Breast Tenderness While Glutened


Guest BERNESES

Recommended Posts

Guest BERNESES

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!

      Welcome to the forum, @TerryinCO! Do you know what blood tests were ordered? Was it for like you would have done for an annual physical (CBC/CMP) or celiac disease specific antibody tests? I find it interesting that your GI doc did the endoscopy and biopsy before he/she ordered blood tests to check for celiac disease, assuming the blood tests ordered were indeed specific for celiac disease. Normally, the sequence is the other way around. Was the GI doc doing the endoscopy for some other reason in the first place? The endoscopy/biopsy is considered the gold standard for celiac diagnosis so I also find it interesting that the doc reflexively felt a need to order blood work as well.  Just a heads up in case the bloodwork ordered was not specific for celiac antibodies: Going on a gluten-free diet before the blood draw for celiac antibody testing is done will likely invalidate the testing. You probably know this already but hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's disease) is common in the celiac population and there is a statistical correlation. And then there is the weight loss. And I assume you have suffered with GERD for a long time and that is what led to the Barret's. All symptoms of celiac disease.

      ...so lotsa questions and unknowns for me.  Gastro Doc did an endoscopy and found villi damaged so Celiac is suspect/known.  Subsequent blood work done and am awaiting evaluation from  NP or Doc. I've started gluten free diet and that's going well.  I don't have any real symptoms but have lost ~ 10# over last year or so....180 down to 170 ( I'm about 6'0 and always been on the scrawny side).  I'm 76 and up to now have not  had Celiac/gluten issues, but do take hypothyroid meds, and diagnosed/treated for Barret's Esophigus. I'm exploring the site here - looks like a lot of info available.  Talk with you later. Make yourself a great day! Terry

      @EricaFilpi, please tell us more about your recovery...did you need to take iron infusions or supplements? What other supplements are you taking? I'll assume you've been gluten-free since August.

      We have been tested and tested negative. But we have not done the gene testing.

      So true, @trents, I was a skeptic myself!
