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.

      Some backup to my statement about gluten and milk. Some background.  When my son was born in 1976 he was colicky from the beginning.  When he transitioned to formula it got really bad.  That's when we found the only pediactric gastroenterologist (in a population of 6 million that dealt with Celiac Disease (and he only had 14 patients with celiac disease), who dianosed by biopsy and started him on Nutramegen.  Recovery was quick. The portion of gluten that passes through to breastmilk is called gliadin. It is the component of gluten that causes celiac disease or gluten intolerance. What are the Effects of Gluten in Breastmilk? Gliaden, a component of gluten which is typically responsible for the intestinal reaction of gluten, DOES pass through breast milk.  This is because gliaden (as one of many food proteins) passes through the lining of your small intestine into your blood. Can gluten transmit through breast milk?

      I don't know of a connection. Lots of people who don't have celiac disease/gluten issues get shingles.

      I’m 43, just newly diagnosed with a horrible case of shingles last week . They are all over my face , around my eye, ear , all in my scalp. Lymph nodes are a mess. Ear is a mess. My eye is hurting and sensitive. Pain has been a 10/10+ daily. Taking Motrin and Tylenol around the clock. I AM MISERABLE. The pain is unrelenting. I just want to cry.   But Developing shingles has me a bit concerned about my immune system which also has me wondering about celiac and if there’s a connection to celiac / gluten and shingles; particularly since I haven't been 💯 gluten free because of all the confusing test results and doctors advice etc., is there a connection here? I’ve never had shingles and the gluten/ celiac  roller coaster has been ongoing for a while but I’ve had gluten off and on the last year bc of all the confusion

      There were some interesting talks, particularly Prof Ludvig Stollid's talk on therapeutics for coeliac disease.    https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRcl2mPE0WdigRtJPvylUJbkCx263KF_t

      Thank you @trents for letting me know you experience something similar thanks @knitty kitty for your response and resources.  I will be following up with my doctor about these results and I’ll read the articles you sent. Thanks - I really appreciate you all.
