Do I Have Ms Too?

Just wondering if anyone else has a hidden worry of MS? by hidden I mean, you have things going on in your body, but you went undiagnosed with celiac so long

and complained to your doctor only to be branded a worrier or hypochondriac.

So my ttg antibodies have been negative for quite a while, but new problems have arisen since my diagnosis in april 2010. My hip bursitis has almost gone away, but now I have persisten muscle pain in my right calf, espeicially after being at rest and then standing up to walk. My last visit to my celiac doc I showed her my muscle fasciculation in my right arm which had been going on for several months. She contacted a neurologist and he felt it was benign. I was having muscle twitching in my finger, eyelid, then it moved to my right tricep.

Went to pulmonary doc due to bouts of bronchitis and now I am on an inhaler for some type of asthma I can't remember. I also have reflux/hearburn every day.

now I have epiditimytis!! and the inflammation continues after 3 weeks on levaquin. could all of these problems be related to neuropathy of some kind? the after effects of 40 years of undiagnosed celiac? Do I now need to go to a neurologist? OY!!!

any input from the forum would be appreciated....

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
