Foot Pain

I'm wondering if anyone else gets this. It may be completely random but just figured I'd ask and see if anyone else has this happen and maybe it is somehow related to celiac disease.

The last few weeks I suddenly get these intense, sharp shooting pains in my foot, almost like I twisted or sprained the bones in my foot. It only lasts for a few seconds and then its ok again.

like a charlie horse?

I get that sometimes... mostly when i stand up or step down from something like a chair. It is a sharp pain kinda like a charlie horse..on the bottom of my foot. It hurts like crazy for 15sec tops and then goes away. I dont kno if its connected or not...i've only recently noticed it in the last 2yrs.

Actually, yes, I have experienced shooting pains in my feet (left in particular) over the last few weeks...I'm a runner, so I was automatically attributing it to overuse and pounding. I never thought about it being related to my celiac (or anything else). Wow...anyone else?

I've had that, espeically when I've been sitting for some time and then got up. And it also happens a lot when I'm cold.....weird, right?

I actually have hairline fractures in my feet.

I get sharp and excruciating pains in my right foot. I have a broken bone in it that the doc said it would do no good to fix, and I have RA and OA, so I think that my pain is just a progression of the diseases combined with the break.

Yeah it's kinda like a charlie horse, but not really. It's that same concept of sharp shooting pain, but it not like a tightening of the muscle like you feel with a charlie horse. It feels more like someone is twisting my bones. And yeah it will be an intense pain for like 15 seconds or so and then back to normal.

It's not something I really plan on going to the doctor about or anything, but I was curious to see if anyone else gets this. Guess I'm not alone. ;)

      It looks like "mannite" is another name for "mannitol": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannitol You are correct that it can trigger IBS-like symptoms, as we recently did an article on this: I'm not sure if there is a way around this, as it is likely needed for the test. Perhaps contact your doctor to see if there might be an alternative?

      Oral drink: You will be given a solution of mannitol mixed with water to drink over a period of about 30-60 minutes this is what it says it is ,?

      Brilliant thankyou for the information I will contact them tomorrow, I was just concerned because I'm already in a bowel flare too , and I didn't want to take anything that would cause me more issues , especially with the way sweeteners make be feel I've had a really bad throat from this type of stuff before , and it upsets my digestive system too and I have a wedding in a week 😳

      There is no scientific evidence to suggest that hydrated silica or its relative, silicon dioxide, triggers a celiac-specific immune response or causes intestinal damage in individuals with the condition. The concern you likely encountered online is a common misconception. Here’s the key distinction: the protein in gluten (gliadin) is what causes the autoimmune reaction in celiac disease. Hydrated silica and silicon dioxide are minerals, chemically inert compounds of silicon and oxygen, and are completely unrelated to gluten proteins. They are widely used as abrasives in toothpaste and anti-caking agents in food powders because they are stable and non-reactive. While any individual can have a unique sensitivity to any substance, there is no mechanism by which these silica compounds would mimic gluten or exacerbate celiac disease. Your diligence in using a certified gluten-free toothpaste is the correct and most important step, as it eliminates the risk of cross-contamination with wheat-derived ingredients like starch. Based on current scientific understanding, the hydrated silica in your toothpaste is not an issue for your celiac management.

      There is no single "best" probiotic brand universally recommended for celiac disease. The goal of a probiotic in this context is to help support the gut microbiome, which can be disrupted by the damage caused by gluten exposure. The most important factor is not the brand name, but ensuring the product is certified gluten-free, as some probiotics use wheat-derived starches or are produced in facilities that handle gluten, posing a cross-contamination risk. Furthermore, the specific strains of bacteria can matter; some research suggests strains like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium may be beneficial, but individual responses vary greatly. Because the supplement industry is not tightly regulated, choosing a reputable brand that undergoes third-party testing for purity and potency is key.
