Joint Pain Question

Hi guys, patiently awaiting my results. I was wondering if you can describe your joint pain to me. I have two different kinds, one that is like a stinging and deep pain that hits from a few seconds to minutes and mainly smaller joints like in my finger or toes, foot, sometimes ankle. Does anyone get these? It feels like a cross between a quick bee sting and deep bone pain.

The other pain I get is loose joint pain, when my joints grind...

All my symptoms seem to come in waves and with different degrees of severity. At its worst, I was getting hundreds of muscle twitching per day, as well as hundreds of joint cracks, and I had the stinging/zapping pains hopping around my joints all day. However, that was when I was undergoing serious stress.

Ugh....joint pain is the WORST! The stinging pain sounds like it might be nerve pain which is awful. I've had neuropathy off and on and the only thing that helps me is ketoprofen (it's an anti-inflammatory my doctor prescibes- for some reason it works on nerve pain).

For muscle twiching/spasming, I take a magnesium supplement and that helps. Make sure you stay hydrated as well.

Hope you get your results soon. Going gluten-free should help! You may want to ask your doctor about an anti-inflammatory until then.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
