Hello, 

So I am 25 yo male, 4 months gluten free. I was wondering if anyone had crazy injuries for years and recovered after going gluten free for a while? I was a cross country runner in college so I expect part of it to happen eventually be that but I did not think it would be this bad so soon. I can't run or lift very much without issue, but I am listening to my body and not doing much now. My nutritionist (just went to one for the first time) said based on my diet she though it could be related to vitamin/mineral deficiencies (mainly D, Ca,iron). Never been been tested for these vitamin deficiencies. Was wondering if anyone had a similar experience?

It is me again!  

About testing for vitamin deficiencies.  Very important!  It is the standard of care for celiacs.  My PCP orders an annual panel at my annual check-up.

Take time to heal, not just your gut, but the rest of you too.  I went undiagnosed for so long that I had some pretty severe damage.  Two months after my diagnosis, I fractured a few vertebrae doing nothing.  I was diagnosed with osteoporosis.  Now, I am old, so building bone can be hard to do, but my research indicates that young people spring back quickly on a gluten free diet.  So , no worries for you if you stick to a gluten-free diet.  

Yes, I have had bouts of tendinitis (am a runner too).  This is a different topic, but avoid antibiotics called fluoroquinolones.  These drugs have a black box warning because they cause ruptured tendons.

I found out about these years ago after I was dealing with tendinitis and weird neuropathies.  Not saying this is your problem, but it is good to weigh the risks and benefits of drugs.  

This is another reason, you should take it easy while healing.

      strange symptoms/ diagnosis accuracy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Try whole milk yogurt.  I eat Stoneyfield vanilla.  Add fruit if you like.  Cultured Pasteurized Organic Whole Milk, Pectin, Vitamin D3. Live Active Cultures S. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium BB-12®, L. acidophilus, L. paracasei and L. rhamnosus. Looking at the NO Fat Greek Yogurt, consider that to give the mouth feel of real yogurt ahd Manufacterers of no fat yogurt add various processed ingrediant that many Celiacs have digestive issues with such as gums.  Consider it processed food.  Fat is an important factor in our appestat to tell us we've eaten enough.  Remove fat and we eat more.  Compared to whole milk yogurt Chobani no fat greek yogurt has a cardboard mouth feel. Chobani no fat greek: Cultured Nonfat Milk, Cane Sugar, Black Cherries, Water, Fruit Pectin, Guar Gum, Natural Flavors, Cherry Juice Concentrate, Locust Bean Gum, Lemon Juice Concentrate. 6 Live and Active Cultures: S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus, L. Casei, and L. Rhamnosus Funny that since recommending low fat diets in the 1970's the US population has gone from 15% to 50% obese.

      Nighttime Soiling (5 year old)

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Just had my daughter diagnosed and am currently awaiting blood test results for my son. As well as many bowel issues, mostly loose stools with mucus and lots of gassy moments sometimes leading to leaning stool, he has recently soiled himself in his sleep twice. He has been toilet trained for a long time, but is not waking up with the poo. It’s not just a little, it’s a lot.    We have had to make an appointment re his blood test results next week so will find out if it is coeliac too but I’m just wondering whether anyone else has had this? Ive read online that it could mean he’s constipated, but he poos all the time and it’s often soft, never hard.

      Scientists have discovered a cause of inflammatory bowel disease. They said it's a 'holy grail' discovery that could transform other autoimmune treatments.

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      I know this isn't an IBS Forum, but it looks like they may have cracked the code on treating it.  They think the new discovery may make it possible to treat other autoimmune diseases.  Even if they develop a treatment I think I would continue eating strict gluten-free, but it may allow me to eat out gluten-free without the fear of being glutened.  That would be especially helpful when traveling.   I hope you find this article as promising as I did.   https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/scientists-have-discovered-a-cause-of-inflammatory-bowel-disease-they-said-it-s-a-holy-grail-discovery-

      What do my test results mean?

      Thank you! I might give it a try.

      You still may have NCGS. NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both. You would do well to consider trialing the gluten free diet to see if your symptoms improve.
