I keep on getting these body aches (flu like) off and aroung my hips and lower body. It feels very similar to the flu, but i have no fever and im not exhausted. I get them like evey other week it seems. What would cause these aches to keep coming back (bacteria, viral?)I cant understand it. It is usually accompanied by some stomach discomfort.

How are your Vit. D levels? When my D is really low I get the worst leg pains, cramping.... :( also, has your doc checked you for other causes of leg pain (blood flow issues, arthritis, autoimmune disease...)

Hi!

I usually get aches and pains if I have accidentally ingested some gluten. Last time it happened I found out that a product I use regularly (that used to be gluten free) had changed to wheat derived glucose. Manufacturers can change the ingredients at any time. I had just assumed that it was still gluten free and didn't check.

I think your immunity could be low because of some hidden gluten. try checking your toothpaste, other personal care products and any processed foods you eat that might contain gluten. Check the ingredients lists regularly. Also try upping you vitamins with a good gluten free multivitamin.

Good Luck! :)

I'm very interested in hearing everyone's ideas on this topic because the same thing is happening to me. It almost seems to go in a cycle and starts in my wrists, up my arms, shoulders, and down the trunk of my body. Major chills and painful aches and major fatigue. I've been to the doctor and she sent me to a rheumatologist who of course suggested it is depression and said I need antidepressents. Supposedly my vitamins levels are within normal limits. Whatever the problem is I'm pretty much left on my own to figure it out because I'm tired of the "here she comes again" looks. They must think I'm just nuts!

For now I'm thinking that maybe coffee has something to do with it? Do you drink coffee? I know when I give it up it seems to let up. I agree vitamins may help as well, but it takes some time I think for them to really start working.

Having been a victim of intermittent symptoms for years AFTER being gluten-free, I have to wonder whether both of you also have other food intolerances, which may turn out to be temporary.

A straightforward way to find out is to keep a food/symptom diary.

Sure makes it easy when faced w/ a "dammit I felt crappy in this same way ~2 1/2 wks ago, too!" situation, and being able to look up what foods may be in common in the days prior. (Some ppl find they have 2 or 3 day delays, tho most reactions are 1 day)

An effective food/symptom diary is made easier w/ simpler foods, as opposed to processed foods w/ 20+ ingred.

But regardless of that, it can be invaluable in figuring out what not to eat.

This scenario of additional intolerances seems very common on this forum.

Best of luck to you both :)

I completely agree with Tom. For me it seems when my body reacts to a food that I have become intolerant to, it effects the weakest of my joints. These are the joints that have deteriorated from years of being calcium and vit D deficient. I finally went to see a ND, and he has been helping me find out what these foods are, and he has put me on vitamins and probiotics. It has made such a big difference.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
