I'm 18 and was diagonased a little over 2 years ago and have been extremly strick with my gluten-free diet ever since. Last summer I had a case of pneumonia for about 2 weeks and got over that about 2 weeks later I got this super intense pain in my chest it was so bad that I couldn't move it covered my left side from about midribs to my neck, my mom called the doctor and they told me to take an antiacid and call back if it didn't help. well it didn't so my mom called back and she had me come in, the doctor examined me and said I probibly pulled a muscle in betwen my ribs and it would go away. they put me on pain kilers, tylonol with codine and then a stronger one and neither of them helped. this intense pain lasted about a month but i had to go back to school with in 2 weeks, so i powered through. I keep getting the same pain off and on to where it brings tears to breath and the pain is over within 1 or 2 minutes. has anyone else experienced anything like this if so i could really use some info because i my doctor doesn't believe me (looking for a new doc.)

thanks

nicole

It can be a pinched nerve in your spine, not muscle. Go to see good chiropractor. He should check your spine and correct it. It happened to me many times. The pain is unbearable and just very little movement would set it off. The pain pills wouldn't help much, if the nerve is still pinched.

Others may have different ideas, but to me it sounds like pinched nerve.

Sounds to me like Open Original Shared Link had it happen twice. Terrible. No association with Celiac Disease so far as I know.

      Thank you both very much. I’m pretty familiar with the various tests, and my older two girls with official dxs have even participated in research on other tests as well. I just felt overwhelmed and shocked that these recent results (which I found pretty dang conclusive after having scott clean labs just six months ago) would still be considered inconclusive. Doc said we could biopsy in another six weeks because my daughter was actually way more upset than I anticipated about the idea of eating it for years before doing another biopsy. It doesn’t hurt her, but she’s afraid of how it may be hurting her in ways she can’t feel. She’s currently eating mini wheats for breakfast, a sandwich with lunch, and a side of pasta along with every dinner, so I’m hoping we’re meeting that 10g benchmark mentioned in that second article!

      Have you tried a genetic test to look for Celiac genes?  No gluten challenge required.

      Hello, @ElisaAllergiesgluten, Have you tried going on a low histamine Paleo diet like the Autoimmune Protocol diet?  A low histamine AIP diet would help your body rid itself of the extra histamine it's making in response to allergies.  Are you Celiac as well?   Since we need more thiamine when we're stressed, adding Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine Vitamin B 1, can help the body calm down it's release of histamine.  Benfotiamine improves Sailors' asthma.

      Don't skimp on the gluten daily while undergoing the gluten challenge!

      So, I've been using a gluten free labeled toothpaste since being diagnosed with celiac. No big deal, the toothpaste seems to work. Question is, I just realized it contains hydrated silica.  Now, I've heard that silicon dioxide can cause issues in some people with celiac (was that ever confirmed though?), so to be safe, I cut it out of my diet entirely. But, as I understand it, hydrated silica is related to silicon dioxide. Is that something to worry about, or is the hydrated form not known to cause issues like the silicon dioxide form?  I've never seen it in food, but nearly every toothpaste I look at contains hydrated silica?  Issue or not?  Any scientific research (Not opinion pieces, not health bloggers, you get my gist), but actual science, that says it's an issue? I have a hard time believing 99% of what I read on random internet searches.    Thanks so much, Renee.
