Joints Popping?

Recommended Posts

penguin Community Regular

So I'm in the midst of a gluten challenge, and my muscles are kind of aching but my joints are popping a lot!

I noticed when I first went gluten-free that my joints (esp. shoulder) were poppy, but it seemed to lessen over time or I didn't notice it.

Now my shoulders and elbows are popping like crazy! It doesn't hurt, but I was wondering if it's gluten related maybe? I'm pretty sure the achiness is.

The achiness is kind of flu like in nature. You know how your shoulders and neck get achey and your legs get stiff before you get the flu? It's like that. Whenever it happened before, I braced for the flu to come but it never did.

Oh, and I keep running into things. Like, I keep hip checking the door jamb. It's like my trajectory is skewed.

Does this happen to anyone else?

I think the popping is gluten related-

my son popped so much for years that I thought he was going to fall apart,ha, the drs just blew it off as nothing, we knew there was more to it . He suffered lots of bone, muscle pain also

he was wasting away by the time the dr figured out it was celiac

As long as i can remember, my knees pop like crazy. all the time. i'll be sititng in the movie theater and have to try and stretch out my leg and bend my knee a few times till it pops. if i feel pressure building up in one of my knees but do not pop it, my knee will usually swell up a little and feel slightly sprained to the point where i can't put much pressure on it and walk with a limp. weird, i know. i don't tell people anymore cause they never know what the heck i'm talking about. related to gluten? who knows.

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight.  My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she suggested it.

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.
