Foot Pain=Gluten?


Ashlynn6

Recommended Posts

Ashlynn6 Rookie

I'm a few months new to gluten free. I've noticed so many of my old daily symptoms were gluten related and have now gone away. I used to have very bad stomach problems with gluten, but have now noticed when cc that I only get a very very bad headache. No stomach problems noticeable. Is this true? Does your reaction to gluten change over time?

Also just throwing this out there, the arc of my right foot has been tingling / grabbing me. Could this be gluten related?

When I get glutened, my feet hurt so bad I can hardly stand it. My 8 yr old son also whined about his feet constantly before being dx. Now they don't bother him so much unless he gets glutened.

I have some sort of presumably nerve pain in my hands and feet that are worse when I eat gluten. However, I wouldn't call them a glutened symptom for me, because I wouldn't feel it right away.

when i get glutened my feet and legs tingle, i get a headache, brain fog, and i am so tired. no gut symptoms. celiac is weird, it is also different for everyone. you just have to figure out your own warning signs, then take it easy until you recover.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise. Is that false?

      I agree with @trents, but thank you for bringing this up here!

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.
