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.

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
