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 :)

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
