Celiac Disease & Weaked Tendons?

I Have had both shoulders repaired in the past 2 years. Right side was the superaspinatus tendon, and the left side had that plus the bicepts tendon. I had the left one done on 4/5/06 and the right one in Feburary 2004. Has anyone seen or have any information about the effect of celiac disease on tendons? As my personal information shows, I have had symptoms almost all my life and I am almost 60 years old.

Thanks for any response.

I have rotator cuff tendonitis.....i went to physical therapy for almost 2 months, but the pain never seemed to go away. It felt really weak and sore even if i carried my purse.

After going gluten-free believe it or not about a month later....no more pain. i had it for over 3 years, then boom, gluten-free and no pain.... :)

I had tendonitis constantly when I was eating gluten. I was also doing lots of ballet, so it's hard to tell what actually caused it. Hmmm...interesting...

I haven't seen anything written on it but I do know that I get a lot less dislocations now that I am gluten free. I have hypermobile joints and dislocate easily and have had a couple ligament and tendon repairs myself. In my case I think this comes from excess fluid in the joints, this fluid also caused arthritis damage mostly to my hands but all movement caused pain pre gluten-free. A lot of us are diagnosed with fibro also so I think this stuff just wrecks havoc with all the fluids coursing through our bodies.

Wow, this is fascinating--I had a dislocated shoulder, with torn supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons, plus torn glenoid labrum. This was in January, and it is healing so s-l-o-w-ly, it's extremely frustrating.

I'm writing a blog about the recovery process--if anybody is interested, my latest post is at Open Original Shared Link. It's not very well set-up, though--you have to kind of hunt for the previous posts instead of their automatically coming up with the latest post.

Anyway, if any of you who have experience with shoulder recovery have any suggestions or comments about what I've written, PLEASE post them!!! (There's a comment space on the blog--I'd love to have more comments!)

I've been trying to think of a way to work the celiac thing into the blog, anyway, especially if I can present it in a way that nobody thinks I'm a total hypochondriac (sound familiar?). My colleagues are already giving me grief about the dislocated shoulder; they seem to think I'm just taking a vacation!

We just can't win, can we? :(

I have tendon, muscle and joint issues and was recently diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis. My rheumatologist said a lot of his AS patients also have gluten sensitivity. I'm doing really well with the drug he put me on, sulfasalazine. It has helped my gut and my tendons.

I have terrible tendon problems. In shoulder, elbows, wrists and ankles. I believe it is due to malnutrition. I have been taking free form amino acids so that my digestive system does not have to break down protein to rebuild - it gets it in a "ready to go" form. I have also heard that it is important to take a balanced form of minerals as an adjunct to amino acids - to help in the healing process. I tend to take this stuff on and off. I believe it cannot hurt in the face of malnutrition.

      Aveeno products

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I use Aveeno Moisturizing Body Lotion with prebiotic oat, unscented. I really only use it on my hands and not every day. Haven't noticed it any problems. I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Having a RAVENOUS appetite (or conversely no appetite at all - anorexia) and unintended weight loss are symptoms of early thiamine deficiency.   People who are physically active, athletes, physical laborers, those who exercise outside regularly have a higher metabolic need for thiamine.  Exercising outside regularly can cause more thiamine loss because sunlight breaks down thiamine.  (This is why people with heat stroke are administered thiamine.)  More thiamine is lost through the kidneys in those who exercise regularly.  Because blood tests for thiamine deficiency is so inaccurate, the World Health Organization suggests, if thiamine deficiency is suspected, give thiamine and look for health improvement.   Do not take Thiamine Mononitrate as this form is not well absorbed nor utilized in the body.  It is frequently found in foods, and multivitamins and B1 supplements because it will not break down with exposure to light while sitting on a shelf at the store.  Thiamine Mononitrate is shelf stable - it won't break down with light exposure - and this makes it not bioavailable.  The body only absorbs about 30% and utilizes less than that because it's so hard to break down.   Benfotiamine and the form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide) and thiamine hydrochloride are wonderful forms to take.   I'm familiar with these symptoms because I dropped sixty pounds in a month because I had developed thiamine deficiency.  I ate well, exercised, and took a multivitamin (with thiamine Mononitrate), but the metabolic needs of my body demanded more.  The years of poor absorption due to undiagnosed Celiac disease had depleted my stores of thiamine.  My doctors did not recognize thiamine deficiency symptoms, even when they progressed to Wernicke's Encephalopathy.  They said I was making things up and sent me home. With nothing else to lose (I could feel myself dying), I took high dose thiamine hydrochloride as the WHO suggested and had improvement within the hour.   I also tried Benfotiamine and TTFD in the months that followed and had even more significant health improvement. Please don't wait until your brain starts malfunctioning or other organs start failing.  Please take thiamine soon.  It's nontoxic and safe even in high doses.  Thiamine works with other B vitamins, especially Riboflavin and Pyridoxine, so supplementing with a B Complex is essential as well.  Magnesium is needed as well to make life sustaining enzymes. There's no harm, no foul in trying Thiamine.  If for no other reason than to prove it is not thiamine deficiency.   P. S.  Thiamine is needed to turn on Vitamin D, turning it into its active form.  Otherwise  Vitamin D can't be utilized and just builds up in the system.

      Oh and yes, thanks, other than being permanently RAVENOUS and not yet putting on weight, I am feeling pretty good. I jog, do yoga, today cycled 12km to a food market then to another place to get my fish, then my gluten-free bread... My life is All about food!;( But I shld prob. be less active as obv is keeping the pounds off... And having some muscle makes me feel less depressed with my skeletal appearance.
