@bold-95, welcome to the forum. Rib pain can be caused by Chondritis, an inflammation of the cartilage in the ribcage or breastbone. Vitamin D deficiency causes this condition and Osteopenia.

Luke warm bath (deep) with a handful of Epsom salts, and bath for about 20 minutes. Be careful getting out of the bathtub, the magnesium (Epsom salts) can make you feel a bit woozy. I've suffered from costochondritis, might be what you have? I find rest very helpful, and avoid any foods that bloat you as this can put added pressure on the ribcage. -

Cartilage and rib pain.
Are you saying that celiac causes you rib pain? Or that your ribs are fragile due to being celiac? Or that the vitamins you take act as an analgesic, and that OTC pain-relievers do not work for you? I don't understand the connection.

@bold-95, welcome to the forum. Rib pain can be caused by Chondritis, an inflammation of the cartilage in the ribcage or breastbone. Vitamin D deficiency causes this condition and Osteopenia. Celiac disease damages the lining of the small intestine, making absorption of nutrients like vitamins difficult. Nutritional deficiencies result. Diseases can be caused by not having enough of certain vitamins and minerals. Vitamins are chemical compounds that our bodies cannot make, so we must get them from food or supplements. Vitamins are crucial to our bodies functioning properly. Eating a nutritionally dense diet is important, but to correct nutritional deficiencies, supplemental vitamins are needed. Over the counter pain relievers like NSAIDs and PPIs can cause additional inflammation and damage to the small intestine. OTC pain relievers worked for me but they hurt my digestive system worse. Yes, Cobalamine Vitamin B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 have an analgesic effect when taken together. I'm leaving links below so you can see for yourself. Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/#:~:text=Disregarding pain resulting from vitamin,three are given in combination.
