Breast Tenderness While Glutened

I've also noticd that when I get glutened my breasts become VERY tender. I thought that it was something else because I had breast tenderness a lot of July but then I realized that I slowly, subtly being glutened (by fedding dogs treats that I was dog sitting for). I had a small break and then it happened again this week (flipping glutened again- finally figured out it was the darn dog treats!) but today I feel like the gluten is out of my system and my breasts hurt less.

Generally when I get glutened, pretty much EVERYTHING hurts but I've only noticed the breast tenderness (both boobs) this last two times. Just wondering if anyone else has this happen. Thanks, B

I've noticed "the girls" being more tender at times, but I hadn't associated it with accidentally getting glutened. Although I think I've gotten glutened more than I realized lately. Still trying to figure out all the hidden glutens...

Yes! After a significant accidental glutening last year, I went for my annual checkup. I wound up having to go in once a month for several months for additional breast checks because I was so tender they were concerned. Once my body settled back down again (it took a while because the incident was pretty bad), so did the tenderness.

Thanks- my OB?GYN said if it didn't resolve within a month to come back and have a breast ultrasound but I'm starting to think it had to do witrh being glutened. We'll see if it resolves as they are still tender. Thanks ladies, B

Nini- I love the way you call them "the girls" :P

I've also noticed this! I just thought it was me. And all these years, I've always had tender breasts around my period. To think that all this time it was celiac.

I've read that taking larger doses of vitamin E during times of breast tenderness can help. I tried it the last time I was glutenized, and it did help reduce the tenderness.

Good luck!

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, it does make sense to continue the gluten challenge as long as you are already in the middle of it. But what will change if you rule it out? I mean, you have concluded that whatever label you want to give the condition, many of your symptoms improved when you went gluten free. Am I correct in that? According to how I understand your posting, the only symptom that hasn't responded to gluten free eating is the bone demineralization. Did I misunderstand? And if you do test positive, what will you do different than you are doing now? You have already been doing for years the main thing you should be doing and that is eating gluten free. Concerning how long you should stay on the gluten challenge, how many weeks are you into it already?

      I mean that I will be re-taking the celiac blood test again while I am currently on the gluten challenge right now, but not sure how many weeks more to keep going, to ensure a false negative does not happen. Thank you.

      Thank you for your help, I am currently in the middle of the gluten challenge. A bit over 6 weeks in. At 4 weeks I got the celiac blood tests and that is when they were negative. So to rule out the false negative, since I’m in the middle of the gluten challenge right now and will never do this again, I wanted to continue consuming gluten to the point to make sure the blood tests are not a false negative - which I did not receive a firm answer for how many weeks total.    My issue is, with these blood tests the doctors say “you are not celiac” and rule it out completely as a potential cause of my issues, when the symptoms scream of it. I want to rule out this 30 year mystery for my own health since I’m in the middle of it right now. Thank you!

      I am a male and had developed osteopenia by age 50 which is when I finally got dx with celiac disease. I am sure I had it for at least 13 years before that because it was then I developed idiopathic elevated liver enzymes. I now have a little scoliosis and pronounced kyphosis (upper spine curvature).  All of your symptoms scream of celiac disease, even if the testing you have had done does not. You may be an atypical celiac, meaning the disease is not manifesting itself in your gut but is attacking other body systems. There is such a thing as sero negative celiac disease. But you still have not given me a satisfactory answer to my question of why do you need a differential dx between celiac disease and NCGS when either one would call for complete abstinence from gluten, which you have already been practicing except for short periods when you were undergoing a gluten challenge. Why do you want to put a toxic substance into your body for weeks when, even if it did produce a positive test result for celiac disease, neither you or your doctors would do anything different? Regardless of what doctors are recommending to you, it is your body it is affecting not theirs and they don't seem to have given you any good justification for starting another gluten challenge. Where you live, are doctors kings or something?

      Sorry to put it clearly, at 15, infertility started (tried to word it nicely) meaning menstruation stopped. Which is in correlation to celiac I mean. Thank you.
