Hi

I am new to this forum and indeed celiac, diagnosed 3 months ago, I have been on a gluten free diet since and a lot of my previous symptoms have disappeared which is like a new lease of life but I am really suffering with bone/muscle pain and aches. I've been researching on the internet and now thinking is it Nightshade food causing the problem ( I was previously able to eat these foods with no problem)or perhaps leaky gut, just don't know. Back to GP tomorrow but don't hold out much hope as GPs wont sent me for any allergy testing and I cant bear the thought of bring prescribed pain killers instead of getting to the root of the problem. Cold be vitamin D deficiency but I take over the recommended dose daily so not sure if that's connected. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you for reading this

B-vitamins, and Magnesium are common issues for this in deficiencies, look them up and see if they seem to ride in with any other symptoms you have. I have suggestions on brands and dosing that I swear by if interested.

It could also be a inflammatory reaction to a food like you were thinking. Keep a food dairy writing down everything that you consume and how you feel hours later.

Welcome to the board. Bone and muscle pain are not uncommon with celiac. Neither are other intolerances. The food diary Ennis suggested can help you figure out a pattern. In some cases intolerances can be delayed so it might not be a food you ate right before the pain that got you. The diary can help you pinpoint a pattern. Without one I would have never realized that my intolerance to soy protein was contributing to my discomfort. I found a simple OTC anti-inflammatory to help a great deal along with gentle stretching after a good hot shower or bath. if the pain is related to celiac it can take some time to improve. It was about 6 months before I got a good deal of relief. If you haven't already do check the Newbie 101 thread at the top of the Coping section. It has a lot of good info on what all we need to do to be safe.

Thank you very much for your advice, much appreciated, interesting that soy was a contributing factor to your discomfort, I started eating soy base products about 3 months ago, not that this is a factor for me but certainly cant rule that out either, but thanks again, hopefully things will get better

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      You state in an earlier post that you don't have celiac disease. Here in this post you state you will "be doing another test". What will this test be looking for? What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.
