I was just diagnosed if February with celiac disease. I have had all the typical classic symptoms through out my entire life, so you can imagine the relief I felt when there was finally an answer to what seemed to others as my chronic ailments and complaining. Im currently doing well on the diet. I was working with a sports dietitian from the Olympic Training Center in CO this past fall which is what oddly enough led to my initial diagnosis. I am a Traithlete as well as a Coach and the day to day management of my celiac disease can vary so widely depending on...my activity, diet, energy but more importantly my Pain levels!!!! I recently went on a ride with a friend who has Chrohns Disease, he mentioned that he was being given Humara injections for pain management but does not have RA. Im tempted to get tested for RA but don't know if it will be of any great significance given that the symptoms are not much different than those of celiac disease. Im curious if any one of you has been given or heard of Humara being given to individuals with celiac disease and what was your or theirs Experience. I don't want to give up competing but the pain is literally debilitating at times particularly after long training sessions and I can lose several days of training as a result.
