Gluten Symptom Or Not?

[rmmadden]

I am curious to know if anyone else gets knots in their shoulders, neck and/or back from a gluten episode?

When I am gluten-free I don't have any of these symptoms/problems but boy do I get tight in the shoulders when I am suffering thru a gluten attack. I can feel the knots and it just adds to the misery on top of the lousy gluten feeling.

Can anyone relate?

Thanks!

I can definitely relate. I had pain in my neck and shoulder area for years. A physical therapist said they felt like "grape clusters" only harder. No one could explain why I had them, an MD called them muscle spasms and I took a lot of muscle relaxants which helped. When I went gluten-free they went away and so far haven't returned (YAY)!

Sounds like fibromyalgia.

I totally agree with your feelings. When I have a a problem the first thing that bothers me after the intestinal bloating and constipation is pains all through my neck and jowels. If I keep to a very strict diet is seems to go away after a couple days; but if I keep bothering it, it ends up with severe pains and swelling.

It's never forgiving of a bit of a slip-up.

It doesn't sound like fibromyalgia as that disease is significantly more pervasive toward the muscles in the back and around the ribs. Celiac Disease has many different symptoms and myalgia is not one of them; however, if you are on a cholesterol medication it can cause myalgia and would check that if those meds are administered. People who have celiac disease are people who become stressed with negative stressors. I don't know if this is what has caused celiac disease to surface or it is a part of the disease. People experience stress in many ways and one of those which is most common is a tightening in the shoulders, neck and jowels. However, what I have found is that there is stress reduction while gluten-free. I find it important to remain gluten-free with no cheating.

HELLO, YES I DO, BUT DID NO REALISE THIS WAS CAUSED BY GLUTEN, THOUGHT IT WAS FROM SITTING TOO LONG AT THE COMPUTOR. THE ONLY THING I COULD PUT IT DOWN TO OTHER THAN SITTING, IS I HAVE RYE BREAD 100% FROM TIME TO TIME, AND SOMETIMES GET A HEADACHE, WOULD YOU KNOW HOW MUCH GLUTEN CONTENT THERE IS IN RYE FLOUR?

HAVE A GREAT DAY,
