Painful Cysts in breasts disappeared

After going gluten free for 2 weeks, (i had a few slips)the painful , hard lumps in my breasts disappeared. I could feel some soft lumps that are not painful. 

The lumps have been around for at least 1 year. They changed a little with my menstrual cycle, but they never disappeared before my gluten free diet.  I am 21 years old.

My skin has cleared up as well.

After elimination of gluten, whenever i reinttoduce some gluten into my meals, i have stomach reflux immediately and lower abdominal cramps 2 days later. 

If you have related experiences, you are more than welcome to share !

This is a symptom that I've not heard to be associated with celiac disease and going gluten-free. Did you see a doctor and have a monogram or other scan done to be sure the lumps are not something more serious? I would advise doing this no matter what.

Jean, are you "reintroducing gluten into your meals" on purpose?

Do you have an official diagnosis of celiac disease or some other gluten-related medical condition?

I didnt do a mammogram, but i will  consult a doctor if the cysts should reappear. Thanks for the advice.

Yes, on purpose.

No, I dont have an official diagnosis of Celiac disease. I do have mild erosive esophagitis, lactose intolerance, as well as an elevated ESR (reason unknown). Struggled with troubling constipation before.

It would make sense for you to get a blood screening for celiac disease, but you'd need to eat gluten daily for ~6 weeks beforehand for the test to be accurate.

Jean,

Usually an Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate aka ESR is a sign of inflammation in your body....from something....

It might be gluten it might be a virus or something else etc...

A high ESR can tell you have inflammation going on in the body…but not from what….you might want to follow up with a C Reactive Protein test aka CRP or even an ANA down the road…depending on what further testing shows...

However, there is at least one study stay says a high ESR responds to a gluten free diet.

See this study entitled "ELEVATION OF THE ESR AND ITS RESPONSE TO A GLUTEN-FREE DIET"

https://journals.lww.com/ajg/fulltext/2004/10001/celiac_disease__elevation_of_the_esr_and_its.191.aspx

It is 15+ years old so either the doctor's have forgot about it....or it is not "New" enough for them to consider....

Here is a nice overview of the difference between an elevated ESR and a elevated C Reactive Protein test....without being over technical.....technical but not too! technical...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4653962/

you might want to follow have your doctor follow up with a C Reactive Protein test aka CRP.

Your doctor should probably do a follow up test of both the ESR and CRP next time….to see if your CRP is elevated….an indication that the inflammation has gone back down…

In general terms as far I understand it....ESR rates can stay elevated for a period of time….say 2 months or more…

But a high CRP means that it is current inflammation….in the last week or two (Maybe as short as the last 48 to 72 hours)….an indication the inflammation is currently happening....

I used to have an elevated CRP......but it has since gone down.

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      Celiac getting dentures

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
