Pain In Elbow Joint Area


Trymester

So, does anyone here get pain like in their elbows? Or like in that area? I'm wondering if it might be because I have reduction in muscle (a.k.a. padding), but I'm not sure why. Anyone else?

I'm not sure if this is the right forum so please feel free to move it if it isn't.

Maybe? I'm probably not the best to say. Are you asking about the pain as a celiac/gluten symptom or as a non-related pain?

This might not be what you are feeling, but I had elbow pain in the form of cubital tunnel syndrome, typified by tingling in the pinky. It was treated as if it was Carpal Tunnel. I took the arms off of my office chair. I was told to expect repeated surgery eventually. I was treated for a few months, but the pain resolved 90% or better when I started the GFD. I discussed this with Dr. Fine years ago and he mentioned autoimmune inflammation of the tendons. It would flare up from time to time on the GFD and I wondered if it was an indicator of being "glutened", but in the end I think it associates more with a big carbohydrate load in the lower GI.

So, does anyone here get pain like in their elbows? Or like in that area? I'm wondering if it might be because I have reduction in muscle (a.k.a. padding), but I'm not sure why. Anyone else?

I had very tender joints and sesitive skin. Four weeks on diet and all of that is gone now. If I even banged my arm or leg it would hurt really bad.

Okay, I'm just going to throw out some guesses here for you to investigate. Tendon pain anywhere in your body can be caused by a misbehaving thyroid (so you might wish to get your thyroid tested), or it could mean that you're deficient in zinc, manganese, and/or silicon, since these all support tendon health. I recently suffered from these deficiencies, and the bones in my feet suffered from numerous stress fractures because the tendons had gotten too floppy to support them. Please note that it can be harmful to take too much zinc or manganese, so you might wish to get your levels tested first. I can recommend Bio-Sil for the silicon--great product!

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.

      Thank you! What do you recommend in the next 7 weeks until I see my Doctor?  Just start my Gluten free diet?

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
