Hi Diva1,

Are your joint pains all the time or are they only when you get glutened? If only when you are glutened then the most you can do is either drink some water to try to flush the system, sometimes it works sometimes not, take some L-glutamine. Again, sometimes helps sometimes not. Take a hot bath and curl up in your favorite pajamas and just try to wait it out. Sorry.

But if you have joint pains all the time try to eliminate all the nightshade vegetables, that will help some. If you get glutened the nightshade veggies will increase the pain. At least it did for me anyway. Hope you get to feeling better. Also, soy causes pain a lot too.

I followed an elimination diet to determine which items were allergens. Once I eliminated those items all my symptoms cleared up.

I occasionally become glutened even with the best intentions. Those flares are unbearable. As my digestive system started healing the reactions to an accidental gluttening decreased.

It did start to get better. Hopefully, your flares will decrease in intensity.

Just reading your question gives me some comfort because I'm not alone!! Have just been tested for gluten intolerance but I know that it what has been my problem for about 6 years now and I am determined never to have it again. I've been gluten free for two days and am still feeling terrible but will stick it out because (especially after my christmas gluten binge that enough is enough!!) In have really bad joint pains, exhaustion, eye pain, eye problems, occasional rashes and bumps, weakness and mental confusion/ anxiety. Its so amazing to see other people writing what Ive always suspected and every time i've been to the doctor felt like a complete looney trying to explain . . . even people's "glutened" reactions. anyway but im wondering now am i reacting to carageenan and sulfites (which i think i probably am) or am i just in gluten withdrawal because i still feel pretty bad. but i am getting the urge to go sniff bread . . . !! anway hope your feeling better.

I found magnesium to be incredibly helpful for various body/joint/muscle pains. And I second the suggestion to avoid nightshades - they really brought on the pain in my case.

Many celiacs with joint pain find that dairy triggers their joint pain as much as gluten. Sad, but common. You may need to eliminate all dairy, not just lactose.

Another thing you can try for joint pain is to have your Vitamin D3 levels checked by blood work. My husband has been gluten free for about 8 years and still was having joint pain over entire body. Had blood work done and found out that his Vitamin D3 levels were low. Doctor put him on 4 weeks of vitamin D prescription and the pain is entirely gone. He has to stay on over the counter Vitamin D3 once a day but he no longer has any pain.

      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
