More Bone Pain Post gluten-free..why?


Guest SusieQ

Recommended Posts

Guest SusieQ

I have been gluten free for about 3 to 4 weeks now.

I am now waking up and going thru each day with some new pain. I already had fibromyalgia pain. That doesn't seem as bad, but it is still their...just not as severe I don't think.

However, now I have bone pain in my legs and feet that I didn't have before. I was already figuring out that I must have gluten ataxia which will probably take me months to get over. However, is it normal, common, or even possible to be getting additional severe pain like I'm getting now? I'm having more difficulty walking now then I was having before. I even got my cane out today that I hadn't had to use for a while.

Thanks for any insight.

Celiacs are more likely to have developed osteoporosis the longer we go undiagnosed... so when we are finally dx'ed we still have to deal with weakened bones and other issues... Look into taking some supplements to help (I can't think yet today, not quite awake yet) but I'm sure there are some supplements that might help.

Thanks for the reply. I had a bone density test a year or so ago. It was o.k. Indicated that I should take a supplement though. I was already taking a supplement. It is just that this switch to bone pain was so sudden. I hadn't felt this before. I'm hoping that it is just witdrawal from the gluten, but I hadn't read where anyone else had bone pain like this.

Thanks again for the suggestion. I had forgotten to take the calcium. I'll start back on it.

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat.  In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue.   A wedge pillow will really help with this - or raising the top bed legs with bricks.

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired.  I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years,  I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.
