I have not been feeling well for the last 2 months with morning stiffness, muscle soreness and I do not sleep well. I have no trouble falling asleep but it is not a deep sleep. I think I may have Fibromyalgia. I am scheduled to see my GI doctor which is part of the Celiac Disease Center in NYC on June 8th but i am thinking I need to check this out also. I am so upset and frustrated the way I feel. I have always been active and worked out and now I can hardly lift any weights for the past 3 months.

I have fibro also and It has gotten alot better since going gluten-free. I still get episodes that put me down but nothing like I had before being gluten-free. I know its hard but try to keep moving and I agree its depressing at time to say the least.......

hope you get feeling better soon

I found that my fibromyalgia was caused by a combination of an intolerance to gluten, lectins and salicylates. When I firmly stay away from everything I am intolerant to, I feel so much better, it's like day and night. You may have other intolerances as well.

Cutting out the foods that cause your pain, stiffness, brain fog and the other million symptoms of fibro sure beats being on painkillers 24/7 (I was on codeine for four years, but don't need it any more).

      @BoiseNic Have you tried the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?  This Paleo diet cuts out most everything except meat, veggies and some fruits.  By cutting out all the carbohydrates, especially processed ones, the carbohydrate loving bacteria and fungi like Candida get starved out and die off.  After that, taking probiotics to help repopulate the gut is beneficial.  The new strains of bacteria don't have to fight the established unhealthy yeasts and bad bacteria which causes a rise in histamine levels which can make one feel sick.   Certain vitamins help keep bad bacteria and fungi at bay.  Thiamine is one.  Antibiotics can deplete Thiamine stores.  The Gluten free diet can be low in Thiamine and the other vitamins and minerals needed for healthy skin and digestive tract.  Vitamin C, Vitamin D, zinc, and Niacin B 3 are important to skin health.  Niacin is especially helpful in Dermatitis Herpetiformis.  I like the kind that flushes (Nicotinic Acid - not the same as nicotine in cigarettes).  The flushing gets less and less the longer it's taken, but Niacinamide which doesn't cause flushing can be taken instead.     Here's an interesting article.  Compare the bacteria mentioned in the article with your Skinesa and then with the Visbiome probiotics.   The Role of Probiotics in Skin Health and Related Gut–Skin Axis: A Review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10385652/ Visbiome https://www.visbiome.com/collections/all/products/visbiome-capsules

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      The short answer is if it hurts, don't do it. Yogurt may help sooth your gut and repopulate it with benificial bacteria.  I prefer whole milk yogurt because it is not processed and the no fat yogurt is processed dehydrated milk powder with guar gums and water added to make it mouth feel like fat.  Especially in early healing there may be other foods you cannot tolerate for a while.

      I guess I would encourage you to abstain from the wine for a while. If you know something causes you pain then it is a good idea not to do it if you don't have to.

      We have had numbers of others on this forum report pain in that same area. Have you been checked for an H. Pylori infection? This is something very common in the celiac population.
