Coeliac back pain

[Peter D.]

Hi,

I was diagnosed  with celiac disease 2 months ago (after a year of suffering) and have been on gluten free diet since then. My symptoms, however, do not seem to disappear. My worst symptoms are severe back pain (mainly right side, i cant recongize if that is muscle or bone related), it is like stabbing and spasms. I also have pain in the mid backbone. It usally goes right to the chest + abdominal discomfort. What is strange to me is that the pain is worse during daytime, when moving. Night time is all right and the pain does not distrub me while sleeping.

Does anyone have a similar problem? Hope it is celiac related.

Thanks,

Peter

Two months after my celiac disease diagnosis, I fractured two vertebrae doing nothing.  Turns out I have osteoporosis as a result of having celiac disease.  I had months of pain, numbness and tingling.  Ask your doctor for a bone scan.  

But...two months is a short amount of time to heal from celiac disease.  It takes time to really master the diet which adds to healing time.  

Consider good follow-up testing.

I'm also newly diagnosed and have had some major back pains for years. I had to be persistent with Doctors about getting necessary x-rays and then MRI that showed the problems. Only one of the issues I think might be Celiac related. I have a pars defect on both sides. Which is a small fracture in the facet joints that support the vertebrae. Its very common among young athletes, which I am neither :p, which is why I thought might be Celiac related.

I would definitely start talking to your doctor about this pain if you haven't already. Mine didn't seem to raise any red flags with them until I mentioned the pain sometimes shoots down my leg.

Kind of late to this but my pain symptoms  are like your right side pain under ribs that travels to my bag. Gets better when laying down. Hurts more when I breathe. My guess you are still getting gluten from accidental sources.

Hi Peter, I know this was a long time ago but I  have the exact same back symptoms.  Did you manage to find any answers?
