I was wondering if any one else noticed that if they eat gluten does things hurt worse like I just found out I have arthritis in my thumbs and I have carpal tunnel and tendonitis in both my arms and hand I keep getting this feeling like the inside of my hand is tearing like the tendons in my palm are ripping so I guess does any one else feel like things get worse or new weird pains in their hands or wrist?

My main gluten symptom is migraine, but that doesn't start until about an hour after eating. My first symptom is often inflammation. I have osteoarthritis in my right knee and very serious nasal sinus allergies. At 15-20 minutes after eating even a small amount of gluten (not on purpose, when the restaurant is not careful enough) my sinus cavity starts to feel like it's filling and expanding and my knee begins to be more sensitive to walk on. At that point I know to take a migraine pill.

Yes, if your issues are with your hands and wrists, I can see gluten causing more pain in them.

I was glutened by extreme carelessness at a restaurant last night and my knee is bothering me. My knee is my inflammation barometer. So your hands hurting makes sense to me.

Thank you the stupid Drs won't listen to me it's driving me crazy like they think I'm imagining it they won't even listen about where it hurts it's like they don't hear me talk and it's not just one Dr it's more like 5 different ones I've seen since December when my hands started hurting bad  one gave me cortisone shots in my wrist for carpal tunnel and arthritis and wow that made it way worse for 6 days the pain was intensified I'm sure it's from getting accidentally glutened like you both said hopefully now I can't stop having accidentally getting gluten one thing I thought was ok and is not is rice I had minute rice it's grown in Texas ate three times over the last three months just found out it's not ok only rice from Thailand is safe because they don't grow anything with gluten in it thank you all for your help if it wasn't for this site I would not be able to do this life so again I just want to say how much I appreciate your reply?

Sounds like you got your answer. I can get knuckle pain, toe pain numbing, my fingers and knuckles and feet also swell with inflammation with cc. So as other said yep- we get many symptoms including hands/knucles/ fingers. My Dr saw once during testing for me the impression my shoe left on my swelling foot. So did my mom. She is a retired nurse. I believe mom was a bit surprised how fast I swelled and that I felt/knew it.

I hope you feel better soon and glad to hear you are sticking with Thai rice. I find quinoa or cauliflower can often be a good fit alternative to rice if you want to switch it up on occasion. 

Best wishes.

      Alcohol

      By Suze046 · Posted

      Hey! I’m recently gluten free and yes I really struggle with alcohol now. I haven’t really drank in 2 months as it just made me feel awful the next day in terms of stomach ache mainly. I’ve had a couple of glasses of white wine here and there (mainly low sulphate) but every time it gives me a gut ache. I think it’s because but guy is so damaged from my journey to discovering my gluten intolerance and hopefully this will improve but honestly I’m just not bothered about having a drink now. I can’t even touch Prosecco or champagne I think the bubbles really upset me!

      Work friends & food

      I just wanted to share my support for you. Rant away. We all know that, and have experiences like that at some point. I am sorry for that very unpleasant, and emotionally isolating reminder of your medical condition. Which always is exacerbated by the hunger. I will admit many of my family friends, and coworkers found it easier to exclude me than to accommodate me. I also have to be very strict with cross contamination so in hindsight they did me a favor.  The sting however can often still be unearthed when I read experiences like yours.  I am sorry you had that occur. I hope you, and the coworkers can find the easy more accommodating experiences again after this unfortunate incident. Best wishes.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Awol cast iron stomach · Posted

      "...hemorrhoids, constipation and diarrhea" . Heard of indeed. Experienced too. In hindsight, I can remember from age 2 having, and trying to convey my issues. I went 38 years misdiagnosed. So yes one can have these issues. I did have to go back on gluten for a gluten challenge. I failed that challenge and 6 days in they give me permission to stop, and I proceed with my scopes as scheduled. Post those 6 days I had gained 13 intolerances. I had to remove many foods, and reintroduce them back in. Nine years later I have two that remain gluten, and corn. I found it helpful to follow a whole foods diet. I also found autoimmune (AIP) protocol diet/recipes, and Paleo diet/recipes helpful. I still enjoy many of those homemade version recipes. I still continue to make my own salad dressings even if I can find a gluten-free store bought version. Fresh taste best to this palate now.  I did give up many grains I was off many and reverted to coconut flour and almond flour as work arounds .  I still remember the first time my gut experienced the reintroduction of quinoa. It wasn't sure if it wanted to flare or not. In 30 minutes it reported back ok this will pass. Many foods were removed post gluten challenge for me for 2 years and 4 months. At the 2 year 4 month mark is when my body said ok let's eat again, but don't ever feed me gluten again! I wish you the best.

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.
