Pain Getting Worse


sherrylynn

Recommended Posts

sherrylynn Contributor

I have been gluten free for 5 days and I have been extremely vigilant. I am having a great increase in my joint pain and bone pain.

Is this the normal process? has anyone else got worse pain before it got better?

I will be getting the official word tomorrow from the doc if this is celiac. I just thought the pain would get better. The "D" has gotten better.

How long did it take for everyone else to stop having D after going gluten free? I learned in nutrition class that the entire digestive tract renews itself in about 5 days but I thought the micro villi would not renew itself that fast.

any thought on this?

thank you for any input you can give.

First, WELCOME

I will let others give you info on the GI issues, as I am relatively new and havn't had much problems with that. I did have joint and leg pains that were worse before they were better. It's been 4 weeks now, though and I am off my arthristis medication. I had gluten last week and had joint pain again, which has taken a bit to resolve. Give yourself time, we are all different, but hopefully you will be feeling great in no time!! :D

Thank you for reponding. this pain is horrible. my legs have been cramping all night last night and all day. every time i move my legs they cramp and my arms have cramped a little today too and they don't normally cramp.

I can't wait to feel better. it feels like I have been struggling with this for sooo long.

lots of things can make your joints hurt besides wheat and gluten. nightshades can inflame your joints, soy can for some. and also for some people- dairy puts their body in an acidic state which pulls the calcium from the bones.

for me and my family-> we've all noticed wheat & gluten & potatoes worsening our joints.

ive been 100% gluten free for about 10 weeks now... and the last 2 weeks my knees have been more stiff... but that may have nothing to do with my diet- because i already have some Osteoarthritis in my knees from years of dancing.

so- there's many things at play when it comes to your joints.

and as far as the gut healing in 5 days- im just not sure how that can always be true. ??

oh- ps- im sure there's other things too that can worsen your joints- like sulfites, or soda, or chemicals... aspartame, etc...

Some people go through a bit of withdrawal when they go off gluten. Hang in there for a bit!

As far as villous damage, it depends on how bad it was. The process is generally a few months for mild damage out to 2-5 years for total atrophy.

I am also gluten free for about a week now after my diagnosis of celiac disease just before (week and half ago).I had no noticeable symptoms good or bad during the gluten free phase until tonight at 4:00 this morning. My WHOLE body hurts. My bones and my muscles..ALL over. I have to be at work at 6:00 for a 12 hour nursing shift. This should be fun. I realize that many of the posts here are over a year old but maybe someone else will find this helpful.

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?
    • Francis M
      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
