Migrating Pain

When I was first diagnosed I "thought" I had absolutely no symptoms at all. Now, as I read more I realize there are many things that I can attribute to celiac. Now that I am gluten free my headaches have reduced to almost none, had problems with teeth (3 root canals, sensitive teeth, etc.), and now I'm wondering about other things. Like my hysterectomy could in some way be attributed to the celiac.

I am also having problems with a pain inside my left leg that moved to the back of my leg. An MRI has shown it is not related to my back (or believed to be). Even though I am gluten free I am still having problems, but can this some way be related to the celiac?

I have an appointment with a neurologist this week and I'm certain he will have no clue what I'm talking about when I say "celiac." Any thoughts, suggestions, or similiar problems?

I have pain in my legs, and everywhere. (3 months gluten free except a few slips) I have charlie horses that won't quit some times. My allergist has me taking 1000 mg of magnesium for this. It is helping. I saw a neurologist too for many other neurological symptoms. She diagnosed me with hyperventalation syndrome, saying it caused all the symptoms. Upon reading further about that, I discovered that she may have been partly right in the sense of "Malabsorption" causing the "hyperventalatin syndrome". I didn't realize I had it. I learned "yoga breathing" which does help the nervousness of not feeling well, but honestly, The neurological symptoms get better and then when I slip, they return 10 fold, yoga breathing or not. I think this neurologist would have let me "slip through the cracks" without finding out the"root cause." I don't think most of the doctors I have seen know much about it. We have to be our own advocates. Good Luck, Amber

      Hey all!

      Thank you! I’m currently the breadwinner as my husband is pursuing a finance degree so the nights that I am at work they can eat whatever my husband makes but when I am home we have gluten free meals and no complaints so far! I definitely don’t have a choice but to switch but I think slowly transitioning my family is good!😀

      Hey all!

      Hey everyone! I just joined and figured I’d introduce myself, my name is Savannah, I’ve been with my husband for over 8 years and we have 3 kids, a 7 year old, 5 year old, and 3 year old. I was diagnosed with celiac disease beginning of October along with microscopic colitis, lactose intolerance, and sucrose intolerance. I got sick the day before my 5th ...

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      I don't react the same way to all of them but do react badly to many of them where others may not. I also have a touch of hypochondria so when the labs come back too high or makes me anxious. I am dismayed but not really surprised that I may be in the small group of people to suffer a particular side effect. I was originally on warfirin. I think that was...

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      What do you mean when you say, "blood thinners are all the same to me"? Do you mean you react negatively in the same way to all of them? Otherwise, they are not all the same. They work in different ways. Aspirin causes the platelets to be less sticky. Warfarin and related meds work by reducing the production of platelets. You might talk to your doctor about...

      Welcome aboard, @Savannah Wert! There usually is a learning curve involved in arriving at a consistently gluten free diet since gluten is found in so many food products where you would never expect it to be. This article may be helpful:  It is good that you have identified some other foods that you cannot tolerate at this point as this is so common in the celiac population and it often goes unaddressed for years. You may find that the lactose intolerance disappears as your gut heals. No guarantee, though. Keep an eye out for the development of celiac symptoms in your children as the likelihood of first degree relatives developing active celiac disease is somewhere between 10% and almost 50%. Yes, the studies on this are all over the map. Is your home gluten free or will you be attempting to avoid CC (Cross Contamination) while fixing gluten-containing foods for your family members? It is always best for everyone in the home to commit to gluten free eating in the home environment when one member has celiac disease.

      Hey everyone! I just joined and figured I’d introduce myself, my name is Savannah, I’ve been with my husband for over 8 years and we have 3 kids, a 7 year old, 5 year old, and 3 year old. I was diagnosed with celiac disease beginning of October along with microscopic colitis, lactose intolerance, and sucrose intolerance. I got sick the day before my 5th wedding anniversary and thought it was just the flu, which lasted over 3 months. I finally had a colonoscopy and endoscopy and was diagnosed. This has been such a hard transition and any tips are greatly appreciated!

I am dismayed but not really surprised that I may be in the small group of people to suffer a particular side effect. I was originally on warfirin. I think that was the one where I had trouble with vitamin k numbers and or was anemic with low hemoglobin, red blood cells etc.  My blood pressure drops to very low numbers after taking something as simple as turmeric for a few weeks. My diastolic had touched 50 one day before I finally figured out that the herb was the problem. No intention to go for 40 so never looked back. I wanted to try benfothiamine but one of the listed side effects is bradycardia and other stuff that I am not going to challenge esp since I have had and still have to a lesser degree heart rhythm problems.
