I have had three episodes of pseudo Gout in my knees, with in last year. I have only one kidney due to a donation and otherwise healthy 65 year old. curious regarding others who have been Diagnosed with Celiac and have any association with Chondrocalcinosis/ Hyperparathyroidism issues. Should there be specific Labs being drawn yearly to detect or maintain a stable nutritional course. Thanks stay well

There is a correlation between celiac disease and gout:

Celiacs seem to have higher uric acid levels than those that don't which may be part of the reason many celiacs have terrible joint issues/arthritis. 

Same with hypothyroid:

I'm no doctor but Vitamin D, Calcium, Uric Acid and celiac antibodies (if you are having any possible symptoms) would be appropriate, IMO.

I was curious about your question, and researched a little.  I'm not a doctor. This isn't medical advice.  You may want to talk to your doctor.  

Gout is caused by high levels of uric acid.  Lactic acid has precedence to be cleared by the body first. High levels of lactic acid are caused by thiamine deficiency.

Here's the study that found lactic acid gets cleared first....

Thiamine deficiency causes a build up of lactic acid......

Severe lactic acidosis reversed by thiamine within 24 hours

And Dr. Lonsdale studies thiamine deficiency in gout of this patient...

      Mistakenly eating gluten

      By trents · Posted

      Had you eaten fries at this restaurant before without issue? Sounds to me like it could be glutening plus something else like a stomach bug, a little food poisoning or gallbladder problem. Make we ask your age?

      Mistakenly eating gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you’ve had a really rough week with persistent stomach issues after eating at that restaurant. Given your celiac diagnosis, it’s very possible that cross-contamination from the fries (since they weren’t cooked in a dedicated fryer) triggered a reaction, especially if they were fried in the same oil as gluten-containing foods. Your symptoms—diarrhea, cramping, gas, floating stools, and excessive burping—are consistent with a gluten exposure, even if they seem more severe or prolonged than usual. That said, since your doctor didn’t find anything alarming, it might also be worth considering other factors, like a mild stomach bug or food intolerance (e.g., high-fat foods or alcohol irritating your gut). Some people with celiac also react to other ingredients, like dairy, during a flare-up. If symptoms don’t improve soon, you may want to follow up with your doctor or a gastroenterologist to rule out other issues. In the meantime, sticking to safe, bland foods and hydrating well might help. You’re not alone—many celiac folks have had similar experiences with cross-contamination, and it can take time for the gut to settle. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      I just have a question. On saturday I was out eating on a restaurant. The day after i woke up with a little tummy ache and diarrhea but that went away in the evening. The day after i woke up the same way but diarreha gotten worse. On monday everything was almost fine just had a tummy ache. Same on tuesday but on tuesday night I woke up with the worst stomach cramp and diarrhea. I went in to ER where they just told me to visit doctor next day if i still had pain. I did but not any diarrhea the doctor said nothing looked weird and maybe just irritatated my stomach because of fat food and alcohol. Since then i’ve had very much gas in my stomach and stomach ache because of this. I also burp a lot and my stool is floating as when it did before my celiac diagnosis. It hasn’t went away and i reached out to the restaurant where i ate and they told me that they did not have a dedicated fryer to the fries i ate. This has never happened to me before and that i’ve gotten a reaction. I’m just wondering if someone else has experienced something like this? I’m really worried and don’t know if this can be because of the fries or something else

      How long after being diagnosed with Celiac do you feel better?

      Thanks for sharing, Karen. Certainly a needed reminder what we already knew (and I've posted many times on this forum) but sometimes forget, namely, autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. Where one is found, you can look for others to show up eventually. The thing that is unusual in your son's case is the onset of several of them at such a young age. My sister in law, who is in her early 60's has Crohn's and struggles with constipation so I don't think that is unusual with Crohn's. If nothing else, it's the outcome of not eating much because of the pain. Now that you know what is going on with your son and the Crohn's, we hope he is beginning to improve.
