Hip Pain?

I am not sure where to post this but anyway. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem or they know what is wrong? Starteing back a little over 5 years ago when I was pregnent with my first daughter my hip would pop out of place when I laid down on my back but would go back in as soon as someone helped me up. I was told it was just due to my hips widening for the baby. So I ovoided laying on my back and didn't think much of it. This continied but was't as frequent for untill my second preganancy about a year ago when it became frequent again. The problem now is for about the last month it keeps going out and is now exrtreamly painful when it does.....it has a dull ache when it is not. It goes out usually for a few hours at a time. I can kinda feel that it is going to happen before it does....kinda wierd. When it happens I can hardly walk but still can with allot of pain. I can't turn around when standing up because I can't move my leg. It is extreamly hard to move my leg forward on the affected side. If I lay down on my back I can not get up by myself or move my leg without help. I donno if this is related to celiac at all or not. I don't know if my hip is actually popping out of place. I am just hoping someone might have an idea what the problem is. Thanks

I don't know if it is popping out or not, but I have a major problem with my right hip. It seizes up on me frequently, and is extremely painful. For me it is one of my many ongoing issues......

My hip dosen't pop out, but I had a lot of pain in my right hip prior to diagnosis. It was much worse when I'd wake up in the morning--it was difficult to turn over, even.

It went away the longer I was gluten-free, but recently the left hip has begun to do the same thing. I don't know what's causing it, or if it's at all related to the Celiac. I thought it was, but now I'm not sure.

You need to talk to your doctor. The ligaments and muscles holding your hip joint in place may be stretched and/or stressed, so they are not working properly. There could also be a problem with the joint that needs to be fixed. I'm sure it must be frustrating to not be able to move!

that sounds familiar to me!!! i first had hip problems with my second pregnancy----i would sometimes limp because of the pain. during my 5th pregnancy both hips hurt when i walked for about 2 months. it carried on for some time (years) after my pregnancies.

i think it is probably not celiac related (i don't have celiac). it is probably just your hip joint loosening up (not spreading). there is a chemical that is released in your body when you are pregnant that makes your ligaments and such loosen up in preparation for delivering a baby. if you wear braces when you are pregnant your teeth will move faster because of this same chemical.

Hi. I have been experiencing a similar problem since late in my pregnancy and I am now 10 months pp. I agree with chrissy's post above where she states that the cause is probably due to widening of the pelvic are a and the role of chemicals in taht process (relaxin, I think). I am 2 days into a gluten-free diet and I have terrible body apin, not just in my hip, so I am wondering if the diet will improve things. I had a tough time finding info on the hip pain, but I have included a link that I found very helpful. Hope that you feel better!

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
