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.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
