Heal the inflammation from celiac, get some appropriate massage and/or PT (ask your doctor for a script) and check your levels of B-12, folate, iron and D. Proper stretches, yoga, walk... do you know a good chiropractor? get the back and pelvic muscles under control so it does not spread... okay, that's all I got! Hope you get relief soon! -
Sounds musculokeletal. Nothing on MRI or Xray, right? I have that mid-back and spine pain as well!! Many spots that hurt--they run along both sides of the spine, right? These are called "trigger points"-hyper irritable knots in shortened muscles---and they can refer pain to anywhere. I have rib cage pain, shin pain, you name it... Google "trigger...

Hope today is a bit better for you.
We all have the down days. I guess that is how we know the difference! -
Hang in there. You will feel so much better over time. It's taken a good year for me to really feel like I had a handle on my health and this darn diet...some days, it is still shaky! But at least now, when I get sick, I know it, because I know how it feels to feel great most of the time.

and gee, for something not very common and not necessarily showing up on testing, how come we are all telling the same story??...seems pretty weird to me.... then again, what part of this isn't weird??

Sweetie, Keep the brownies. WE used the EnerG Egg replacer in a recipe (when I thought I had an egg issue) and it worked well!! You could try it?
-
Eggs bother me too. I cannot eat them without feeling nausea and they sit right in my chest. Like a rock. They are not my favorite food, but I need protein. If they are baked in something, I do not seem to notice this....it is peculiar. They did not show up in allergy testing or in food antibody testing. I am thinking, maybe it's just something...

You're so cute. I haven't posted a good bread recipe yet but have to get on it! It is my b'day today and DH is taking me to Edmonton (nearest city 3 hours away) for gluten-free shopping and to spoil me to bits. Have you tried adding unflavoured gelatin or psyllium fibre to your bread? I do not have a bread machine, either, but my KitchenAid mixer is a sturdy sucker. Will post soon. ...

I have to show you my new avatar. I am going back to Chili Chinchilla but I wanted you to see this.

I hope you have a speedy recovery. Nobody would ever believe the kind of pain I had. It is excruciating, at best. I am so sorry you have hurt like this.

I'm very excited for the SOY FREE Blue Diamond!!! I'll be reintroducing soy sometime this week probably to see whether I can have it or not...but if not SOY FREE BLUE DIAMOND!!! My fiance is currently drinking the shelf-bought Blue Diamond with soy lecithin that I bought before

well, I must have been stressed every day for 3 years. (come to think of it, I was because I did not know what the heck was wrong with me) If you did tell the doctor, the first thing she'll suggest to you --after the shrug--is fibromyalgia. (a wide range diagnosis for muscle pain) I heard it frequently. One guy told me "it's fibro, even though I don...

I used to enjoy massages for years until this burning set in. Now, it is just too abrasive. I have had trigger point massage MANY times by chiropractors, MTs, PTs, myofascial release therapist --(I even had rolfing--check that one out on google )... Plus, I learned how to do it and hubby does it for me, too.. YET I still have horrid knots and pain. They...

I live.. in the middle of the prairies.. 1/2 way between Saskatoon and Calgary. I grew up here.. a farmers daughter. The irony.. unable to eat wheat!

Coool... your my first friend! Our 1st meeting is March 28th. I am excited. This town has 5000 people and I keep hearing of more and more people with gluten problems.
-
You got that right, sister!! oh, I intend to educate every single "medical professional" I saw in all the years of searching for answers (my story is really LONG and complicated) and not one of them helped....jerkwads ..... LOLLOL
-
Thanks... it IS a bizarre feeling, I know; I have lots of bizarre symptoms (burning mouth, for example, among others ) Glad you are feeling better!!yaay!! No, you are not insane, I'm not insane (although I was pushed to the brink of insanity) NONE of us are insane...we are just not diagnosed properly AND LEFT TO WORRY ourselves insane. ...

I have this scalp pain and weird sensation, too. I tell hubby I feel as if I am encased like a sausage..tight tight tight (it's the inflammation, I think)
-
Thanks for this post, Pondy. I have asked others on here, but no one seems to have this pain except you guys. SG whiskers! This is so encouraging!! (I am actually crying with relief as I read this.) THIS IS ME!! I am in awful pain, especially my neck, shoulders, legs. It hurts to sit, stand, lie down. I BURN everywhere. The shirt on my back is painful...
