I get migrating joint pain from my Lyme Disease, but oddly enough, eating gluten-free has helped it somewhat. I don't really have any suggestions on how to get rid of it, but I can empathize with how uncomfortable it can be!

I have arthritis in my right hand, two of the fingers swell noticibly when I eat sugar. I don't know if it happens when I eat gluten because I haven't had any for over a year and my hand is still swelling if I have too many sweets. Generally when I had gluten before I was having sugar so I have always assumed this was related to sugar.

I hope you are feeling better.

Behind my knees, inside my elbow joints - both areas swell pretty badly. My fingers swell at night, I can't sleep with any rings on anymore.

I hope that you feel better soon!

My joints swell from gluten, dairy, rice, eggs primarily. Unfortunately, I haven't found anything that helps, other than waiting it out and avoiding the offending foods.

Just new to the site. Trying to find out why i have some similar symptoms. Finger, wrist pain, swelling at night, sluggish, constipated...shall i go on?! I found an article in a Woman's magazine that recommends everyone should try a gluten free diet, just for a week. Says it could be keeping on the extra weight as well. Alot of my symptoms were listed so I thought i would attempt it and hopefully notice some changes. Agree? Some people are saying it's just i run too much with the kids (being the taxi and all), but things just don't seem right.

I have had this problem for many years.

A doctor recently recommended that I begin taking glucosomine tablets daily. I have taken them for 3 weeks now and have noticed significant improvement in my knees, ankles, shoulders.

You can get glucosomine in Wild Oats, Whole Foods, Supplement stores, ect

p.s. i take an extra strength tablet once in the morning and once in the evening.

wow i wasnt realizing how common this is, i think it is food allergy related as well and as i get this all figured out hopefully i can get this under better control.

      Celiac, Fructose and Lactose

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried sheep's milk and goat's milk cheeses? After my diagnosis I could not tolerate cow's milk for ~2 years until my villi healed, but for some reason I did not have issues with sheep milk or goat milk cheeses.  I also had temporary issues with chicken eggs, but could eat duck eggs.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is not a test for celiac disease, but your total IgA levels. This test is usually done with other celiac disease blood tests to make sure the results are accurate. Did they do a tTg-IgA test as well? Were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood tests? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      Test results came back for everything that was tested now. Cholesterol is off the charts high. Not sure if that’s related to celiac, I have no idea how it could be so high. Also tested positive for H pylori  infection… is there a link to celiac and H pylori? Or am I just experiencing symptoms of the H pylori infection?

      I’m reading that some sites list a high Immunoglobulin A result for my age above 300, another site says above 356, and other sites are saying above 400. I don’t know what to make of this result 🤷‍♂️

      Need Advice on Doctors

      You got some bum steers my friend. I have little confidence that you can trust your test results as differentiating between NCGS and celiac disease. And I think you would be much more likely to have gotten that note you need if you had been diagnosed with celiac disease. But believe me, I understand the predicament you are in with regard to the risks of repeating the gluten challenge. We have heard this story many times on this forum. People experiment with the gluten free diet before getting an official diagnosis and then cannot tolerate the gluten challenge later on when they seek an official diagnosis.
