Welcome to the forum, Fred C!

My what? I think you left out a key word.

I personally have gone through allergy desensitization shot therapy but it has been more than 20 years ago.

I also went through allergy shots for years, but it was more than 30 years ago. It started out in my allergists office where I would have to get the shots administered the first couple of time where they monitored my reactions and heart rate, then I could give myself the two shots a day at home for a few weeks until they increased the serums, then I'd have to do it again in the office the first few times.

Over time this process did help with my allergies, although the chronic nasal congestion issues, which was my worst symptom, did not go away until I discovered my celiac disease and went gluten-free.

I have many problems and wondered if they could have been from the allergy shots. My problems started about the same time I started the shots. I was just wondering if anyone else might have the same thoughts. I started getting chronic pain in my joints with lots of popping. I also started having stomach issues. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and I am going to a gastroenterologist to try and figure out what is going on there. I am now 50 and have been dealing with all these problems since about age 25.

Have you been tested for celiac disease?

I doubt the shots themselves could cause joint issues, but undiagnosed celiac disease or gluten sensitivity certainly could.

      Feeling ill

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Your feelings are completely valid, and I want to commend you for advocating for yourself despite the initial resistance from your doctor. Navigating a new celiac diagnosis can feel overwhelming, especially when you're adjusting to such a big lifestyle change. It’s natural to grieve the loss of your old eating habits and to feel frustrated by the constant label-reading and vigilance required. But please know that you are not alone, and many others have walked this path and come out stronger on the other side. Healing takes time, and while the brain fog, fatigue, and bowel symptoms can be discouraging, they often improve as your body begins to recover. It’s great that you’ve hired a dietitian—that’s a big step in supporting your healing journey and ensuring you’re getting the nutrients your body needs to rebuild. Remember, each small step you take is progress, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. It’s okay to feel sad and angry, but also try to give yourself credit for your strength in facing this. The fact that you pushed for answers shows how resilient you are. While the road ahead may have challenges, many people find that over time, they feel better than they ever imagined possible once their gut begins to heal. You’ve got this, and the celiac community is here to support you every step of the way. If you have time, this book was published on Celiac.com's and you might find it helpful: Also, 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.):

      Welcome to the forum, @Whyz! By "half way to being diagnosed" I assume you mean you have had the blood antibody testing done but not the gastroscopy with biopsy. Is this correct? Were the results of your blood work positive for celiac disease?

      Three days of no gluten is not likely to have much impact on serum antibody test results. I have more concern over exactly what test or tests were ordered. When you get the results back, please post them including the reference ranges for the tests for negative vs. positive. What country are you in? Do you have much choice in what doctors you see? Sounds like it might be a good idea to seek out another physician who knows what they are doing in this area of disease diagnosis. At any rate, you have the link I shared above outlining the various tests that can be run so that might be a resource you could share with a physician.
