Anyone Have Very Stiff Neck/eye Pain And Twiching On Right Side Of Stomach?

[breadless in wonderland]

I was diagnosed in March of this year and have been Gluten free since April. They also found I am Calcium/Vitamin D deficenty and have ostepenia. I am now having severe swollen neck pain on my right side and pain and pressure in my right eye. Also having spastic nerve of muscle twich on my lower right side of my waist. I was wondering if this could be any kind of complication to celiac...

Thanks

The right side of my neck gets stiff when I eat something that doesn't agree with me, not necessarily gluten. I love these coconut/mango bars by Oskri and they are gluten-free but if I eat one, in 30/45 mins. my neck is stiff (but I eat them because I love them- so bad!!! ). I find that most of my symptoms occur on the right side of my body when I eat something that doesn't work for me. Have you eliminated dairy and soy as well? Try keeping a food log. Write down everything you eat (including individual ingredients) and write down your reactions as soon as you notice them (even if there is none).

That's so funny b/c all of my problems are on my left side of my body - split us in half and we'd make a perfect body!

When I first went gluten free I developed a throbbing pain in the left side of my neck - turns out it was a goitter (thyroid problem) - I think b/c I substituted soy for a lot of gluten and supposedly soy is bad for thyroid problems (I already had Hashimotos pre celiac dx). You might want to get your thryoid checked - if you've ever had thyroid problems I would suggest seeing an endocrinologist and having an ultrasound of your neck - that's how they can see the goiter if that is what it is. I didn't have any of the other symptoms you are having though, so it might not be that.

Thanks so much.. I've been to an endo doctor and he say's I'm fine, but I don't believe him...he hasn't done an ultrasound, just blood work.

He said my thyroid is enlarged but the blood work was negative, so I don't know what to think!

HELLO, OUR POOR BODIES, AND EVERYTHING IT GOES THROUGH... I STILL GET STOMACH AND RIB PAIN, THEN I GET PAINS ALSO ON MY RIGHT SIDE. WHEN I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING, AND I AM STILL, I CAN FEEL MUSCLES TWITCHES ALL OVER MY BODY. SOMETIMES BEFORE I FALL ASLEEP AT NIGHT, I PUT THE HEATING PAD ON LOW, AND THAT HELPS WITH MUSCLE TWITCHING ON MY STOMACH, AND ALSO RELIEVES SOME OF THAT STOMACH PAIN.
