Holy cow. Unless you are a gymnast, obviously something is not right here.

Are you TOTALLY off gluten, if you are gluten intolerant? Unfortunately, "gluten-lite" can result in most (if not all)of the same damage that the normal gluteny diet can cause.

Gluten intolerance, in my opinion WILL lead to celiac (as diagnosed by villi damage) if you keep eating gluten. In your case, it sounds like you already may have leaky gut. At any rate, for some reason, it sounds like you may not be properly absorbing minerals like calcium.

If your calcium level is actually elevated, then you should rule out multiple myeloma (Open Original Shared Link) but I would think that you are younger than most who get that, plus the broken bones in that one seem to occur more in the back and the ribs.

I would, if he doesn't want to do one (and I don't know why he wouldn't) the person to ask next would be your ob-gyn.

I would. It maybe that the bone is weakened from the first break but better to check this out - than not. Also check serum levels of calcium and if too high - Parathyroidism. My cousin at 55 has fractured her kneecap by ONLY rolling her ankle over one day when walking. After 2 months it still wasn't getting better so now she is in a wheel chair for 2 more months and may need a knee replacement as the bone is STILL not healing. She is having monthly MRIs and the bone has only healed 20%.

She is 'wheat intolerant' ( Dr told her this as blood test for Celiac was normal) and hasn't been that strict about Gluten. I have now told her of the Celiac / Osteoporous link and the links to HypoThyroid ( which she has ) , and Pernicious Anaemia ( which she has ) and the family genetics. She is now believing me that she may be Celiac.

I would definitely request the bone scan. I requested one just b/c I was in my forties and wanted to make sure I was ok. To my surprise, I was told I had osteopenia due to my celiac. I have since broken my foot and it took several months to heal and it still causes me pain on a daily basis. :(

I certainly would. If your bone are not as dense as they should be you can still do something about it now before the problem gets more serious.

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...

      The Happy Tart review

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Ibuprofen

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
