Sure!  For me it is old age.  I noticed this area hurt, when I walked up a steep hill right at the start of my walk.  Told hubby we need to stay flat until we are warmed up.  😊

well that went away...  but I have some small muscle spasms mainly in my legs / calf area and feels like little ants pinching me sometimes...

I talked with Azure, another member here and he said he experienced the same pinching sensations when he was diagnosed but all over his body..

I've been dealing with awful muscle pain and joint pain for years, part of Celiacs. Someone suggesting taking Bromelian supplements for that and seems to work! I was taking Ibuprofen daily and I've been able to ween off that taking the Bromelian. Something to be aware of though, I had a terrible pain that ran the full length of my upper thigh, lasted weeks and just seemed to get worse. Then got a terrible UTI, went to the Instacare and told doc I also had this awful pain, and he said it was part of the overall body infection. So, to be on the safe side, maybe you should go see the doc and make sure you don't have an infection going on, this pain was different than the "regular" joint pain stuff I get. Hope you do better! ; )

High doses of really good turmeric can help with inflammation that may be causing your pain.  It's used for people with rhumatoid arthritis.  I take about 2000 mg a day for allergy issues, it really helps with the swelling in sinus tissues, but I find it also helps with aches and pains from aging.  I get it at procapslabs.com, who was into the turmeric way before it became more widely known.  Good Turmeric that is high in circumin is not cheap, but better than prescription drugs, and really works for me.  (I'm female, almost 64, and just shoveled 2 yards of gravel BY MYSELF for a bed for the new garden shed, was careful about twisting and not throwing too far, took some extra turmeric, and got only a few aches after....1 more yard to go!)

Ibuprofen is not gluten free..  and..

In fact, ibuprofen is well known for irritating the gut and can cause stomach ulcers. And now, research suggests ibuprofen could be linked to the development of coeliac disease. ... In people who have a predisposition to coeliac disease, the researchers believe this can lead to adverse reactions to gluten.

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      Probiotics

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
