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.

I was thinking gout because my toes were swollen and my mom has a history of gout thank you for the response!

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.

Good to know thank you!

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

Ian frakes Rookie

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.

      I did a test already not exactly sure if it was the right one the doctor I went to at first refused to give me the test but i evantail convinced him but he wasnt exactly sure what test to do. I didn't eat gluten on sunduy monday tuesday and i had the test on thursday. Is it possible the test will still be accuret

      I was just thinking this same thing - requesting repeat testing prior to giving up gluten. Makes sense. Thanks!

      Since you're having a last hurrah with gluten, request another round of blood tests for celiac antibodies.  Make sure you're eating ten grams or more daily for those few weeks before your capsule endoscopy.  You probably weren't eating a sufficient amount of gluten needed to provoke sufficient antibody production.

      Hello all I am taking some time out from work today to make my annual Christmas cake along the lines of a tried and tested English recipe which means a fruit cake, with marzipan  and icing.   As usual, I've left it too late - we're meant to bake these things some time  in advance to improve the flavour.    I never remember.  But it never seems to matter! I thought I'd share it in case any UK coeliacs still haven't made theirs and don't have a recipe, or any of my friends across the Pond want to try making one.  Do you make iced fruit cakes like this in the US for Christmas? - I have no idea! I adapt it slightly as instead of fondant icing I make Royal Icing which sets hard and you can create exciting snow scenes with it if you can find any tiny model houses, churches and trees to put on it!  (my Mum used to do this).   https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/your-gluten-free-hub/home-of-gluten-free-recipes/1511804/ With thanks to the charity Coeliac Uk for this recipe.

      Welcome to the forum, @Art Maltman! Ask your physician to order serum antibody tests specifically designed to detect celiac disease. That's the place to start but you shouldn't be on a gluten free diet some weeks before the blood draw. You certainly have some symptoms that are characteristic of celiac disease and you have a first degree relative that has celiac disease. So, I think this would be an appropriate request to bring to your physician. Here is an article outlining the various serum antibody tests that can be ordered when checking for celiac disease:   The physician may not be open to ordering a full panel but push for at least these two: total IGA and tTG-IGA. By the way, absence of gut pain is very common in the celiac population. We call them "silent" celiacs as they have no or very minor symptoms. There are over 200 symptoms and spinoff health issues that have become associated with celiac disease and the range of symptoms and effects produced by the disease in different individuals various tremendously.
