Leg Cramps

Didn't I read some where that it can be a symptom of Celiac's? My little guy woke up from his nap at pre school screaming out in pain and refusing to walk. They rubbed it for like 15 minutes before he would move. Are there any suggestions to help out with the pain?

Poor little guy :(

I was glutened today, and I had the worst leg cramps ever. This was my first experience with anything like that happening as a result of consuming gluten. Rubbing and massaging my legs helped the best, and I really don't know that anything else would have helped. Hopefully someone else on here will have a pain remedy, because I could use on as well.

I feel so bad for your little boy, because here I am, almost 21 years old, and I could barely stand the pain. I can't imagine what it must be like for a preschooler :(

I'm definitely glutened today and am having horrible trouble with my toes keeping on turnng up the wrong way. It's really painful.

OMG--Matilda, this is what happens to me--I've never heard anyone describe it so perfectly! I also find that when I stretch, my calf muscles lock up, and I have to stand up immediately with all of my weight on the leg or it goes into a full on cramp.

my 2 year old does the same thing at night. she is in so much pain. I give her motrin, and rub her legs. some times I will put lavender oil on them, it seems to calm her until she falls asleep. I have never had them so I don't know how they feel I just know that she is in pain.

This happened to me all the time as a child and even until I went gluten free 4 months ago. This was one of my daughter's main symptoms as well. And if she gets glutened this is how I tell. I ususally rub her legs and give her motrin or tylenol. So sorry for your little guy!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
