Joint Pain


MrsBaker

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I started having joint pain seven months ago and it was all over my body ( hands,feet, ankles,, wrists, shoulders, neck, back, and other places) and couldn't barely even walk for a couple of months. I went to the doctors where I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and hashimoto. After a while the pain did not get any better and I went to the joint specialist and he diagnosed me with celiac disease about three weeks ago. I have been eating completely gluten free but still have flare ups. I also have stopped eating nightshades because they would make it worse. But I noticed that have eating dairy, my joints would get worse throughout the day. Is this common to have problems with dairy? Also, is there any natural medications that I can take to relieve my pain and does anyone have some recipe ideas that are gluten, dairy, and nightshade free?

Thanks,

Jess

For me i must avoid gluten, dairy, and sugar. My joint pain comes back if i have any of those.I have been doing this for 2 years and it has helped me tremendously. Hope you find out all those things that irritate your system so you feel well!

I was told to avoid dairy when starting out on the gluten free diet. Your body needs to adjust to the changes. I waited a few months after starting my new diet, and can now have it with no problems. BUT, some people find out they are intolerant to dairy also. I take Osteo-Bi Flex every day, my joints started to feel better after about week. I know that's gluten free, dont know about dairy free? Hope you feel better!

You should also try googling gluten, dairy and nightshade free recipes as there are other sites there. I can do dairy so I am no expert on dairy free cooking but the websites you find on google should help. :)

I did have to give up dairy for about 6 months but then went back to it with out the problems.

      oops. I didn't see that before posting or I would have at least referenced it. The two recipes are pretty similar, but I think the newer one is a little simpler/faster. Next time though I will search more before posting.

      I love Middle Eastern food and eggplant, and here is another version we shared some time back:

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      This may not be the cause, it's pure speculation on my part, but for 10-15 years I had a tingling/burning/electric-like shock sensation that emanated from my right-neck upward across the right-side of my head. I was worried about having a stroke or something so got all sorts of tests done, including an MRI, which found not much--only a minor degenerative disk in my neck--which I just accepted as the cause. Fast forward to when I was ~45 and I was hit with shingles in the EXACT place that this sensation would travel--I ended up with a very painful case of shingles that felt like the right-side of my head had been set on fire, and had the blistering and pain that ran along the exact path of nerves that I had felt this sensation travel along for the prior 10-15 years. For me, that time period was a shingles pre-cursor, and all those feelings were likely inflammation in my nerves. Needless to say I've not had this since getting my shingles vaccines at 50.  Your situation could very well be something else, but I just wanted to mention this possibility because your symptoms sound similar to what I experienced. I'm not sure if you're in the age range to get a shingles vaccine, but it may be something to consider.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Richard Rusnak! The short answer is "No". Barley is a gluten-containing grain. The three gluten-containing grains are wheat, barley and rye.  Barley and rye contain less gluten than wheat but still should be avoided. Understand that smaller amounts of gluten may not produce a noticeable reaction in so far as symptoms go, but they still may be causing some inflammation in the gut. Products derived from gluten-containing grains should also be avoided, for instance malt and malt flavoring.
