Been gluten free for 14 months, and still having some trouble with digestive issues, joint/muscle pain, headaches, and fatigue. The past month or so I've started to be extremely thirsty all the time and my mouth is very dry and lips very chapped. I've also started urinating at least 5-6 times per day because I try and drink enough water because I'm thirsty. Has this happened to anyone? Any idea what this could be?

make sure you are checking in with your doc- and see if you need testing for any other autoimmune diseases...

just make sure your doc is ruling out anything serious.

other than that- you may have to figure out if you're getting any hidden gluten, or if you need to eliminate any other foods.

ps- is 5-6 times a day a lot????? i pee every hour or 2

I believe that we absorb over 70% of intake fluids in the small intestines. Have you recheck everything in your diet. Could some gluten be slipping in through meds, vitamins, lotions, lip balm, shared equipment, or something new you have introduced in the past month?

Or maybe your blood sugar is a little off.

Dry mouth can be something as simple as a side effect of medication. Chewing gum sometimes helps and there are artificial saliva substitutes, a lack of sufficient saliva can contribute to dental problems like cavities so it's a good idea to treat it.

Excessive thirst could indicate another (not uncommon and very treatable) autoimmune so I second checking in with your doc. Not just to be on the safe side but also because with some diseases good management can halt or reverse its progression.

      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.
