Having pain in most all lymph nodes. Does that mean cancer?

Lymph nodes can be enlarged and tender for multiple reasons, included viral or bacterial infection. You did not provide much information, but either way, if you’re concerned, see a provider for work up.

I went and had blood work done. I was having pain in most of them. And had that dermatitis herpaformas rash. Still do. But she said my white blood count and stuff was good. But one side on my neck got bigger. Plus night sweats and stuff. But she did give me some attibotics  to see if it would go down. I think it has some and on day 3. Does ciliac disease make your hurt all over in stomach back and limp nodes? Thank you for replying.

be sure to discuss it with your doctor, and high dose thiamine may help:

Does anyone have know energy and limp nodes hurting in certain places? One on neck gets notice able then goes down and back. Then in groin mostly pains around neck. I have the rash DH but just eating gluten free hasn’t cleared up all the way. Been buying gluten free frozen foods but shure it got salt in it. I wake up a lot in morning are night sick at stomach. Was having night sweats but they have stopped. Had my blood work done. Everything checked out good. So gave me some peace of mind on cancer. Only thing that gets rid of neasea is promethazine. Was bloated a lot and the xfaxin stopped that. Still wounding about shortness of breath and weight loss. Waiting to get in to a gastroenterologist to be scoped. Any answers will be helpful

So to get an endoscopy to confirm celiac disease would require you to go on a regular gluten diet for at least 2 weeks beforehand, and eat at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily. I'm not sure if your comment "waiting to get scoped" was referring to a celiac disease biopsy, but if so, I just wanted you to know this.

You lymph nodes could be swollen for many reasons, and you should discuss this with your doctor to eliminate anything like cancer or lymphoma, but did you read the link above and start taking Benfotiamine (thiamine B3) yet? It might help with your shortness of breath and other symptoms. A good vitamin B complex would be a good idea.

Thank you for the advice. Yes the b3 thiamin helped with limp nodes and my dry eyes.

Yes the b3 did help. But still having pain every now in again in limp nodes. The night sweats got better to. But did have one last night. I go to doctor in 3 days. I did already have blood work at my regular doctor. And everything looked good. But I know that don’t tell you everything. Now just trusting the lord. But still on gluten free diet. I’ll see what gastroenterologist says Wednesday

have you any updates on the lymph node pain?  i would assume it could be from gluten reaction and your body fighting it 

hoping eating clean fixed it 

please keep us posted

      Thanks @Scott Adams for this information. I also found some options as well. One of them is also offering gluten free seafood menu with alot of options as well: https://pappadeauxmenu.com/

      HI, yes I get this reaction if I eat gluten by mistake or if I eat high fodmap foods as well.  I become nauseous, vomit then it hits the muscles, my legs sometimes give out.  It takes a while to feel "normal" again.

      The first step would be to re-examine your diet to see if hidden gluten is the cause. Eating out would be the number one source of contamination, even if restaurants offer gluten-free menus and options.

      You may want to see al allergist and run a standard food allergy panel to see if wheat allergy could contribute to this, but again, the most likely culprit if you have celiac disease would be gluten contamination.

      Any specific tests you would recommend to check for other allergens or issues ?
