Pain Between Clavices

This is super random - but does anyone get pain right between their clavicles in the front of the chest? It hurts when I take a deep breath sometimes and also is worse when I bend over. It feels like musculoskeletal pain. It only lasts for a few days and then goes away for a while until it comes back. I also have noticed pain in my neck kind of leading down to the inward points of my two clavicles. When I have these episodes it also kinda hurts to swallow - as if my throat feels tight or something. My thyroid levels are all normal. I was just diagnosed about a week ago and haven’t yet started cutting out gluten, as I am traveling out of the country for the next week.
 

Thanks in advance!

Are you asking about this in relation to celiac disease?

Yes. Just wondering if others have joint/muscle pain. Could be unrelated but just curious.

I had both the pain on deep breaths, like my lung was stuck, and a pain between clavicles usually if I let myself get hungry.  Both cleared after starting GFD, but I did not notice how long after.

That’s super interesting - thank you for sharing! I’ve always thought mine was just from tweaking some muscles occasionally from sleeping weird. Interested to see if it changes once I start gluten-free!

That is an area of the body prone to arthritis where the clavicles attach to the sternum. There is kind of a pseudo joint there. Does the pain coincide with getting glutened?

I was diagnosed with SIBO and this is a common problem for me.  It makes me really anxious and nervous when it happens.  I have been to the ER on a few occasions to check my heart and my cardiologist did a stress test just to rule out my heart.  

Today they are going to test me for Celiac since none of the treatments I have been doing for months are helping with SIBO.  I have lost 23 pounds in a very short time span so this too is concerning.

I am glad I found this article because if thought I was going crazy having chest pain I was afraid to mention it anymore since all cardia test were negative.  Thanks for sharing your story.

Welcome to the forum @Christy Sue, please let us know how your tests turn out. Be sure that you've been eating ~2 slices of wheat bread per day in the 6-8 weeks leading up to the blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy.

      Still unsure.....

      By badastronaut · Posted

      Dear forum members, I’m still trying to find out whether or not I actually have gluten sensitivity or not. Recent blood test showed a slightly elevated Bilirubine and Lipase but an abdominal ultrasound showed no problems with the liver or pancreas. My zinc and folic acid where both too low. When I eat gluten I get a lot of mucus with my stool and most of the times it’s quite thin. As soon as I take gluten away from my diet my stool becomes normal. I also have been quite anxious and little bit down for quite some time now and it seems to correlate with my gluten intake. The problem is that my colonoscopy showed no damage to my gut and my blood test for celiac always come back negative. Can you be gluten sensitive without damage to your villi? (I believe that’s what is normally seen in celiac disease). Thanks for helping! I don’t seem to get anywhere with my doctor so I thought I’d give this forum another try.

      Can gallbladder issues cause symptoms of celiac disease?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @robingfellow and @Mr-Collateral531, I also had to have my gallbladder removed in emergency surgery.  The gallbladder uses lots of thiamine vitamin b1 to function.   The gallbladder cannot secrete bile if it doesn't have sufficient thiamine.  Thiamine provides our muscles and glands energy to move and secrete needed enzymes and hormones.  The thyroid is another gland that requires lots if thiamine to function and secrete hormones.   Our brains, just thinking at a desk job, requires as much thiamine as our muscles do if running a marathon.   Migraines are linked to thiamine deficiency. Thiamine is the first of the eight B vitamins that our body needs. Thiamine can only be stored for three weeks at most.  Our thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  We need more thiamine when we have a physical injury (like recovering from surgery or fighting the flu), if we're emotionally stressed or traumatized, and if we're physically active.  Thiamine, like the other B vitamins, is water soluble and easily excreted in urine or most in diarrhea.  B vitamins are commonly poorly absorbed in Celiac Disease.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins need to be taken together because they interact with each other to make life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine deficiency can affect individual organs.  Gallbladder dysfunction is connected to thiamine deficiency, as is hypothyroidism.    Migraines are connected to thiamine deficiency.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi (abdominal pain, vomiting, etc.) is a result of thiamine deficiency.  Tachycardia and fatigue are also symptoms of thiamine deficiency.   Thiamine and magnesium make enzymes that are essential for life.   Thiamine is needed to absorb certain minerals like iron.  Anemia and thiamine deficiency frequently occur together.  Thiamine deficiency can cause poor blood cell production (including low antibody production).   Thiamine interacts with other vitamins and minerals.  Vitamin D is not utilized by the body until turned into an active form by Thiamine. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  High doses of thiamine correct deficiencies quickly which prevent further health deterioration.  A one a day type multivitamin is not sufficient to correct vitamin and mineral deficiencies that occur in the malabsorption of Celiac Disease.   The Gluten free diet is low in vitamins as they are not required to be enriched with vitamins lost in processing.  Supplementing with thiamine and the B vitamins boosts their absorption.   Helpful Reading: Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Wernicke's Encephalopathy Triggered by One Session of Heavy Drinking https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6739701/ P. S. Try a DNA test to see if you have any known genes for Celiac Disease before doing a gluten challenge.

      Certified gluten free oats

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I would think that for the 10% of celiacs who can't tolerate oats it would cause villous atrophy just like gluten. No, it would not produce marsh 3b villous atrophy in a couple of days. Nothing will produce measurable villous atrophy that fast. It takes at least two weeks of at least 10g of gluten consumption daily (10g is the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread) to develop measurable villous atrophy and even then probably not 3b villous atrophy. Are you asking these questions in because you are considering taking on a gluten challenge?
