Joint Pain And Weight Gain After Being Gluten Free

I was diagnosed with celiac in September 2011 and have now been gluten free since November. A lot of the problems I was having before going gluten free are getting better, but some are getting worse. I am eating good and trying to exercise as much as I can. I have put on 20lbs in the past 3 months and I have extreme joint and muscle pain that gets worse by the day. My doctor and nutritiousness ordered more blood work and said my body is just getting use to the food absorbing in my body. I would like to know if anyone with celiac has had either of these things happen to them? My doctors are good but I need to here from someone who has experienced the same or similar symptoms I have. Thank you for your help

How old are you if you don't mind me asking? Could this be unrelated to going to gluten free? Are you at the age where arthritis might be starting or is there a strong family history of RA?

I get joint pain as a sign of glutening. You could try to keep a food diary.

Hello I am 42 and up until September was pretty health I was always tired but I thought that went with working and being a mother of four. I have battled anemia my whole life no one ever seemed concerned. My parents are in their sixties and are pretty health and my grandparents all live into their late 80s early 90s with out many health problems.I just feel I am to young to be feeling the way I am feeling sometimes I can barely stand up. Let me know if you can think of something thanks.

Thank you but I do keep a diary and I really try to check before I eat, wash or use makeup if it contains gluten and if I can't find out I don't use it.But I will double check.Thanks again

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By cristiana · Posted

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
