Joint Popping And Muscle Twitching?

Thanks nvsmom and janpell.

 

I usually feel my best when I haven't eaten for several hours. I'm on a mission to gain weight though, so I've been eating as often as possible. Usually when I finish a meal, I feel it in the wrists first. Some days are better than others, but the popping is always there even on the good days. I've gotten to the point that I don't expect answers, but I still hope for them. :)

I know this is an old post but I'm having very similar issues. I'm 37 going on 38 and didn't have anything beside ankles cracking until this summer. Now it's knees, shoulders, just when turning my steering wheel, neck, back, hip, wrist, all popping and cracking a lot. Also have joint and muscle pain. I've been to numerous specialist and they can't find a cause. I'm wondering if it could be gluten. Have you had any change with this?

There are links between osteoporosis and celiac disease. I would brush up on all of the secondary effects of untreated celiac disease and find a doctor who will test you for osteoporosis as well as the other major diseases that are linked from an unaltered diet of someone suffering with celiac.

Hi, I'm also having the same symptoms - joint popping and muscle twitching. It was limited to ankles first and then has spread to full body (both the twitching and joint popping). I started having dandruff too. Not only me but both my parents, brother and a new born.. everyone caught this AT THE SAME TIME!! I'm thinking if it could be related to parasites. There are no other symptoms otherwise. Had some tests done but nothing comes up. 

 

Can any of you guys please update me on this? 

Thank you!!

Welcome to Celiac.com Popeye. This is an older topic so you might want to start a fresh one to avoid confusion. Having said that you should look at diet or environmental changes. Are you and your family eating gluten or been tested for Celiac Disease? The symptoms could fit the profile. Palmitic Acid is an omega 6 that is added to feed to increase production, notably in dairy and beef. Are you eating a western style diet? Is is unnaturally high in omega 6 and very inflammatory.

A good source of omega-6 fatty acids, every slice of whole wheat bread contains a total of 0.4 grams of omega-6. In addition, a large portion of the omega-6 in whole wheat bread comes from linolenic acid - the only essential omega-6 fatty acid.   https://www.soupersage.com/nutrition-calories-protein/whole-wheat-bread

      Thanks to everybody for your help. I reread the dr's notes from the biopsy procedure and it seems I had worse than atrofied villi. It was termed flattened mucosa. So while iron ferratin levels are normal my bet is, as kitty alluded to, iron not getting into cells. I have dr appointment next mo but don't hold out a lot of hope, There is strong correlation of low red blood cells and insomnia so at least I finally solved that one after few yrs of being mislead. I intend to take stop taking 100 mg b1 at noon time and start 150 mg benfotiamin. I may or may not add the the 100 mg b1evening meal. BTW, last night had 1/3 lb beef. potato then 2 bowls cereal and an apple later in the eve. I generally do my areobics before supper so maybe that contributes to the hunger.

      I have osteoporosis and have crushed three vertebrae.  I supplement with Lysine, Tryptophan, threonine, calcium, Boron, Vitamins D, A, and K, and the B vitamins (folate, B12, and Thiamine B1 especially for bone health).   I tried Fosomax, but it tore up my insides.  I prefer the supplements.  I feel better and my bones feel stronger.   References: A composite protein enriched with threonine, lysine, and tryptophan improves osteoporosis by modulating the composition and metabolism of the gut microbiota https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41915427/

      @Aileen Cregan, I was put on high blood pressure medication, too. But I was able to correct my high blood pressure by supplementing with Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  I am no longer on high blood pressure medication.  I feel much better without the medication. I continue to supplement Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine.   The particular high blood pressure medication I took was Norvasc (amlodipine), which causes thiamine deficiency by blocking thiamine transporters so that thiamine cannot enter cells.  Benfotiamine can get into cells by merging with the cell membrane, thus bypassing nonfunctional thiamine transporters.   Indapamide also blocks thiamine transporters! The use of this type of medications that block thiamine precipitated Wernickes Encephalopathy.  My doctors did not recognize the connection to Thiamine deficiency.  I nearly died.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing with Benfotiamine, a fat soluble form of thiamine that bypasses thiamine transporters.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to check your thiamine levels asap.  Routine blood tests for thiamine are not an accurate measure of  thiamine in the body.   Absorption of essential vitamins like Thiamine is altered in Celiac Disease due to damaged villi, inflammation and dysbiosis.  The Gluten Free diet can be lacking in vitamins and minerals.  Discuss supplementing with all the eight B vitamins,  the four fat soluble vitamins and necessary minerals. Please keep us posted on your progress!

      Hi, @Sue7171, I thought you might be interested in this article about Lyme disease and the discussion after the article.   I found this article enlightening.  The finding that not only can alpha gal be problematic, but advantageous infection with Staph aureus can be problematic.   The Acari Hypothesis, VII: accounting for the comorbidity of allergy with other contemporary medical conditions, especially metabolic syndrome https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11983536/
