Heel Pain

I have noticed since I have been doing the gluten challenge that I have had quite a bit of heel pain when I stand on them.

It is usually more pronounced when I first stand on them then lessens as I walk around more.

Anyone else get this?

Thanks,

Jen

I have a couple of thoughts, but guessing not knowing more information:

1. If you have Celiac, and not absorbing, you body will go for food where it can find it. Your bottom, the heels of your feet or other fatty parts, can feed your starving body. I have had a lifetime of suffering from "noassital". :rolleyes:

2. Not gluten related, but do you where flip flops? They are awful for your feet, and can generate the type of pain you described.

3. Fibromyalgia is associated with unchecked Celiac Disease.

4. Are you taking cholesterol lowering meds?

I used to have horrible foot/heel/Achilles tendon pain. It was so bad- I could barely walk. It was much worse in the AM or anytime I had been off my feet for a while. My PCP told me it was plantar fasciitis and sent me to physical therapy. Didn't really help. I was taking a generic statin for cholesterol and the pain was greatly reduced when I quit taking the prescription. I have since found out it is a side effect of the Rx and the Rx was not gluten free. The pain is now completely gone since going gluten free. Good luck with your challenge.

No I don't wear flipflops (anything in between my toes makes me nauseaus) also, I can only tolerate certain types of shoes due to nerve issues.

No medication at all.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
