Coeliac back pain

Hi,

I was diagnosed  with celiac disease 2 months ago (after a year of suffering) and have been on gluten free diet since then. My symptoms, however, do not seem to disappear. My worst symptoms are severe back pain (mainly right side, i cant recongize if that is muscle or bone related), it is like stabbing and spasms. I also have pain in the mid backbone. It usally goes right to the chest + abdominal discomfort. What is strange to me is that the pain is worse during daytime, when moving. Night time is all right and the pain does not distrub me while sleeping.

Does anyone have a similar problem? Hope it is celiac related.

Thanks,

Peter

Two months after my celiac disease diagnosis, I fractured two vertebrae doing nothing.  Turns out I have osteoporosis as a result of having celiac disease.  I had months of pain, numbness and tingling.  Ask your doctor for a bone scan.  

But...two months is a short amount of time to heal from celiac disease.  It takes time to really master the diet which adds to healing time.  

Consider good follow-up testing.

I'm also newly diagnosed and have had some major back pains for years. I had to be persistent with Doctors about getting necessary x-rays and then MRI that showed the problems. Only one of the issues I think might be Celiac related. I have a pars defect on both sides. Which is a small fracture in the facet joints that support the vertebrae. Its very common among young athletes, which I am neither :p, which is why I thought might be Celiac related.

I would definitely start talking to your doctor about this pain if you haven't already. Mine didn't seem to raise any red flags with them until I mentioned the pain sometimes shoots down my leg.

Kind of late to this but my pain symptoms  are like your right side pain under ribs that travels to my bag. Gets better when laying down. Hurts more when I breathe. My guess you are still getting gluten from accidental sources.

Hi Peter, I know this was a long time ago but I  have the exact same back symptoms.  Did you manage to find any answers?

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      Popcorn pain

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
