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.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      Well, three months later and a startling revelation! After going gluten free (and nearly bankrupt buying special foods), my wife made a lunch of meat potatoes and gravy made with Bertolli white sauce - no wheat there right? Big flare up withing hours and I was really wiped out with it. She rechecks the label on the sauce bottle and right at the bottom...

      Could this be a new intolerance

      Unfortunately, the development of celiac disease usually is not an end in and of itself. It usually brings along friends, given time. It is at heart an immune system dysfunction which often embraces other immune system dysfunctions as time goes on.

      Thanks so much for the responses. I will urge him to go for further investigation. To be 48yrs old and develop a new allergy.. ugh, As if celiac disease isn’t enough!

      This does not seem to be an anaphylactic response but I agree it would be wise to seek allergy-food sensitivity testing. You might look into ALCAT food sensitivity testing.

      Could this be a new intolerance

      @Celiacpartner, I agree with Scott. We have a food festival yearly in the town I live in, with artisan food stalls everywhere. I spoke to the owner of one of the artisan burger stalls, enquiring if the burgers were gluten-free when I said I was Coeliac ... he said he had a serious anaphylactic allergy to fish himself. He possibly carries an epi-pen or...

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By StuartJ · Posted

      Well, three months later and a startling revelation!  After going gluten free (and nearly bankrupt buying special foods), my wife made a lunch of meat potatoes and gravy made with Bertolli white sauce - no wheat there right?  Big flare up withing hours and I was really wiped out with it.  She rechecks the label on the sauce bottle and right at the bottom of the ingredients XANTHAN GUM. There's our #1 suspect again!  So by way of experimenting, she decided to try making a loaf of bread with just regular white flour like she used to do and see what happened; the familiar smell hit me when I walked in the door last night and I sat down to eat this still warm, fresh goodness - I thought even if I have to take Imodium sandwiches, it will be worth it 😋 No ill effects, either overnight or today!  Half the loaf is now gone because I had some for supper, saving just one last slice for breakfast in the morning` - I've used the bathroom once and that was normal, so maybe it is not the gluten after all? Can't wait to try a beer! 😁
