i am 25 weeks pregnant. my hips have really been bothering me. i brought this up with my dr last time nd he said it is a normal pregnancy issue. i know it is but my hip really hurts! it hurts on the left sid and in the front pelivc side. it is to the point where i cant roll in bed, i have to sit straight up then slowy move my body into another postition. i have two children already and had minor pregnancy complaints with them. my dr said it gets worse with every baby. i asked if it could be my celiac, but he doesnt think that a food allergy can cause joint problems. my hands have also been cramping up, and my fingers have to be rubbed out just to work again. im getting worried that there is some vitamin im lacking or something. im really strick with my gluten-free diet, so is it possible that im still lacking something or that my body is not working right?

It really could be any number of things, but pregnancy is likely contributing to it. I had horrible hip, pelvic and back pain during my third pregnancy. I have since found out that I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, which has a huge impact on all the tissues of the body, especially joints. It was likely EDS that was the issue, and pregnancy hormones and the baby's position made it worse.

I agree w/ Michi8. Every pregnancy is different, so your symptoms from the 2nd or 3rd can be totally different from your 1st. Also, I had an orthoped tell me once that most pregnant women get tendonitis (to some degree) in their hips. This is because the pelvis is adjusting itself for birth, which can cause strain on the tendons. Sometimes gentle stretches and exercise can help.

If it's really bad, I'd see your normal doc and see if they can recommend some exercises. If you don't want to deal with docs, try googling "hip exercises pregnancy". A bunch of sites pop up with exercises/stretches that you can do during pregnancy to help limit the pain.

Its hard to really tell, "normal" preg things ,can be masking other non preg things. BUT it is a very common thing to get when you are preg esp with each preg things are more intence. I had the same thing when preg with both my kids ... however I had it before too but more mild to moderate. And this was pre celiac diag. Heat would always help me ... I would put the heating pad on low (even on my hands...prob sounds crazy...but it helped). The book WHat to do when your expecting offers some advice on what you can do too.

I should add...I had chiropractic adjustments throughout my third pregnancy, which helped a lot with the pain. If you go that route, find a chiropractor who is trained to work with pregnant patients. There are special techniques that help with alignment of the pelvis and encourages the baby to settle in a good position. There is also the Webster Technique which is very good for helping turn a breech baby...it's very gentle, and is not risky like an external version is.

well i feel alot better knowing other pregnant people have had the same problem. its hard to tell whats a celiac disease thing lately and whats a preggo thing lol. i see my doc on mon so i will ask him about what excersices i can do that might help. i also bought a plug in heating pad and that helped at night last night.

i think i was freaked out because when i get glutened it makes my joints get real stiff and hurt. so i was worried because i was sure i havent messed up on my diet but it still felt like i was "cheating" on it!

Glad to hear you had some relife last night. I am too always thinking "is thins normal or is it celiacs". My joints ake too after being glutened.

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      I would like to say you saved me. I’ve been so sick the last few years, celiac since 1997. And reading your post about the other glutens/grains that can be sensitive to celiacs, is the only thing that has ever helped me. Since going off a carbohydrates/grains, even gluten-free ones, My chronic pain is 85% better. I’m actually losing weight which, that’s a...

      Curious if I should quit my job

      I 100% believe if you were sticking gluten items, especially flour, and breathed it in you could be glutened. I’m a celiac for almost 30 years. For the first ten years as a celiac I’d help my polish family make pierogis at Christmas time. I would only cook them at the stove and I didn’t touch anything with my hands using spoons. But the flour is in the a...

      Dealing with celiac and menstrual cycle

      Have you had your thyroid checked? I was diagnosed at 24 with celiac. Lost my period permanently at 32. Found out six months after I lost my period that I had 1 ovary with 1 follicle. I had a child already but wanted more. Ended up having two more children with one ovary and one follicle. But my doctors theories are if I would have gotten my thyroid checked...

      This. Scott said it beautifully. Document and start a trial gluten-free diet. I can also recommend an inflammation dietitian I saw last summer if interested. She’s the only one who helped me on a path to healing through an elimination diet. Which is tricky with your little one. But I completely trust her, she’s very expensive though. I figured out I’m se...

      I so appreciate you talking about this. Honestly I’m so sick the most part of the last 15 years, I’m going to cross reference your list with my own. Celiac since 24 yrs old diagnosed in 1997. I just saw a specific celiac GI specialist at the celiac disease center in Chicago and when I told her all the food reactions I was having she said she believed me ...

Since going off a carbohydrates/grains, even gluten-free ones, My chronic pain is  85% better. I’m actually losing weight which, that’s a long story but was impossible. I definitely am like you. Thank you so very much for posting. For some of celiacs I do believe this is the magic key.

For the first ten years as a celiac I’d help my polish family make pierogis at Christmas time. I would only cook them at the stove and I didn’t touch anything with my hands using spoons. But the flour is in the air. And I’d get violently ill for 1-2 weeks after the last few years I did it. Wearing a back is a great suggestion and washing your clothes and showering when you get home. Good luck. And I’m so sorry your parents are emotionally supporting you.

      Have you had your thyroid checked? I was diagnosed at 24 with celiac. Lost my period permanently at 32. Found out six months after I lost my period that I had 1 ovary with 1 follicle. I had a child already but wanted more. Ended up having two more children with one ovary and one follicle. But my doctors theories are if I would have gotten my thyroid checked sooner and fixed through medication, maybe things would look different. Who knows. I only share my experience so you question your doctors and advocate. Always see an endocrinologist for thyroid care fyi. Actually always see the specific Dr for your specific ailments. I’d also consider seeing a gynecologist that specializes in female hormones/menopausal symptoms. Early ovarian failure happens in celiacs so I read  on the celiac disease center in Chicago website.

She’s the only one who helped me on a path to healing through an elimination diet. Which is tricky with your little one. But I completely trust her, she’s very expensive though. I figured out I’m sensitive to so many things and follow a gluten-free diet religiously. Just had an upper and lower endoscopy/colonoscopy and zero signs of celiac disease so they said. I’m a celiac since 1997. But my 33 yr old daughter is very gluten intolerant since 20 yrs old.

      I so appreciate you talking about this. Honestly I’m so sick the most part of the last 15 years, I’m going to cross reference your list with my own. Celiac since 24 yrs old diagnosed in 1997. I just saw a specific celiac GI specialist at the celiac disease center in Chicago and when I told her all the food reactions I was having she said she believed me but there was no clinical evidence to support my reactions(I felt so unseen, she recommended I see a gut psychologist, what the heck). I react with severe body aches to bloating and dizziness to exhaustion:  most lectins except berries and low lectin veg, no eggs, no nightshade veg, no dairy, all carbohydrates including no gluten-free carbs or grains, though a little coconut flour seems ok now, need to test other non grains, certain alcohols that say gluten-free but looking into their process further I get horribly sick if distilled through a gluten grain example Costco vodka….. Because I had an upper and lower GI in 1997(I was 24 and 84#s) and my GI doc came back with celiac disease, this new doc suggested I may not be a celiac. Is running some blood test. Omg. I can’t even. I’m so beyond frustrated.
