I had costochondritis years ago and wrote it off as an isolated symptom. Years later, I don't have pain anymore but find I find a hard time getting a really good inhaling breath and tend to yawn - a lot. The same as when I was diagnosed with costo. Every so often when I do try and get a really good inhale, I get a sharp pain. I have to eat a very certain way and if I stray I feel this way, when I am super strict, there are no symptoms at all.

I have been plagued by Costochondritis off and on.  I did not know it from from Celiac disease until I found this thread.

Yes!  Yes! and Heck Yes!    I have been thinking I am this lone crazy person who when ever I eat anything with Gluten; Wheat, Beans, Potatoes, and Rice.....I get a rash on my sides and my ribs hurt. 

I was diagnosed with  Contortionists while working EMS, thought I had hurt myself lifting a patient, nothing would get the pain to go away.  My doctor had me try an elimination diet and I took out gluten........BAM! the pain went away or dropped.   Now if I cheat and eat something I regret the pain comes back.  This is such a life changer to know people other than just me deal with this.

I hate the looks when I go out to eat and question every ingredient, the stigma from people who do not have this!   Now I have found others and I am going to tell those negative Nancy folks to kiss my butt!  The pain in my ribs is not in my head

Welcome to the forum. The thread you posted in is pretty old, so they may not see your post, but I'm glad you found us!

It sounds like you are self diagnosed with gluten intolerance, which is now called non-celiac gluten sensitivity, for which there currently isn't a screening test, but up to 10x more people have than celiac disease. 

It also sounds like you never were screened for celiac disease, which you could have based on your symptoms. Unfortunately to get screened you would need to eat gluten daily for 6-8 weeks, which is sounds like you would not ever do. You may want to let your first degree relatives know about this so they can be screened.

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.
