Pain In Arms And Legs

[cherishlife]

Does anyone have any recommendations for pain in arms and legs. I have tried a few supplements, they did not seem to help. It is almost like my skin hurts to be touched and they have an acheing sensation that makes it near impossible to grip things or sometimes walk properly. I have only been on the diet for eight months, and have just had an accidental gluten intake, been very sick and now dealing with extreme pain.

Thank you!

Have you seen a dr about it? It may have nothing to do with celiac. To me it sounds neurological rather than muscular (because of your skin being so sensitive.)

If this has appeared only with the glutening it may be part of the inflammatory response in your body. It does sound like neuro impact are you taking a sublingual B12 supplement? That won't help with the pain but will help the nerves restore proper function which may help in the long run.

When I get glutened I haven't found much that will completely relieve this other than the time passing and the antibodies reclearing my system. I do find that hot baths and showers help and I take baby asprin for the inflammation. If this continues make sure you are not reglutening yourself and do keep in mind that not everything is celiac. If you continue to feel worse and don't recover in a reasonable amount of time do check with your doctor just to make sure you don't have anything else going on.

I have same pain before... when I consult my dr. tell me to take B complex vitamins especially B-12 tablets daily after mils and it was very useful indeed

I definitely agree with the sublingual B12 recommendation. I'd also recommend magnesium, and possibly zinc.

But it is also true that symptoms often become pronounced after being gluten-free a while. So it may be more a matter of recovery from the glutening.

Do you have a particular brand of supplements you recommend? I use to work in the supplement industry and I know there are a lot of products that are not very good. Thank you so much for your help.

The brand I prefer depends on the particular nutrient. The B12 is from Source Naturals, while the magnesium and zinc are from NOW Foods. You're right - there is a lot of junk out there in supplement land.
