Is this a symptom of Celiac Disease?

(I'm particularly interested in chronic myofascial pain, especially if it began after an injury.)

Yes. Between that and my arthritis and my ataxia any movement at all was really hard. It was also agony to be touched with any firmness. A 'relaxing' massage would leave me in extreme pain for hours. I had been like this for so long that for most of my life I thought it hurt everyone to have someone give their shoulder a squeeze. This went away for me within 6 months gluten-free.

I had lost all hope by the time I was finally diagnosed and if I, and others who are just as badly damaged as I was, can recover you can too. It does take some time and great diligence about the diet but healing can happen. To speed healing you should try and eat as much naturally gluten free food as you can in as pure of a form as you can. If you can you should avoid dairy also for a bit until you heal. Don't rush a lot of specialty gluten free stuff at first and check everything that goes into and onto your body. Don't assume any med is safe, script or OTC, gluten or any allergin is not covered under the same labeling regs as with food. As strange as it sounds even check your pet food, that is a common source of CC that many including myself don't think of at first.

You have come to a great place for info and support, make sure you check out the info Scott has on the front page and another site that is very good is the celiac sprue associations.

I hope you get some relief soon.

Thanks. :)

Looking at your list of misdiagnoses helps me feel like there's hope as well. I fit the diagnostic criteria for a number of those, but I'm not satisfied with calling those things anything other than sets of symptoms. I want to find the root cause.

At this point I would actually be disappointed if I don't have some sort of problem with gluten. lol

I'm so tired of hearing "there's nothing wrong with you" from family and friends and having doctors blame everything on stress or depression.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
