Sorry to hear about all of your struggles. Before I went gluten-free, I had all sorts of muscle aches. They started in my legs and lower back. It was so bad that I couldn't sleep at night.

Carl's mom posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Although my son (age 9) has not formally been diagnosed as a Celiac, we strongly suspect that this is the case. For most of his life, he's had daily D.

Because of where the incision...
