It is normal. I have a lot of bone pain as well. And the muscles in the backs of my legs are often sore. This is a daily thing. It is hard but things will get better. Give it time.

My advice also is give it time. You should stick with. Eat healthy, balanced gluten-free meals and in time you should feel better.

GL and hang in there.

I have big time pain in my hips. Some days I can barely walk. I used to race walk and would like to get back to it but right now it is not feasible with the pain.

I have hip pain that is especially bad in the morning. Sometimes it hurts to just roll over. The worst, though, is the neck pain that I get right at the base of my skull. That used to be horrible before I was Dx--it would be worse lying down and in the morning. Since being gluten-free, that is slowly improving.

Kim-

What kind of pain exactly? I think you wrote insane--so if the pain is excruitating and is affecting your ability to do everyday things or work, you should see a doctor. I deal with chronic pain due to Fibromyalgia, but I am able to continue my life and manage it with pain relieving techniques at home.

I get a lot of pain in my joints. It is so bad sometimes that I have trouble walking. And I also walk up and down stairs all day long and carry a backpack that is about 20 pounds. I am exhausted by the end of the week. I know how you guys feel and it is really stinky :( .

Does anyone take anything for it like tyleno or motrin?

Thank you

Before being diagnosed, I was in bed most of the day due to my unbelievable bone and muscle pain. I was seeing a rheumatologist, in particular for my severe spinal pain. I had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, also.

Once I went gluten-free, it was an improvement!! It took me a few months to "heal" and not have the everday pain. Now, I am ok. If I eat any gluten (miniscule amounts, like from cross contamination), the bone pain comes back. As long as I am 100% gluten-free, I don't have any symptoms of arthritis or fibro (luckily). I now know that I was misdiagnosed with various issues on my way to being diagnosed with Celiac. However, others like JenVan, have pain beyond the Celiac. Since you have only been gluten-free for a couple of weeks, I would see how your symptoms improve with the gluten-free diet. Then, re-evaluate and potentially look for other diagnoses.

I sure hope you feel better-I know that the pain can make you miserable. Unfortunately, nothing helped my pain (tylenol/advil, etc. or various arthritis drugs). The only two things that gave me momentary relief were hot baths and strong massages.

Yeah, those seem to be the celiac sore spots: shoulder blades, neck, hips/lower back/almost glute area.

I am six months out and still have trouble, but it has gotten better since cutting out dairy. Yoga helps me as well. I do take tylenol a lot. Just don't take Ibuprofen. I got a tempupedic pillow also.

I too get pain..somedays like today my elbow burns

julie, the spots you mention are also fibro spots..funny how many ppl with celiac have fibro..I'm one myself, was diagnosed 4 years ago..makes you wonder if it really is..like IBS, fibromyalgia is another "disease" doctors diagnose when they can't find anything else wrong.

I'm hoping as I heal my body pain will get better

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.
