Shoulder Pain

[dollamasgetceliac?]

Hi ,

I have this shoulder pain that i think got better with the gluten-free diet but I can't tell for sure could this be related to celiac?

I have back problems. They make my shoulder hurt so bad. When I ate gluten it was worse. Now that I am off gluten it is better in my shoulder for sure. sugar makes it worse too. My back problem is related to joints in my spine. My dr says it is due to my makeup, but that if certain foods make it worse than avoid them.

If your pain does not go away completely, I would investigate it further. I really wanted mine to go completely away with just diet, but too much damage had already been done, so I am having to do stretching, PT, deep tissue massage, yoga.

gluten is imflammatory for me

A lot of women end up with tendinitis or even a tear of the supraspinatus tendon of the shoulder (torn rotator cuff). We do lots of stretching and lifting, and our bodies aren't set up for strength, and most of us don't do anything to strengthen our shoulders, nor do we know what positions and stretches can make things worse. And things like Pilates and even yoga can CAUSE shoulder damage if you start out weak and your instructor does not have a background in physical therapy/athletic training.

Gluten could certainly exacerbate the problem, as it could interfere with your ability to digest needed nutrients to help keep bones and muscles strong and healthy.

Now, keep in mind, just because a tendon is torn does NOT necessarily mean that it needs surgery--but most orthopedists will tell you that is does, because that is what they do. You are better off being assessed by and working with a good physical therapist, who will send you on to an orthopedist if they think it's necessary.
