Joint Pain And Total Knee Surgery Part Of Celiac Disease?

I have not been diagnosed yet but wondered. I have had joint pain for a long time. and 2 years ago have had to have total knee replacement surgery for both knees. I am 45 now and when I was 38 was told from a doctor that I had the knees of a 70 y/o. Was going to have the surgery then but found out 4 days before surgery I was pregnant.

Has anyone else had Joint pain then had to have surgery on joints at a young age?

I also have had D since I was 12 and have just been Diagnosed with IBS and have had lactose intolerance since I was 12.

Still wondering if what I have is Celiac, or do I just have IBS and arthitis and it is all a coincidence.

Thank you

Sherry Lynn

In my case the arthritis and IBS along with a lot of other stuff was connected. My arthritis has been in total remission now since a few months after diagnosis. After you are done with testing do give the diet a good strict try for a few months even if the results are negative. My IBS symptoms resolved fairly quickly but the arthritis took a bit longer to resolve.

Agreed with Ravenwood :) Get tested first, and then immediately go gluten-free anyway for a few weeks to see if it clears up symptoms even if tests come back negative.

I get very sore knees (they feel "unoiled"/creaky) when I get accidently glutened. I've also noticed my back pain coming back the last week or so when I was glutened, so wondering if that's related as well...

Thank you both for answering my question. I am very anxous about seeing the doctor, I hope he can help me. I am soooo tired of having a sore and painful tummy.

I am also having alot of pain in my arms and legs. stabbing type pain and an achy pain that I have had for years and years. I will let you know what he says.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Beverage · Posted

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.
