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 :)

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!

      I checked consumer labs that I'm a member of they independently check products for safely and claims the wolfs was rated great and bobs redmill buckwheat cereal. Ultra low gotten no dangerous levels of arsenic heavy metals, mold, yeast etc. plus they mention to refrigerate. I wonder if the raw buckwheat they rinse bc it's not toasted like kasha. Toasted removes the grassy taste I have to try the one you mentioned. I also bought Qia which is a quinoa mixed got great reviews.
