Leg Pains And Celiac?

I was wondering if anyone else has delt with severe leg pains with the Celiac? My daughter (2.5) has been have leg cramps for about a year. she will twist her hip and lock her legs and stay that way for up to 30 mintues. her doctors first thought just growing pains for a while, but when she saw her normal doctor she asked right away why she was walking funny. She has had xrays of the leg, normal, and bone denitsy test that showed that she is in the 25% of density. She complains all the time that her legs hurt, walking funny (almost like she doesnt bend her knees), and hates walking up and down stairs, and does not bend her knee all the time when she jumps. i feel so stressed out trying to find out whats wrong. she is on the low end on all her nutrional values too!! just trying to find a answer. we have a meeting in Chicago (we live in Columbus OH) on Monday with a new GI Celiac disease specialist, so hopefully we can get some answers. i hope i am not just being overbarring of my daughters help. any suggestions would help. Thank you so much, i love this celiac blog, it is so helpfull!!

      Rectal pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      I also have experienced this from time to time.  It seems to tie in with episodes of IBS, eating too much fibre but also because I have issues with my pudendal nerve - perhaps some sort of inflammation.  Not fun at all when it strikes.

      Impossible to get diagnosis?

      Do the skin care products that give you a rash list wheat as an ingredient or are you assuming from your reaction that they contain gluten? It is possible that not only do you have celiac disease, which is not an allergy but an autoimmune disorder, but that you also have a wheat allergy.

      Thank you, I’m very happy to be here!! Yes, lately I get rashes and itching when I accidentally use topical skin products with gluten in them. I got a bad rash around my hairline after unknowingly using glutenous hairspray, and a near-full-body rash with a sea salt spray that I guess I rinsed off insufficiently in the shower. Neither looked like typical dermatitis herpetiformis to me based on the posts I’ve read here—both were just large patches, red and slightly raised, with no blisters to speak of. At least yet. The sea salt spray was used yesterday and I noticed the itching this morning, with the rash forming obviously by this afternoon and evening.

      Thanks so much for your thorough reply! I was able to schedule with the local pediatric gastroenterologist who specializes in celiac but we have to wait 3 months to see her.

      Sorry, meant to type "or dermatitis herpetiformis for short". What? Every time I try it, the abbreviation for this skin condition is converted to the full length term. I'm trying to type "D" followed by "H".
