Question About Muscle Spasms.....

Does any one know if muscle spasms are a related disorder to Celiac? Not that it matters, but I like to keep a tab of what all celiac has done to me!!!!! :P:ph34r:

I tend to have my neck and back go out and have some pretty intense pain. I keep a bottle of muscle relaxers to knock it out when it starts, but I still have it for about a week. It's a real pain in the neck! :blink:

Anyway, thanks in advance for any thoughts on this subject!

My mom said maybe it's fibermyalgia. She has it and since my muscles get all knotted, she thinks it might be the same thing!

Yikes! It sure sounds like it (FM) . Do you have muscle fatigue as well? Especially in the hands and arms? This is how it started for me. Being careful to stay gluten-free will probably keep the severity in check. I am sorry this is happening to you.

I don't know what causes mine. Being gluten-free does not help them, but physical therapy does.

It always hits me in my neck. It started a couple of years ago. I didn't know what was happening. I was a little stressed, trying to get everything ready for Halloween and I have two kids which, well, keeps you at a certain level of stress! :P I was shaking up a cup of chocolate milk and bam! I couldn't turn my head without intense sharp pain. Went to the hospital and got some valume and pain killers, they said x-rays were fine, maybe a pinched nerve. It went away one day. And now when I get stressed out I get these knots in my neck and shoulder area. I do get some muscle fatigue as well. I am 100% gluten free for 7 months now, and I am a fanatic about it. I really don't know much about fibermyagia. If anyone could help me out with info....

What do you do to ease it when it comes on?

Hi Lollie--nice to see you! I found this information on Fibromyalgia--I didn't really know much about it, although my sister in law has it.

Thanks Patti! That info was quite helpful and I guess I do have FM, <_< I hate it when my mom is right!!!!! That little diagram of the neck and upper back has all the spots on it that are sore on me! I guess I always thought that you are supposed to be tired when you are raising kids! :P And the info about the stops in deep sleep are particularly interesting. I never feel like I have truly rested, even though I go to bed at a reasonable hour. I had no idea that was one of the effects, again I thought its just because I am a mom.

And it's good to be back! Missed everybody!

Lollie, these stretches work best for me when my neck and shoulders yank up:

1. Lie on back on bed, tuck chin to chest while pressing back of head into bed, hold for count of 5, release, repeat 5 times.

2. Stand or sit, tip head to left shoulder, put left hand on right side of head while reaching right hand to the floor, hold for count of 15, switch to other side. Do 5 repeats.

On either of these stretches, you can slowly turn your head from side to side. You will feel the tight muscles pulling, these are the ones that need to stretch. This is a pain that you will have to work through to get relief.

I hope they work for you, my pt gave them to me.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Try adding some Thiamine Hydrochloride (thiamine HCl) and see if there's any difference. Thiamine HCl uses special thiamine transporters to get inside cells. I take it myself. Tryptophan will help heal the intestines. Tryptophan is that amino acid in turkey that makes you sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner. I take mine with magnesium before bedtime...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I live in the upper mid-west and was just diagnosed with marsh 3c celiac less than a month ago. As a 51 year old male, I now take a couple of different gluten free vitamins. I have not noticed any reaction to either of these items. Both were purchased from Amazon. 1. Nature Made Multivitamin For Him with No Iron 2. Gade Nutrition Organic Quercetin...

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +
