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

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
