Sure!  For me it is old age.  I noticed this area hurt, when I walked up a steep hill right at the start of my walk.  Told hubby we need to stay flat until we are warmed up.  😊

well that went away...  but I have some small muscle spasms mainly in my legs / calf area and feels like little ants pinching me sometimes...

I talked with Azure, another member here and he said he experienced the same pinching sensations when he was diagnosed but all over his body..

I've been dealing with awful muscle pain and joint pain for years, part of Celiacs. Someone suggesting taking Bromelian supplements for that and seems to work! I was taking Ibuprofen daily and I've been able to ween off that taking the Bromelian. Something to be aware of though, I had a terrible pain that ran the full length of my upper thigh, lasted weeks and just seemed to get worse. Then got a terrible UTI, went to the Instacare and told doc I also had this awful pain, and he said it was part of the overall body infection. So, to be on the safe side, maybe you should go see the doc and make sure you don't have an infection going on, this pain was different than the "regular" joint pain stuff I get. Hope you do better! ; )

High doses of really good turmeric can help with inflammation that may be causing your pain.  It's used for people with rhumatoid arthritis.  I take about 2000 mg a day for allergy issues, it really helps with the swelling in sinus tissues, but I find it also helps with aches and pains from aging.  I get it at procapslabs.com, who was into the turmeric way before it became more widely known.  Good Turmeric that is high in circumin is not cheap, but better than prescription drugs, and really works for me.  (I'm female, almost 64, and just shoveled 2 yards of gravel BY MYSELF for a bed for the new garden shed, was careful about twisting and not throwing too far, took some extra turmeric, and got only a few aches after....1 more yard to go!)

Ibuprofen is not gluten free..  and..

In fact, ibuprofen is well known for irritating the gut and can cause stomach ulcers. And now, research suggests ibuprofen could be linked to the development of coeliac disease. ... In people who have a predisposition to coeliac disease, the researchers believe this can lead to adverse reactions to gluten.

      Passing out

      By Patty harrigan · Posted

      That’s exactly what happens to me. I have been unconscious twice, vomiting afterwards for up to 9 hours and then the bone breaking chills start. I have never vomited while unconscious, thank god.  It’s an unusual presentation and my doctors were reluctant to think it was due to gluten ingestion. However, I know it was gluten as both times it happened within 2-2.5 hrs of eating. I no longer eat food that I haven’t prepared myself and it’s been 6 yrs since it happened.  I was behind the wheel once and was lucky to get off the road before I went out. I feel, and all my doctors reluctantly agree, that it’s a vasovagal reaction. If I can lay down it seems I don’t pass out but I still vomit and get the chills. It’s terrifying to say the least. I could have killed myself or others. I’m as strict as I can be for that reason.

      I assume you were on antibiotics for the E-coli infection? C-diff almost always is the result of prolonged and/or repeated antibiotic treatment. And there is a growing consensus that celiac disease is connected with gut dysbiosis which in turn is likely connected with first world overuse of antibiotics, preservatives and carbohydrate intensive/low nutrient diets. We are wrecking our gut microbiomes and those with genetic potential for celiac disease are reaping the fruit of it.  Can you repost post those antibody test scores but this time include the ranges for positive vs. negative. Each lab uses their own scale for these. There is no industry standard yet. Recently revised "gluten challenge" guidelines recommend the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the antibody testing blood draw. To be sure, I would extend that to four weeks. Sadly, many practitioners neglect to (or don't know to) inform their patients of this before testing and so much testing done results in unclear outcomes. In your original post you mentioned lab analysis done from a colonoscopy. Colonoscopies cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease because they cannot get into the small bowel from the bottom end. Celiac disease causes damage to the lining of the small bowel which is accessed by an endoscopy. They take biopsies and send them to a lab for microscopic analysis.

      A simple blood test should be done, and is usually the first step in diagnosing celiac disease. To do this you need to be eating lots of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before doing the test. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Trents,  Thank you for the informative information. It's interesting that you suggested an infection or something 'triggers' celiac disease. I have been wondering if this happened because I was hospitalized with E-Coli last December and then hospitalized in June with C-Diff. So, they did do the Antibody Testing but never told me anything about needing to prep by eating a good amount of gluten for several weeks prior. My doctor thinks we would have to re-test as she isn't sure the results were entirely accurate. I did not 'abstain' from gluten but I didn't know I was supposed to purposely eat a certaim amount of gluten for 6 weeks prior. They failed to tell me this before I got the blood test. Here are the results of my antibody testing from September: Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG: 27 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA: 3 Endomysial Antibody IgA: Negative Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum: 111   Thanks for any input, I appreciate this site.

      Hi Scott, I really appreciate you already welcoming me and answering my questions. I (very strangely) came down with C-Diff in June of this past year. It did a number on my body. It took several months for me to get back to normal. Because of this, they followed up with a Colonoscopy and during the colonoscopy, they took a biopsy. The results of that colon biopsy were: colonic mucosa with patchy prominence of intraepithelial lymphocytes noted When those results came back, my doctor suggested doing this gene test to start with. The only symptom I am having is lighter color stools that often float. I wondered though if that is attributed to chia seeds, fiber supplements, and other things in my diet. Other than that, I do not have any symptoms of celiac. I do realize that I could have it without symptoms. I am wondering what my doctor will suggest is the next step towards trying to see if I have it. Thank you for your time.
