Body Aches Without A Fever?

Hello -

I wanted to get some feedback from anyone who might have experienced what I am going through right now. For the past week I have had horrible back pain, body aches and fatigue but no fever. I feel awful! I went in for a urinalysis because the back pain feels like it's radiating into my sides so they thought I could have a kidney infection but that came back normal.

Now my doctor wants to see me today but I'm worried about it. I'm guessing a lot of you may feel the same way - that you were sick your whole life until they finally tested you for celiac and figured out that pretty much all your problems stemmed from that! They finally tested me at age 22 but until then I was so sickly with all kinds of weird things (for several years I went to about 11 doctors on a regular basis). Now I'm 30 and have really been very healthy up until the past year to year and a half (only a regular doctor and a gynocologist for check-ups! woo-hoo!!). I was having GI issues and went through a bunch of testing (all normal!) and now I'm starting with this! They did all the testing to see if I was getting glutened and of course I wasn't-I am extremely careful. I'm so frusterated because I know my body and I know I'm not a hypochondriac but sometimes I feel like doctors think that I am. It just feels like it did before, I would start with one symptom - they would patch that, then I would start with another, they'd patch then and so on a so forth until they found out the root cause....

Does anyone have any experience with this or any advice???

Thanks!

I started getting severe pains, not only in my back, but basically all over, though not all at the same time. They went away quickly once I started on B12 and magnesium. I've also read that deficiencies in other B vitamins, vitamin D, calcium, and other things can cause such pains. Problem is, blood tests do not always indicate a deficiency, even when the supplements help.

I hope you get it figured out soon!

I dont get back pain but I get aches in joints and major fatigue on my self-subscribed gluten-free diet. I've been told the healing process after going gluten free can be painful and difficult, as in, you get better before you get worse.

Also listening to riceguy's advice might help. Deficiency in some minerals can make for a whole load of problems, especially when gluten effects your Villi that absorb the nutrients from your food.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
