Hi everyone :)

I have some tendon issues for 6 years i m just 30 right now. I was a computer eng. It s started in my both lateral elbows(vit d was 4 in these years), doctors said because of the computer. than started my medial elbows than my knees than my wrists than fingers than my ankles and toes and my all foot. I quit my job. My aaall blood tested are fine. Ca, P, vit D etc levels normal..  There is no clue for roumatoid semptoms. I have no inflammation in my blood and no swelling etc. Doctors just say i ve hypermobility syndrom but actually not that bad. I was looking for solution and found this website. I read here some articles aboud tendonitis and celiac but we re in 2021 now the posts are in 10 years ago :)i Will start to go pilates this week and start a gluten diet but i wonder, is anybody here have same problem and fixed it with a diet? 

thanks much 

Have a healthy days !

You say you have no inflammation in your blood. Not sure what you mean by that. There are specific tests for celiac disease that measure antibodies produced by the disease: https://celiac.org/about-celiac-disease/screening-and-diagnosis/screening/. Have you had any of these tests run. Particularly the tTG-IGA? Before you get too far into eating gluten free, realize that for these tests to be valid you would need to be eating regular amounts of gluten for 6-8 weeks.

I mean some blood tests were done like Crp, rf (i think it measures inflammation of the body ..?) And doctors / i went zillion doctors/ said you dont have something inflammatory. Yesterday i asked for celiac tests to the doctor but he just done ttg , i m waiting for the result. Yes i read this forum that i need to gluten for validation of the test. I ve never tried gluten diet yet. Thank you for your reply

Please feel free to share your ttg test results when you get them. Also, keep in mind that there are two conditions: 1) Celiac disease, which about 1% of people have; 2) Non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which ~10% of people have. 

Currently there is not test for non-celiac gluten sensitivity, so if your tests are negative, you may still want to try a gluten-free diet to see if it helps you.

I got my tests: 

Anti endomisium anticor 2.7 u/ml

Anti gliadin igg 2

Transglutaminase igg 1.7 

But as you said,  i have had gluten free diet for 4 days. If i feel more comfortable i will write here again several months later...        +my b12 levels are always around 200 and b12 is never suggested, because actually its always in its reference value. But some doctors said keep b12 values between 600-1000 , so i will try to elevate it. I dont know and dont think there is a link between b12 levels and tendon problems but i m just trying to find a solution, i hope . 

Thank you.

Can you share the reference levels for each test, as each lab has different cut of levels that denote celiac disease?

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      By PixieSticks · Posted

      Hi yes! I was diagnosed 10 years ago through a biopsy. I’ve been gluten free ever since but no one I’m around is gluten free. I sometimes wore a surgical mask in the kitchen. but I believe particles were still getting through. I’ll definitely look into n95 instead. thanks for the reply.

      Skinesa

      Ya I used to react to iodine, but it doesn't bother me anymore after strict adherence to a gluten-free diet for many years now. I am happy to report that for the first time ever in my life, a probiotic formula is not making me break out, but actually seems to be helping. The strains in this formula have been specifically tested to help with skin issues. It is gluten and dairy free also.

      Feeling ill

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches.  Really works well without hurting the digestive tract.  Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines.  Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Check with your doctor and nutritionist.   If you follow the updated gluten challenge guidelines, you can wait until two weeks (minimum) before your appointment, then eat lots of gluten, like six slices of gluten containing bread or "name your poison".   Here's the Updated Gluten Challenge Guidelines: Recommended intake of gluten should be increased to 10 grams of gluten per day for at least two weeks. Or longer. While three grams of gluten will begin the immune response, ten grams of gluten is needed to get antibody levels up to where they can be measured in antibody tests and changes can be seen in the small intestine.   Keep in mind that there are different amounts of gluten in different kinds of bread and gluten containing foods.  Pizza crust and breads that are thick and chewy contain more gluten than things like cake and cookies.   References: https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/the-gluten-challenge/ And... Evaluating Responses to Gluten Challenge: A Randomized, Double-Blind, 2-Dose Gluten Challenge Trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7878429/?report=reader  "In our study, limited changes in Vh:celiac disease (villi height vs crypt depth - aka damage to the small intestine)  following 14-day challenge with 3 g of gluten were observed, in accordance with Sarna et al.  While the 3 g dose was sufficient to initiate an immune response, as detected by several biomarkers such as IL-2, the 10 g dose was required for enteropathy within the study time frame. Based on our data, we would suggest that gluten challenge should be conducted over longer durations and/or using doses of gluten of ≥ 3 g/day to ensure sufficient histological change can be induced." Keep us posted on your progress!

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I don't believe that existing life insurance policies require such notifications--health checks are typically done before such policies are obtained. I believe it would primarily affect any new policy you get, and perhaps any policy renewal.

      You could go gluten-free now, and then start eating lots of gluten for at least 2 weeks before your endoscopy--just be sure to tell your doctor about this beforehand. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
