Does Muscle Pain Come Back With Glutening?

[tiredofbeingsickandtired]

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 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.

Today is much better, I was able to run today. I'm wiped out but very thankful

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.
