New Glutening Symptoms

I'm walking around at work this morning thinking, "Hey, my knees are pretty sore" (They get this creaky, un-oiled feeling), so I feel like a granny walking down the stairs. And tonight the small feet bones in my one foot are aching a bit. But it took until tonight for me to realise it's yet another glutening. <_< And I can bet you $20 I'll have stiff hands tomorrow morning, with maybe a bit of carpal tunnel flare-up.

I swear I never had symptoms like these pre-gluten-free! It looks like now that my GI system has calmed down a bit, trace amounts of gluten are affecting the rest of my body a lot worse.

And the source this time - I used a non-stick frying pan to fry up some stirfry last night, when I had used it during the day to fry some gluten-filled sausages for the hubby (I scrubbed it really well ok?!).

I know, I know, I'm going to buy a dedicated pan for myself this weekend :P

You know now that I read your post, I think I get the same thing. Sometimes my knees hurt so bad, but only for a day or so. For me it feels like someone if pushing on one side of my knee cap, like it's relocating. I thought it had something to do with my exercise, but I can never trace it back to a particular move. I'm sure it probably correlates with eating out or eating something processed and getting CC'd. I will have to pay better attention. I feel like an old lady when this happens too, and I'm only 32! :o

When I get glutened my joints swell up(aside fr the GI symptoms). My back hurts, knees, hands, etc. So it's probably from gluten. My hubby is the only one who eats gluten here and that is sparingly. He has his own oven toaster and it's in the basement. In the mainfloor of the house we have nothing with gluten. I think it'll help definitely to get your own kitchenware.

My knees are really achy, too. Do you think it's ok to keep using my old pans that have been scrubbed really well and ran through the dishwasher? I always put them through the dishwasher before re-using and now don't cook anything gluten-y at home (BF can go out for that stuff!). I'm hoping I don't have to buy all new pans and stuff. I did get a new toaster just for me.

It is great to recognize those more subtle symptoms. That will prevent you from long term low level gluten ingestion which has led to total return of symptoms for me. Then it was really hard to figure out what it was.

Hey LauraBeth,

I have wondered the same thing.... I am a substitute teacher, so I haven't worked at all since school got out. Thank goodness school is starting up again here soon, because my "reserves for the summer" are running low. Of course, this Celiac Diagnosis has helped deplete my reserves, especially in the beginning, because I had to stock all of the necessities and it got expensive! I chose to not replace my frying pan, because I simply couldn't afford to. I use "barkeepers friend" (which is a lot like comet but less abrasive) on the cookware and it seems to be fine. When I have an excess in cash again, I'll probably run over to a discount store and get a cheap, but not too cheap, frying pan, etc. That way, I can stop obsessively scrubbing my poor old pan. I haven't noticed any CC from the old pan, but perhaps its mild and I'm barely noticing... but I don't think so.... even though I have learned that I am VERY sensitive.

Good luck to you, and I hope everyone's symptoms get better soon! I have a bad back (bulging disk, and arthritis) but I'm amazed at how much better my chronic pain has gotten since going gluten-free. When I get glutened, sure enough, my back flares up and I'm back on medication. Joint pain, bone pain, etc.... Again, I am baffled by all the ways gluten can hurt us! ((hugs))

Too funny, I'm "ice-ing" my knees as I read this post! I never even thought about possibly getting glutened, even though achy bones were some of my symptoms before diagnosis. That would probably explain the bloating and mild cramps too... :P

Lol, just when I think I've got a hand on this gluten-free lifestyle.... oh my ;) Now it's time to figure out the culprit. It's difficult be the only gluten-free eater in a house full of "glutenites".

I have the same response. I have joint problems right now, knees especially which drives me crazy since I don't sit down during the day. I am sure mine happened eating out with friends last weekend. May I ask how long your symptoms usually last after you get glutened? I had a really bad experience in May where I was bed ridden for two weeks. This is just aggravating...and effecting my work outs which I kind of need to keep everything running smoothly.

The aching bones only lasts for a day or two at most for me, Srall. Stomach problems a few more days.

Good to know I'm not the only one with "granny" knees ;)

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
