Recently got diagnosed with celiac my symptoms were diarrhea, stomach pain mostly in my liver area, dizziness, inflammation in my face tissue, knotted up tense shoulder, nausea, fatigue ,and  insomnia when it first hit I thought I got the flue …. Is this similar to others in the group?

Welcome to the forum, Jason!

"diarrhea, stomach pain mostly in my liver area, dizziness . . . nausea and fatigue" are common symptoms with celiac disease but "inflammation in my face tissue, knotted up tense shoulder . . . and  insomnia" are not symptoms that I can remember being reported by other celiacs. About 20% of celiacs have elevated liver enzymes that often normalize after being on a gluten free diet for some months.

Ok my doctor also said I have a milk allergy I never had issues with dairy before but do you think that would cause the other problems ?

Inflammation of your facial tissue could be caused by an allergic reaction to a milk protein. But it is also possible you have developed lactose intolerance or an intolerance to the protein (casein) in dairy. These are common in the celiac population. Note that an allergy is not the same as intolerance.

The knotted up tense shoulder could be a neurological manifestation of celiac disease but more likely it is an orthopedic issue. May we ask your age?

For many years before and after my diagnosis I had shoulder knots and serious stiff neck issues. This was an issue for me for at least 10-15 years after my diagnosis, until I started taking supplements for likely vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and switching over to a very firm pillow. For the most part these issues are gone now, but not completely. As @trents mentioned, some of this can be caused by your bed, pillow, ergonomics, posture, etc., and also nutrient deficiencies.

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior".   Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:

      Thanks for the kind words. It's hard to convince my doctor to investigate further because of a negative blood test and he only tested me for one marker. 🙃 I've come to the point where I need to take this into my own hands because the doctors are infuriating and it's not going anywhere. I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still consuming dairy and I think that's what's backing me up. Next week no dairy introduced.

      Hello mantooth nice to meet you it's so uncanny what you wrote you sound just like me even the back issues are exactly the same and I'm new here too trying to find out if I have the same had I too have been struggling to find answers with my docters I don't have a diagnosis but I've been struggling like forever and was told ibs and health aniexty was my problem but on researching I've come to the conclusion it's probably more because i cut gluten and lactose out for 6 months and  it was a incredible change for me so although I can't help with diagnosis I can say your not alone in trying  to find answers 😊
