Feel different bad being 99% gluten free

In July 2015, my weight loss had stalled, so I decided to go as gluten free as I could, also wheat free.  I have lost about 20 # but feel chronic fatigue and it seems I get gout like inflammation of mainly my fingers, occasionally my elbows and knees.  I also got really anemic. I don't use gluten free flour, just eat fruit, potatoes, all kinds of veggies, occas meat, chicken, tuna, different raw nuts, salads, yogurt, quinoa, buckwheat and whole grain rice. I noticed that I don't swell with fruit/potatoes and yogurt anymore. but the travelling joint inflammation is a bougar, and sometimes my feet burn. You would think , since I have lost a total of 35# since jan 2015, my feet would get better than worse. Any suggestions on this? I will tell you if I do eat gluten/wheat, I feel horrible.

I think you probably need to go 100% gluten free (I reread that and perhaps you have) and then give yourself time to heal.  I say that because from my experience with allergies and celiac, I react more to whatever is left bothering me.  Make sure all of the products you are using are certified gluten free.  Consider other food allergies.  I had a problem with severe fatigue until I stopped eating everything which I didn't tolerate.

My feet started burning after a few years gluten free.   Mainly at night, and I mean on fire!   I asked my Endocrinologist about it at my next visit and knowing that I did not have Diabetes, he said it was most likely B12 deficiency.   Ran tests and it was, I started injections and 3 years later I am in the normal range I no longer have this issue.

      Hi , since being gluten free I am still having bad stomach problems . Such as constant gas in my stomach 24/7 ,burning, constant bubbling noises coming from my stomach and gurgling sounds that never stop .Pain under the left side of my rib cage when ever I eat and just always there’s pain there  .  My symptoms have not improved at all since being gluten free.  Could this be refractory coeliac disease ?? How is that even diagnosed or confirmed  ?  I had tests recently and this is what they say :Endomysial abs (IgA) -Positive  TTG abs (IgA)U/ml : My result is : 0.9 U/ml The Range:0 - 10 U/ml What does this mean pls ??? How can I still test positive for Endomysial abs when I am gluten free and am very careful about cross contamination? Do I even have coeliac disease I’m convinced some other digestive disorder is causing these symptoms .   I also have not had a endoscopy and now the gastroenterologist calls me after one year ( I’m from the uk and have free healthcare which has been such a nightmare with all this and never help me  )  so as I am gluten free the gastroenterologist advised me to start eating gluten again to be referred for a biopsy .. Is a biopsy even worth me doing ? The only proof I have is when I was eating gluten I could never get my ferretin , vitamin d and folate levels up . And since being gluten free these have gone up a little bit  . But that doesn’t always mean coeliac as I know gluten stops absorption in even normal people  . Pls can anyone shed some light it’s much needed ! And share some advice or answer my questions above . I have no idea with this whole coeliac stuff and am very much struggling .Much Appreciated .

      Vitamin D deficiency.  Not enough Omega Threes. Another autoimmune disease like arthritis, maybe.

      @RMJ it makes sense as it’s something I’ve experienced more than once. Currently 24 weeks and baby is doing well! Will be seeking more medical advice today
