Does Muscle Pain Come Back With Glutening?

Well Im so stupid, I've been trying to keep my kids on gluten until they can test (well 2 of them because one felt so much better after going gluten free with me he doesnt want to bother)..but anyway I glutened myself pretty good. I think it must've been the griddle or other CC while cooking.

I can barely hold my eyes open, stomach is so messed up, bloated, and I feel like a mac truck has hit me. I hurt all over and break a sweat just climbing the stairs. I've glutened myself before but not had the muscle and joint pain like this. Is this normal? I'm so upset with myself because I'd done so well these past few weeks. Is there anything I can do? Should I not exercise while I'm in pain, I can't avoid walking because that's my job, but I wonder about strength training, really exercising etc?

Don't you just hate when you do that to yourself? I always say If I wanted to feel bad I would have done it on something I really like :rolleyes: Yes, my deep muscle and joint pain comes back when I get glutened and stays around four to five days.

I know, I was thinking that I might as well of hit Pizza Inn head on. yikes on the 4-5 days. This is so not worth it. I was seeking a diagnosis for the kids because of their dad. Honestly him and his family didn't even listen to me when I asked them to keep our asthmatic child away from cigarette smoke, so they probably would ignore this too. He's only had them 2 times this entire year so at least its minimal exposure if it turns out that they all need to stay clear of gluten.

I think that exercising as much as I can manage helps with the symptoms of glutening.

I take something for pain if it gets too bad, then mostly just endulge my syptoms with rest and safe food.

I get lower back pain when I am glutened. It even hurts to sneeze. Frankly, before I went gluten-free, I never noticed back pain like this. I run daily, and the first 1/4 mile is rough b/c my back is so stiff. But exercise warms the muscle, and loosens it, so I usually feel better afterward. The back pain lasts up to 5 days. And the first couple of days, it is back pain, and overall body ache like when you have the flu.

I get AWFUL muscle and joint pain. I cant do anything without being in pain so I just sit in a hot bath and wait for it to go away. It sucks.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
