I have been off of gluten for the past 5 weeks, and for the last 2-3 weeks i've had the worst back pain ever! i've nvr had muscle/joint pain before and dunno if it's from gluten withdrawal?? :huh: it's soo bad when i wake up i can barely move! then iy gets better when i'm up and moving around but will still kind of throb thru out the day. i was thinkin maybe it's from my job as i'm at a desk for 12 hrs but i've been doin the same thing for 7 months with no sore back! could it be gluten withdrawal?? :(

I could be wrong but I think this is more like to be from cross contamination in something you are still eating. I get awful back pain when glutened mostly due to kidney damage.

It could be from other food intolerances. I hope it goes away soon. I still have backk pain but don't think it is cc because the D isn't present now. I do know that I have many, many food intolerances but haven't been able to pinpoint what is causing the pain. I definitely think it is food related though.

You may want to drop soy and dairy for a bit and see if that helps. If it does then after a month or so add them back in one at a time and see if the pain restarts. Some folks also have problems with nightshades if the dropping soy and dairy doesn't help then you may want to consider dropping the nightshades and see if that helps.

Thanks so much for the replies! The pain is on the left side of my backonly, below my shoulder blade but above my hip. So should i cut out dairy, soy, and nightshade veggies at the same time? potatos are nightshade, so does that mean i have to cut out potato chips too? this is so confusing. why only the one side of my back tho? i've been very careful so don't think it's cc.. but it could be.. who knows.. :unsure: i was thinking of going to physio to see if they can tell if i've maybe pulled something somehow??

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!

      I checked consumer labs that I'm a member of they independently check products for safely and claims the wolfs was rated great and bobs redmill buckwheat cereal. Ultra low gotten no dangerous levels of arsenic heavy metals, mold, yeast etc. plus they mention to refrigerate. I wonder if the raw buckwheat they rinse bc it's not toasted like kasha. Toasted removes the grassy taste I have to try the one you mentioned. I also bought Qia which is a quinoa mixed got great reviews.
