Joint Pain

[MariaDav]

I am in my late twenties and was recently diagnosed with celiac (both the endoscopy and the blood test). As I started the gluten free diet, I began to develop other symptoms that I didn't have before. Before my diet, I often experienced fatigue and my stomach felt uncomfortable after eating anything. Since starting my diet, my legs are often sore and sometimes to the point of not being able to stand anymore. I also get frequent headaches and sometimes feel dizzy and lightheaded. I still occasionally get the "grumbling" feeling in my stomach. I have only been on the diet for four months, but I want to know if my symptoms are "normal" or something that I should be worried about. Thank you!

Yes i had those symptoms. A full vitamin panel is helpful. Once i stopped processed food i missed out on added vitamins. Mix that will poor absorption and i had malnutrition even worse. Tip is to start with single vitamins not multi. Fewest additives possible. I loke brands like NOW, Life Extension, Solgar, Bulk Vitamin Powders. Liquid firms can be helpful.. I get mine at Amazin or Drugstore.com. also check for MTHFR gene to see if toy need the lmethyfolate. The Folic acid can be an issue. Sane for forms if b6 and b12. I cant metabolize the regular and need the methky firms. After 10 years i still do supplements but my gi is healed and could get by without since i absorb my nutrients now. I can take years. For tumny trouble i drank pure ginger tea after each meal. I did not have enough acud abd found a tablespoon of flax seed oil coated my tummy too. Healing takes time but it is happening.
