LEG PAIN?

gluten-free BIKER CHICK

I have been gluten-free for over 3 years.  Over the past year I am getting severe legs pain, to achiness in my legs.  I have mentioned it to my doctor several times and he just blows it off as from the type of job I have (Sales Rep-sitting) or the walking I do every day.  I was just curious if any one else is experiencing this?

If you have celiac disease, ask your doctor for follow-up testing to see if your antibodies are elevated.  This can help determine if you dietary compliant and if celiac disease might actually be the cause of your leg pain.  

Regardless of your reason for going gluten free, your symptoms should have resolved by now.  I would consider seeing another doctor.    Your doctor does not seem to take you seriously.  Sitting, even for long periods, and walking should not cause leg pain.  

I hope you feel better soon.

Not sure how it works in your state, but here you can go directly to a physical therapist. I'd check to see if my hip was out (sacroiliac?).

Thanks all.  I do have hip pain as well...Everything needs a referral to do any service here in NY.  You may be right about changing doctors.  I feel like my dr doesn't think food allergies are serious.  It's been a rough road.  Horrible insurance leads to misdiagnosis!!

Leg and hip pain can also be referred pain from your back. I've had on and off hip pain for years, really bad persistent back pains, and occasionally have pain shoot down the back of my right leg too. Finally got x-rays for all as well as lower back mri and ct for back. My hips were fine but back I have severe disc degeneration, moderate bulging disc, moderate foraminal stenosis, and pars defect on both sides, the likely culprits for hip pain and occasional leg pains. Doctors said a lot times people have all the above back problems I have but don't know it or don't have pain from it.

Aside from making sure I’m 100% gluten free. I actually see a chiropractor as well to help with my aches and pains that I have. It’s very helpful and the doctor I see has special training with nutrition/supplements. She has been awesome since my diagnosis. Sometimes it’s better to see a doctor that believes in a more holistic approach :)

      glutenfreedrugs.com

      By JoeBlow · Posted

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Beverage · Posted

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By Beverage · Posted

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!
