Sore Joints After Going Gluten Free

Is it normal for your joints to hurt after going gluten free. I have been free for a few days now and my thumb joint is really sore and has been for 3 days. I almost feels like arthiritis, could it be that i am not getting enough vitamins and minerals. Will the pain stop? When?

I had started back weight training but this makes it very difficult to lift heavy weights.

Thanks

There is a herbal supplement for joints and it's called glucosomean...not sure on spelling. I have clients who take it and it really helps them. Check with a pharmasist....to be sure it's gluten free. it is an over the counter med!

Hi. I think it possibly could be happening because you are detoxing from gluten. It happened to me as well and took about a month to come right.

I know how you feel I had the same problems I was taking all the vita and the joint meds but when I started taking about 1000 mg a day of B 12 I have really started to feel better and my joints are better and the tingling in the hands and feet went away and If I quit taking it for a while my body starts to tell me I need to get back on it . Hope you feel better soon .

Dairy products can do strange things also. You may want to try dairy free for a couple of weeks to see if it gets better.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
