Muscle Weakness, Aches And Pains?


Las

Recommended Posts

Las Newbie

I've been Celiac diagnosed since November 2011, and doing much better since Gluten free! But I have been seriously in pain in my joints, especially in my Knees and hips, but all joints ache and I am very stiff in joints also. Lately I can't get up from kneeling without help (I'm only early 50's).

Though I have been warned about possible dairy or lactose intolerance, I figured I could just take a 'dairy ease' pill if it bothered me... so I continued to eat dairy... until now. I've been researching it further and think it might be the dairy????? Anyone else experienced with this??? Any advice or help out there??

Thanks in advance! :)

If you have casein intolerance, like I do, you just have to avoid it like gluten. It's a different issue from lactose intolerance, and the pills won't help. There can be many different causes of joint pain, including arthritis. Other autoimmune diseases are associated with celiac. Other food sensitivities can be involved. I do suggest testing for additional food sensitivities, if you can.

      Are you addressing possible/probable vitamin and mineral deficiencies through some serious supplementation?

      I’ve been avoiding oats and dairy and simply been eating more Whole Foods but I somehow always have symptoms.. I tried eating different food for a week including eggs meats and veggies alongside gluten free brown pasta and somehow I still managed to wake up today with a headache, anxiety, and just gi distress. It’s very annoying but I’m trying to find a suitable diet since I’m so young and just want to heal my intestines before moving onto things like milk and oats. I had a fear for awhile that I may have refractory celiac but I’ve noticed it wasn’t very common amongst newly diagnosed people.

      Welcome to the forum, @DanteZaffar! Are you still eating oats (even gluten free oats) and dairy? There are other foods besides those that contain gluten that can cause celiac-like reactions. We call this "cross reactivity" (not to be confused with cross contamination). Their proteins are similar enough in structure to gluten to trigger the same kind of reaction. Oats and dairy are perhaps the most common offenders. You might try eliminating these two from your diet for awhile and see if symptoms improve. With dairy, lactose intolerance can also be an issue but often resolves in time when sufficient healing in the small bowel lining has taken place.
