Is Bone Pain A Symptom Of Celiacs?


Tara-Leann

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! 

  I'm new to this site, so forgive me if there has already been topics about this... My grandma and older sister have recently been diagnosed with celiacs disease, so the idea is relatively new to our family, and my mom is starting to connect some of her symptoms to it so she thinks she may have it as well. I have yet to be tested, but I read that it is a hereditary disease, and there are symptoms of it that I have so I think I might have it as well...

 I wanted to check with people who know more about it, is bone pain a symptom? I read there are many different symptoms, so I wasn't sure. Towards the end of this school year (My jr. year, I'm 18) I would have sudden bone pain in my left femur when I was walking around the school hallways. Then it was my femur, the rest of my leg bones, and my hip, and then the right side leg, and now even my feet bones and ankles! It would flair up when walking to the point where I had to limp. Now I've been doing summer school PE ( make-up credits for not being in the public school system freshman year :P ) and it's gotten worse. Now my bones hurt even when I'm just sitting down and relaxing. And when I'm trying to run in PE, it'll come suddenly and I feel like I'll fall flat on my face because my legs/hips don't feel like they'll support me. Sometimes it's just specific spots in the leg/hip/ankles that will flare up suddenly and painfully, and the rest of the time they'll all just be dull, uncomfortable aches. 

Has this happened to anyone?  I'm not totally gluten free yet, my family hasn't made the switch over all the way, we're still working on it. I have a doctors appt. scheduled in July... But I wanted to check with other people about this so I can bring up Celiacs disease as a possible reason. 

Sorry about the length! Thanks so much for your help!

there are about 300 or so symptoms of celiac disease. Please do not stop eating wheat before being tested in July. IF you have already stopped eating gluten before, your testing is worthless & a waste of insurance money. You need to be consuming a large amount of gluten for proper testing results...plus you may not have celiac disease but be gluten sensitive. There is no test for that but an elimination diet...

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Yes, i pulled raw ancetry data and saw i have 2/3 markers for DQ2.2 but have heard from friends in genetics that this raw data can be wildly innacurate

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
