Thanks nvsmom and janpell.

 

I usually feel my best when I haven't eaten for several hours. I'm on a mission to gain weight though, so I've been eating as often as possible. Usually when I finish a meal, I feel it in the wrists first. Some days are better than others, but the popping is always there even on the good days. I've gotten to the point that I don't expect answers, but I still hope for them. :)

I know this is an old post but I'm having very similar issues. I'm 37 going on 38 and didn't have anything beside ankles cracking until this summer. Now it's knees, shoulders, just when turning my steering wheel, neck, back, hip, wrist, all popping and cracking a lot. Also have joint and muscle pain. I've been to numerous specialist and they can't find a cause. I'm wondering if it could be gluten. Have you had any change with this?

There are links between osteoporosis and celiac disease. I would brush up on all of the secondary effects of untreated celiac disease and find a doctor who will test you for osteoporosis as well as the other major diseases that are linked from an unaltered diet of someone suffering with celiac.

Hi, I'm also having the same symptoms - joint popping and muscle twitching. It was limited to ankles first and then has spread to full body (both the twitching and joint popping). I started having dandruff too. Not only me but both my parents, brother and a new born.. everyone caught this AT THE SAME TIME!! I'm thinking if it could be related to parasites. There are no other symptoms otherwise. Had some tests done but nothing comes up. 

 

Can any of you guys please update me on this? 

Thank you!!

Welcome to Celiac.com Popeye. This is an older topic so you might want to start a fresh one to avoid confusion. Having said that you should look at diet or environmental changes. Are you and your family eating gluten or been tested for Celiac Disease? The symptoms could fit the profile. Palmitic Acid is an omega 6 that is added to feed to increase production, notably in dairy and beef. Are you eating a western style diet? Is is unnaturally high in omega 6 and very inflammatory.

Quote

A good source of omega-6 fatty acids, every slice of whole wheat bread contains a total of 0.4 grams of omega-6. In addition, a large portion of the omega-6 in whole wheat bread comes from linolenic acid - the only essential omega-6 fatty acid.   https://www.soupersage.com/nutrition-calories-protein/whole-wheat-bread

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.

      Weird Symptoms

      By cristiana · Posted

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing  has stepped up a notch since diagnosis.  Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out.  Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes just one, sometimes both.  But it comes and goes.   My sister also suffers now, we are both in our fifties, but she is not a coeliac, so for all I know it could just be an age thing.  I do get occasional stabbing pain in my ears but that has been all my life, and I do appear to be vulnerable to outer ear infections too.  So not a particularly helpful reply here, but I suppose what I am trying to say is it might be related but then again it could just be one of those things.   I think in the UK where I live doctors like you to report if you get tinnitus in just the one ear.  I reported mine but no cause was found.  Most of the time it is nothing but sometimes it can have a cause that can be treated, so perhaps worth reporting to your GP.
