Question

I'm wondering for someone with celiac is joint pain common and spotting between periods? I'm a newbie here and put a post up a couple days ago talking about my current situation. The last couple days I've had a new develop of joint pains. My body hurt so bad last night it took me forever to fall asleep. Also I had some spotting last mth and I thought nothing of it but when I woke up this morning I was spotting again.

Joint pain is very common but what are you referring to as spotting?

Oh, and there are no dumb questions. :)

:P thanks for the joint pain input though. I'll leave the other question for one of the female members B)

Seems to me I read somewhere that spotting between periods is tied to Celiac (one of the many hormonal/menstrual effects) but it can also be a sign of other illnesses so it might be a good idea to discuss it with your GYN. The thing that would make me a little uneasy about it is that it just started recently-- unless your other Celiac symptoms are also new.

Spotting is not necessarily a bad thing. If it is heavy, then that is a problem. If it is just a little bit, it could mean you are ovulating. Some people spot when they ovulate. There is nothing wrong with that. It makes it easy to figure out when you are ovulating which is helpful if you are trying to get pregnant (or trying not to). I think if it lasts more than 3 days or is heavy, that is something to talk to your doctor about, but less than that is ok.

      Hi, 25f who recently had a endoscopy procedure to diagnose celiac disease. Mum and uncle are both diagnosed celiacs. I've had symptoms over the past year - headaches that have become debilitating and frequent, feeling faint and nauseous with high heart rate, diarrhea and constipation, anemia, and recently my periods have become almost non existent. My doctor sent me a letter yesterday saying this " biopsies from the duodenum show some very mild features that could be in keeping with celiac disease but also could be due to other causes". I am waiting on an appointment to see him in the clinic to discuss this but in the meantime I wanted to check if anyone else has...

      Did your symptoms improve after going on a gluten-free diet?
    • Scott Adams
      Thank you for sharing your genetic test results and background. Your results indicate you carry one half of the DQ2 heterodimer (DQA1*05), which is associated with a very low celiac disease risk (0.05%). While most celiac patients have either DQ2 or DQ8, these genes are also present in people without celiac disease, so the test alone doesn’t confirm a diagnosis. Since you’ve been gluten-free for 10 years, traditional diagnostic methods (like endoscopy or blood tests) would not be reliable now. If an official diagnosis is important to you, consider discussing a gluten challenge with your doctor, where you reintroduce gluten for a period before testing. Alternatively, you could focus...

      @cvz Thank you for sharing your daughter’s story. It sounds like she is managing multiple complex conditions with great care and diligence. It’s encouraging to hear that she is compliant with her gluten-free diet and that her Addison’s disease symptoms are under control. The addition of electrolytes seems like a thoughtful suggestion, especially given her fluid intake. It’s also reassuring that she hasn’t shown noticeable symptoms from accidental gluten exposure, though it’s understandable how challenging it can be to monitor for such incidents. The unexplained high lipase levels are intriguing—perhaps further investigation or consultation with a specialist could...

      Hello I received this in a genetic lab test I requested from my provider.    The patient is positive for DQA1*05, one half of the DQ2 heterodimer. The celiac disease risk from the HLA DQA/DQB genotype is approximately 1:1842 (0.05%). This is less than the 1% risk in the general population. Allele interpretation for all loci based on IMGT/HLA database version 3.55 HLA Lab CLIA ID Number 34D0954530 Greater than 95% of celiac patients are positive for either DQ2 or DQ8 (Sollid and Thorsby, (1993) Gastroenterology 105:910-922). However these antigens may also be present in patients who do not have Celiac disease.   Some background, I have been eating gluten free for about 10 years now...
