Welcome to the forum, Ian!

What you describe sounds like it could be tendonitis.

It just started recently and I’m still new to celiac!

While it is true that celiac disease has long fingers, there is a tendency in the celiac community to blame all health issues on celiac disease.

Have you ever had plantar fasciitis (inflammation of the plantar tendon on the bottom of your foot and heel)? The pattern there is for it to be so tender in the morning when you get out of bed that you can hardly walk but it loosens up some during the day as you move around. May I ask what is your age?

Never, and I’m 20. I went to the hospital in November from a celiac attack and from then on it’s been nothing but bad health. I lost about 30 pounds in 2 months and am still recovering and I’ve had a ridiculous amount of symptoms/issues since my last gluten exposure

Just came across your post. I had exactly the same problem after switching to a gluten free diet. My toe hurt so much that I almost couldn't walk. It was a gout attack. I find it interesting that you mention the weight loss. Have read a lot about this, besides a diet change, purines in food, rapid weight loss is often a reason.

Yes, I would get it tested. It sounds like it. When I was in the hospital they could tell me it‘s gout. I changed my diet. Not too much meat. I was worried because of my weight loss from gluten free. I never had it again.

Ian, are you struggling in so far as compliance with the gluten free diet?

I live on a college campus so being able to eat properly is a struggle, it will be better when I can cook for myself though!

Yes, eating gluten free on a college campus would be quite a challenge. Do you eat a central cafeteria on campus? What's the arrangement for meals there?

I'm 71 years old so I know things have changed since I was in university training. Back then we had two or three cafeterias where everyone ate together but the food was cooked in the kitchen and you went through a serving line. It was covered in our tuition. But they were full course meals.

I've had issues with toe cramping in the morning, which, in my case, was likely a magnesium deficiency, as it went away when I began taking magnesium citrate daily.

Gout is a build up of uric acid.  Thiamine helps the body process the uric acid out of the body.  

Try supplementing with Benfotiamine.  It's cleared mine up.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Try adding some Thiamine Hydrochloride (thiamine HCl) and see if there's any difference.  Thiamine HCl uses special thiamine transporters to get inside cells.  I take it myself.   Tryptophan will help heal the intestines.  Tryptophan is that amino acid in turkey that makes you sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner.  I take mine with magnesium before bedtime.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Known1 · Posted

      I live in the upper mid-west and was just diagnosed with marsh 3c celiac less than a month ago.  As a 51 year old male, I now take a couple of different gluten free vitamins.  I have not noticed any reaction to either of these items.  Both were purchased from Amazon. 1.  Nature Made Multivitamin For Him with No Iron 2.  Gade Nutrition Organic Quercetin with Bromelain Vitamin C and Zinc Between those two, I am ingesting 2000 IU of vitamin D per day. Best of luck, Known1

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +
