Is Bone Pain A Symptom Of Celiacs?

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...

      This is FANTASTIC--especially that they are recognising barley and (potentially) oats as sources of gluten/contamination! Now if only we can get labeling guidelines to clarify "spices" and "natural flavors" for those of us with other severe allergies.

      What's your daily meals? Protein bars?

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars. Something to fill since sometimes I feel like not to eat anything. Especially if on vacation and unsure of cross contamination I figure go with a salad and protein...

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated. I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population? Also, I found what you said about N...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Yeast extract

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.
