Welcome to the forum, Ian!

What you describe sounds like it could be tendonitis.

It just started recently and I’m still new to celiac!

While it is true that celiac disease has long fingers, there is a tendency in the celiac community to blame all health issues on celiac disease.

Have you ever had plantar fasciitis (inflammation of the plantar tendon on the bottom of your foot and heel)? The pattern there is for it to be so tender in the morning when you get out of bed that you can hardly walk but it loosens up some during the day as you move around. May I ask what is your age?

Never, and I’m 20. I went to the hospital in November from a celiac attack and from then on it’s been nothing but bad health. I lost about 30 pounds in 2 months and am still recovering and I’ve had a ridiculous amount of symptoms/issues since my last gluten exposure

Just came across your post. I had exactly the same problem after switching to a gluten free diet. My toe hurt so much that I almost couldn't walk. It was a gout attack. I find it interesting that you mention the weight loss. Have read a lot about this, besides a diet change, purines in food, rapid weight loss is often a reason.

Yes, I would get it tested. It sounds like it. When I was in the hospital they could tell me it‘s gout. I changed my diet. Not too much meat. I was worried because of my weight loss from gluten free. I never had it again.

Ian, are you struggling in so far as compliance with the gluten free diet?

I live on a college campus so being able to eat properly is a struggle, it will be better when I can cook for myself though!

Yes, eating gluten free on a college campus would be quite a challenge. Do you eat a central cafeteria on campus? What's the arrangement for meals there?

I'm 71 years old so I know things have changed since I was in university training. Back then we had two or three cafeterias where everyone ate together but the food was cooked in the kitchen and you went through a serving line. It was covered in our tuition. But they were full course meals.

I've had issues with toe cramping in the morning, which, in my case, was likely a magnesium deficiency, as it went away when I began taking magnesium citrate daily.

Gout is a build up of uric acid.  Thiamine helps the body process the uric acid out of the body.  

Try supplementing with Benfotiamine.  It's cleared mine up.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By trents · Posted

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.

      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)

      Correction: My previous post refers to hickory products when I actually meant bakery products.

      Trader Joe's "gluten-free" hickory products are definitely not celiac safe. Their own website used to have a sidebar acknowledging this. Trader Joe's contracts out for their products, or obtains products elsewhere and puts their brand on it. Is Trader Joe's acknowledges, the facilities in which their products are made may change without notice, and ingredients or sources for ingredients may change without notice. Every time I tried Trader Joe's "gluten-free" muffins, breads, tortillas, etc, I had a reaction. The worst reactions were from the muffins (which are about 440 cals apiece, btw).
