I get migrating joint pain from my Lyme Disease, but oddly enough, eating gluten-free has helped it somewhat. I don't really have any suggestions on how to get rid of it, but I can empathize with how uncomfortable it can be!

I have arthritis in my right hand, two of the fingers swell noticibly when I eat sugar. I don't know if it happens when I eat gluten because I haven't had any for over a year and my hand is still swelling if I have too many sweets. Generally when I had gluten before I was having sugar so I have always assumed this was related to sugar.

I hope you are feeling better.

Behind my knees, inside my elbow joints - both areas swell pretty badly. My fingers swell at night, I can't sleep with any rings on anymore.

I hope that you feel better soon!

My joints swell from gluten, dairy, rice, eggs primarily. Unfortunately, I haven't found anything that helps, other than waiting it out and avoiding the offending foods.

Just new to the site. Trying to find out why i have some similar symptoms. Finger, wrist pain, swelling at night, sluggish, constipated...shall i go on?! I found an article in a Woman's magazine that recommends everyone should try a gluten free diet, just for a week. Says it could be keeping on the extra weight as well. Alot of my symptoms were listed so I thought i would attempt it and hopefully notice some changes. Agree? Some people are saying it's just i run too much with the kids (being the taxi and all), but things just don't seem right.

I have had this problem for many years.

A doctor recently recommended that I begin taking glucosomine tablets daily. I have taken them for 3 weeks now and have noticed significant improvement in my knees, ankles, shoulders.

You can get glucosomine in Wild Oats, Whole Foods, Supplement stores, ect

p.s. i take an extra strength tablet once in the morning and once in the evening.

wow i wasnt realizing how common this is, i think it is food allergy related as well and as i get this all figured out hopefully i can get this under better control.

      Going on a cruise next week and I’m a celiac. Bought a bottle of GliandinX. Should I just take two tablets per day as a precaution? Never tried this before!! Any help is appreciated!!

      Good point, as thyroid conditions are more common in those with celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/thyroid-pancreatic-disorders-and-celiac-disease/
