Joint Pains

Hi My wife has been coeliac for around 4 years, at the moment thought she is suffering from pains in her joints, she has strictly followed the diet for years and is better but she still has a sore tummy sometimes and as I said very stiff and painfull joints. Is this just one of the things she will have to live with or is there someone who can advise on relief. <_<

Thanks

Everyone's reactions are very different. I have problems with sore joints when my food gets off but I don't know which of my foods are the trigger, I just know that is one of my symptoms and after a couple of months, I realized the sore joints were better. It is also one of the first things that really bothers me when I am eating something I shouldn't and it isn't always clear. As in, I cannot tolerate the calcium that is added to non-dairy milks and OJs and sore joints were a problem then. I can take pill calcium but not that kind and I have no idea why.

Not sure if I helped but there is my story.

I found that nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant) caused joint pain for me. When I stopped eating them the pain stopped. I actually had confirmation a few nights ago when I ate a gluten-free pumpkin pie (yum, pumpkin pie!) that had a bit of potato starch in it. I thought it wouldn't be a problem because the potato starch was quite far down on the ingredients list but that night the pains came back.

If your wife was interested in finding out if that's her trigger she could try cutting them out for a few weeks. I don't think it takes long to find out if they're the problem.

My joint pains were caused by all lectins. They are all grains (including gluten ones, rice and corn), eggs, dairy, nightshades and legumes (including peanuts and soy). Rice, eggs and gluten are the worst for joint pain, but nightshades and the rest of them aren't far behind.

If you want to know more about lectins, follow the link in my signature.

I too found nightshades to cause severe joint/muscle pains. However, I think if I had been taking a magnesium supplement (as I do now) it might not have happened nearly as bad if at all. The magnesium is perhaps the best thing I've done thus far besides being gluten-free. Of course, we're all different, but from what I've read, Celiacs are often deficient in magnesium.

Welcome to the board. I hope you find the answers you need soon.

Hi I haven't been on this site for some time and it is so informative. I have been in severe joint pain lately and have cheated and can't pin point what it is. I just thought it was something else. I am trying to loose weight and stay gluten, lactose, cassein, and corn syrup free. What else is there in life, now joint pain any advise for someone who wants to loose weight and be free of joint pain. Oh i forgot to say i am very active. I am a cheerleading coach for a high school and by the time my practice is over i am in so much pain i have to take advil or tylenol and go to bed. I refuse to give up on my life and I am not found of veggies, but will do them...any advise

The best advice I can offer is to search the board for discussions about magnesium. That's what prompted me to try it, and I now wish I had begun taking it long ago.

I'm sure others will have valuable suggestions as well.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
