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 ;)

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
