Whole Body Hurting?

Is this a common symptom? My daughter has been gluten-free for about 6 weeks. Celiac was caught extremely early stages. Prior to diagnosis, she would often complain of her whole body hurting - like the body aches you get when you're sick. Those complaints had gone away but have come back in the last 2 days, usually at night. She also deals with Type 1 diabetes and epilepsy; it can be hard to figure out what is related to what. Thank you.

Oh MY!

That sounds just like me! My whole body feels like I am getting the flu.

I am gluten-free for almost a month and was "ok" but this weekend, I just feel horrible, sick, flu like...

I think these things take time and everybody is different...I hope she feels better soon

I don't know if it's common, but I used to be like that. I remember complaining that I felt like I was 100 years old. I think I was about 28 at the time. I always attributed it to being overweight, and then to the arthritic joint pain I started experiencing. It had gotten to the point that I was taking ibuprofen every day just to get moving.

After eliminating gluten, I mostly stopped hurting. I ate wheat a few days ago, and I feel awful today. Right now my whole body hurts, from my head to my toes and everywhere in between.

Is it possible your daughter has accidentally eaten some gluten? Or could she be developing a sensitivity to another food in her diet? Did she eat anything new in the past week or so?

I think for people with neurolgic symptoms, body/joint/muscle pain is very common. When I get gluten, my body feels like a combination of flu, migraine, and hangover. I don't really get digestive symptoms.

Thank you! I am wondering if she was glutened. She hasn't eaten anything different, but maybe it was cross-contamination. We had been doing so well; hopefully this will pass quickly.

I decided to go gluten free because of horrible migraines. Since going gluten free, I have seen a significant decrease in my migraines. However, when I first eliminated gluten I had one of the worst migraines I've ever had and my joint pain felt worse. I almost gave up because I thought I couldn't be gluten intolerant if I was still feeling so bad. My mom and husband were wonderfully supportive and after two weeks I began to finally feel better. But, I have to say that it took me four months for my exhaustion and body pain to fully go away. I recently read an article on gluten withdrawal and I think I may have had that. I accidentally glutened myself 2 times since then and I KNOW it because of how similarly horrible I feel. I have been gluten free for 9 months now and feel wonderful. Hang in there!

I'm pretty sure now that she was glutened somehow. The pain lasted on and off for about 4 days and then went away.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
