Pain In Arms And Legs

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.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
