Hi, I currently tried a 2 month trial for gluten free. Some of my symptoms decreased heavily, but I wanted a medical diagnosis. So I've been eating gluten for about a month and quite a few of my symptoms have came back and more. The bad gas came back, bloating more, the first time trying bread again I had to rush to the toilet a few times (d) and have got it odd times. Symptoms what have came since before, fatigued, dry lips a lot more especially in the morning, heel pain,dizziness and I've developed a lump on my foot (opposite to a bonion, called a bonionette if it is that) Are these all symptoms too? Could some be a nutritional deficiency?(Bone pain?) Thanks

I had a lot of problems when I reintroduced gluten for the challenge, much worse than before. I had already been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, which leads to heel pain, which might be worth looking at. Mine disappeared again when I went gluten-free. It returns if I get glutened. I think it is a generalized inflammation that gets us on gluten sometimes.

Good luck with the challenge, not fun. I gave up on doctor's orders after 3 weeks. I hope you get the diagnosis you want, but if you get negative tests, consider non celiac gluten intolerance. I had negative tests, including genes, so my GI diagnosed NCGI. It might be worth keeping a record of symptoms on ane off gluten, my GI used these in diagnosis.

Best wishes Mw

Hi There.

I am new to this but I just had to comment because I have similar symptoms. Have not yet been diagnosed yet, but had blood work done last week now waiting on results.

I have also been diagnosed with plantar facilis, pardon the spelling, but never really thought it could be connected. Also have dry lips too. My stomach has felt uneasy for weeks, lots of gas, having really loose stools, heartburn and acid reflex. Joint pain has been really bad lately and I have been diagnosed with a fistula.

It's just really nice I could find some others with the same kind of symptoms and its not all in my head!

Should also mention celiac disease runs in the famliy, grandmother, aunt and some cousins.

Think I should try going gluten free starting this week and see if things improve.

Anyhow sorry to ramble on.

Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback! It runs in my family to as my mother has it. I'm just hoping it is celiac when I get tested to stop all my problems!

Hey goodtime, just to let you know that if you need or choose an endoscopy or further blood tests, you need to be eating gluten still, so maybe consider holding off until testing is complete, if you want a diagnosis.

I wish you luck with finding the root of your problems. It is amazing what can turn out to be related

Just to reiterate, as difficult as it is, please stay on gluten until your biopsy----for the most accurate result.

FWIW, I had what was called "Plantar fasciitis" too.

"itis" which means " inflammation" -- can occur anywhere in the body with a gluten problem.

In 2007, (before DX when I was very ill and did not know why) I had to have special inserts made, but still suffered terrible foot pain. I felt like I was stepping on glass when I got out of bed every morning and I could not walk without pain.

Now, 2 years after diagnosis, I have NO foot pain symptoms whatsoever and there is no need for the inserts a podiatrist told me I would "wear forever". This is just my experience, of course! :)

Mindwarp, I was thinking if the blood test is positive I would just go gluten free and see if symptoms go away after time. I am already having a colonoscopy this month. It's prescreening to make sure I do not have Chron's or something else. Before I have surgery on the fistula. So I figure that is enough poking and prodding for now.

Irish Heart my plantar fasciitis is now a mild discomfort and in the left heel, when it first started it was really bad. But 2 days after it went away, than the next day was back again like it was at the first which is weird!

Anyhow I will keep you's posted on results and guess I will stay on gluten so if test come back neg they can do further testing.

Thanks for the replies!

      Yeah, that one is always hard, especially since life seems to revolve around food. That happened to me 2 weeks ago with hibachi and with Hungarian hot dogs. I used to be more picky, but now I would love to try all the things if I could. On the bright side, my husband is absolutely wonderful with it, and his mom often brings a few certified gluten-free things to family get-togethers just for me (and tries to make sure main dishes are safe too). Having the people closest to you be supportive can make a huge difference.

      I hear you. My extended family is very good about factoring in my celiac disease safety needs when making family celebration meal plans but sometimes it breaks down in the spur of the moment decisions to "Oh, let's go out and get some teriyaki" or the like. Especially when my brother in law comes into town 'cause he's pretty particular about what he likes to eat. So, sometimes I just say, "You guys go ahead without me. I'll find some leftovers." But, still, I admit to feeling a little left out at such times and a little like a 5th wheel.

      Same, and I appreciate your comments. I just needed to get it off my chest. Sometimes, even when its a genuine mistake, it can feel all too hurtful and I didn't want to go back to work tomorrow still in my feelings.

      Yes, probably slipped his mind. Grace is in order here is my thought.

      I should have added that, while I dont have access during the meetings, I do as soon as I leave them (same for him) so I would have seen before I even left work. He has my number since we've needed to coordinate by cell a few times for work and other stuff. I usually have a protein bar or two in my desk for emergencies so I could have grabbed one of those and gone to meet them at the right restaurant.  Someone else decided on the change of restaurant and it must have slipped his mind that I wasn't coming back to my desk.
