Is this related to celiac. My step son, is having problems with his knees, The other day he was pulling weeds and it popped out like 3 times and they have hurt ever since. We took him to the dr about 2 months ago about his knees hurting but they said it was nothing. But we all know drs dont really know that much lol So i was just wondering if it had to do with celiac or if there is anything else we need to look in to, or if there is anything we can do about it.

Well, what does "popping out" mean? There's a lot of things that can happen in that joint. Did you take him to an orthopaedist that specializes in knees? If not, given that this is now a recurring problem, I suggest doing so.

Well from what he tells me, he said he was getting ready to stand up and he felt like his knee dislocated like 3 times then it popped back into place. I know the dr did say before it could be growing pains, but i dont think that causes knees to pop out.

The poor kid is so tired of doctors and specialist. But i think you are right, time for an ortho.. dr. He has to go to the allergy doctor on friday, maybe i can get him in to a ortho dr the same day, that way he gets it all over with the same time.

My heart just breaks that he has to go threw all of this at age 13, i just want him to be normal, ya know.

I'd take him to a proper knee doctor, too. For years I had popping behind my knee which could have felt like a knee popping out and it was cause by my kneecap not sitting level. If he hasn't had an injury that would cause this, I'm going to guess it's an alignment issue. PT can often correct the muscle imbalances that cause misalignments. If there are no (or minimal) muscle imbalances and there's still an alignment problem, you could also try taking him to a chiropractor and getting his knees adjusted. I'd also have a chiro or doctor look at the feet and hips because issues there can cause knee pain (although if this happens while kneeling in the garden, it seems like it may be isolated to the knee joint).

Well he said that they both hurt but the left one is the one that pops the most. I asked him if it hurt when he jumps on the tramp and he said yes. But he said when it popped he fell to the ground and it was a real burning pain. and after he did stand up again it popped again and it hurt again. The left side is a little swollen. Im wonderin if its like an acl or something. He is very althetic and he said they have hurt for some time. He is so afraid to tell us anything cause of all the drs he had to see for everytihing else.

I cant find an ortho dr here in this town, ughhh why do i live in a small town.

It may require a long drive, but he needs to be seen. I second the PT/chiro approach to find out if it's muscular or structural, after an ortho rules out the obvious. Knees are important to keep in decent shape, and are one of the weaker points in the body.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.
