Teeth/gums Hurting

I am not sure this is where I post this but I wanted to ask a couple questions. I have celiac disease, and have been gluten free for a little over a week. Within the week, I have noticed that I have had so many problems come about? Before, I had no signs of Celiac Disease at all. Lately my neck has been killing me, about 1 week now. Which I don't know why and is probably not do to celiac at all? My teeth/gums are a little swollen and hurt really bad. My body aches and it doesn't take much for my muscles to hurt. One day I turned my leg and pulled a muscle in my thigh?????? My knees and cavs hurt running up stairs, and I am only 29 years old. Does anyone know if this has to do with going gluten and my body not being well nourished because of celiac disease. I know these questions are probably really stupid, but I don't really have anyone else to ask. I recently went to the dermatologist and they claim I have rosocae (sp) on the face????? Which, I think is just plain acne so I have been putting a cream on my face for about a week now. I noticed my face was getting a little dry. Last night I took an Ibuprofen because of my neck, and this morning I woke up and my eyes were swollen???? AHHHH, what is going on with me. I feel like I am falling apart since going gluten free and I have NO energy at all??? Anyone have any solutions. I feel like I am making myself crazy because of all this going on and so sudden.

Thanks for any advice.

First....you arent crazy. Many go through "detox" from gluten. I had issues for 6 weeks and then I started feeling great!! So hang in there. Be gentle with yourself while you are healing. Drink lots of water and get plenty of rest. Make sure you are 100% gluten-free (check meds, lipstick, cutting boards, toasters, etc.). Because often symptoms are WORSE when you eat gluten after you have been gluten-free.

A few thoughts for you...

Rosacea is sometimes called "adult acne," but it's not the same thing. Acne is caused by oil and bacteria. Rosacea is caused by inflammation. I also have rosacea... the good news is that since I stopped eating gluten, dairy, and corn it's getting a LOT better. Rosacea can also affect your eyes (it's called "ocular rosacea")... a good thing to ask an opthamologist about.

Celiac disease really can affect your whole body! Some people do notice that they feel worse for the first week or two on the gluten-free diet. It's also possible that you have other things going on... other autoimmune disorders, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, etc... I know it's hard to be patient, but you're off to a great start. Keep paying attention to the signals your body is giving you and you'll get this sorted out. I've been off gluten for four months and I'm still figuring things out ;) SOoooo many things are making sense. It just takes time to read and learn and try things to improve your health.

Thank you so much for your kind replies, it is so nice to know there are people out there like this.. It is so comforting to have read your replies. Although my 6 year old has celiac also and my other two are getting checked soon, I feel so alone for some reason. Again, thank you so much for your kind words.

Hope all is doing well :)

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      I agree with @trents, but thank you for bringing this up here!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.
