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!

      bread

      Wanted to tell someone, I finally made an edible gluten free bread. It took me several hours to make and it didn't taste like what I was trying to make, but it did taste like a bread. Was looking all over for bread machine recipes and I ran across this one on the Internet: https://www.snapcalorie.com/recipes/gluten_free_oat_challah_bread_machine.html ...

      Gluten Allergy

      The concept of "over-methylation" as a common clinical condition is not supported by mainstream medicine. While methylation is a crucial biochemical process, the idea that people frequently become "over-methylated" and that this is linked to B6 deficiency is a speculative theory, not an established fact.

      Major Glutening

      Hi to all I am 4 years Celiac now. I have Ataxia too from gluten and it’s been a major learning curve and adjustment. But my query is about a recent set back. I was Glutened and started an OTC medicine to cope with a symptom. It stated it was free from gluten specifically. But in the following weeks I was getting more ill and couldn’t fathom what was wro...

      Gluten Allergy

      @MMeade, People who get over-methylated are frequently low in Pyridoxine Vitamin B6. Pyridoxine helps regulate the methylation process so it doesn't run amok. P-5-P is the active form. All eight essential B vitamins work in concert together. Just taking one or two can throw the rest out of balance. If you have malabsorption as occurs in Celiac...

      Wanted to tell someone, I finally made an edible gluten free bread.  It took me several hours to make and it didn't taste like what I was trying to make, but it did taste like a bread.  Was looking all over for bread machine recipes and I ran across this one on the Internet:  https://www.snapcalorie.com/recipes/gluten_free_oat_challah_bread_machine.html  Used it as a starting point, but I swapped out the tapioca with arrowroot and the xanthan gum with guar gum and glucomannan.  I also made it using the gluten-free pizza mode on my Panasonic bread machine and then took the batter out and put it in a bread mold to give it some shape.  I let it rise another 20 minutes and baked it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes in the oven.

      Major Glutening

      By FayeBr · Posted

      Hi to all I am 4 years Celiac now. I have Ataxia too from gluten and it’s been a major learning curve and adjustment. But my query is about a recent set back. I was Glutened and started an OTC medicine to cope with a symptom. It stated it was free from gluten specifically. But in the following weeks I was getting more ill and couldn’t fathom what was wrong. I had gastritis which is awful and lots of other neuro and body symptoms that I get when Glutened. I always find it difficult to think straight too because of the brain fog and fatigue so this wasn’t helping me think logically. And then the lightbulb moment of the medication. I emailed the company in my gluten haze (by this time the symptoms were awful and reminded me of my pre gluten free days) and they responded saying although it states ‘this product does not contain gluten’ they could not guarantee it didn’t have gluten in it from manufacturing processes etc etc. I stopped it just over 2 weeks ago. I had been taking it for 6 weeks. So in the last few weeks I have started to improve from being bedridden with fatigue and aches/pains,  gastritis, abdominal pain and GI problems, brain fog, mental health symptoms, pins and needles, migraines and much more to just about functioning. I feel I have done so much damage to my body and it’s such a set back. But my question is has anyone else had a major episode like this and how long did it take to recover? I still have symptoms now and it’s been over 2 weeks. I’m afraid I have made my Ataxia worse and the panic attacks and anxiety are through the roof. I’d forgotten what that was like. But any thoughts or experiences would help. Thank you.

      @MMeade, People who get over-methylated are frequently low in Pyridoxine Vitamin B6.  Pyridoxine helps regulate the methylation process so it doesn't run amok.  P-5-P is the active form. All eight essential B vitamins work in concert together.  Just taking one or two can throw the rest out of balance.  If you have malabsorption as occurs in Celiac, then all the B vitamins will be poorly absorbed.  Taking a B Complex in addition to extra thiamine (Benfotiamine) is safe.  The B vitamins and Vitamin C are water soluble.  Any excess is urinated out.  I took a B 50 Complex twice a day to increase absorption.   Try taking Magnesium Threonate (Neuro-Mag by Life Extension).  Magnesium Threonate can get into the brain easily.  The brain needs magnesium, too, but other forms don't cross the blood-brain barrier as well.   The first time I took Magnesium Threonate, it felt like my brain relaxed.  I highly recommend it.   How's your Vitamin D level?
