The most frustrating thing about these symptoms, is that it is hard to figure out the source of the problem. I spent nearly 15 years trying to find a reason for why I could not run more than 50 feet without experiencing muscle failure. I've had emg's, mri's, blood tests, biopsies. What I learned from all of this is that not too many people will listen, and lots of people think it's in our heads. But, finally, someone did and tested me for Celiac disease. I have not had large muscle pain for almost three months after going gluten free. My advice to you is to keep asking the questions and if you do not get the answers to solve the problem, find another doctor. Talk to your doctor about pain and how to manage it. My doctor has helped me with a variety of different options. Good luck! Tara

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      That is the goal, after all.

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine. Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years. Doctor recently said to not stop. My 25(OH)D is around 2...

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      Here is a link to the spreadsheet I kept to track my nutrition intakes. Maybe it will give you ideas. It is not https so browsers may flag a security warning. There is nothing to send or receive. http://doodlesnotes.net/index3.html I tracked everything I ate, used the National Nutrition Database https://www.foodrisk.org/resources/display/...

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true. Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms. There are over 200 that it mimics. Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow. Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad. Idiots. It's easy to get angry at all of them. You just have to pick at the answers until you find...

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.  Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years.  Doctor recently said to not stop.  My 25(OH)D is around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml) but it took about six years to get there.  Increasing vitamin D also increases absorption of Calcium. A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true.  Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms.  There are over 200 that it mimics.  Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow.  Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad.  Idiots.  It's easy to get angry at all of them.   You just have to pick at the answers until you find the ones that work for you.  I too suffer from not being able to take the drugs that work for "everyone else".  SSRIs make me twitch ane feel like toothpicks are holding my eye open, ARBs cripple me.  Statins cause me intestinal Psuedo Obstruction.  Espresso puts me to sleep.  I counted 19 different symptoms that improved from GFD and dealing with my nutritional defecits.  I couldn't breath through my mouth until I started GFD at 64 years old.   My son was born with celiac disease, biopsy diagnosed at weaning.   So why are we the one-percenters.  Why, after being silent for so long, does it suddenly flare? There is the possibility that you have both Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity.  NCGS was not established as a diagnosis until 1980.  NCGS is diagnost by first elimating Celiac Disease as the cause, and showing improvement on GFD.  Nothing says you can't have symptoms from both.  Wheatbelly: Total Nutrition by Dr. Davis was helpful to me. We come to the forum to share what we've learned in dealing with our own symptoms.  Maybe this will help someone. Speaking of which if you don't mind; what is your 25(OH)D vitamin D blood level?  You mentioned a mysterious Calcium issue. Vitamin D, Calcium and Iodine are closely interactive. It is not uncommon for postmenopausal women to have insufficient intake of Iodine.   (RDA): Average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%–98%) healthy individuals; often used to plan nutritionally adequate diets for individuals You are a one-percenter.  You may need higher intake of some essential nutrient supplements to speed up repairing the damages.
