Anyone else feel this way? I am 7 weeks or so gluten free, however I realized last week I had a major issue to caisen, and had been eating it for days... so my GI symptoms came back full force, and my muscle twitching got way worse as well, with some painful spasms.. well 2 or 3 days since I've touched caisen- the twitching is improved.. but I was walking around yesterday a bit (which isn't anything new- but it was on rougher/rocky terrain) and now I feel like I ran a marathon!!

It literally feels like I went to the gym my legs ache/are sore (build up of lactic acid feeling)so badly!! Is this normal?? I just feel like I'm falling apart still! But my GI symptoms are better in the last 24 hours.. not sure if this is just a result from all of that or not! Thanks!

Could be, my muscles ache and I get very tired if I eat gluten and sometimes when I don't. I am not sure where it comes from. I know this doesn't help you except to know there are others that experience this.

Muscles are hard and they can't loosen up? I take the burpless Omega 3/6/9 for that and helps wonders. Someone else here suggested it to me and I find it really does work. Hopefully the spasma will stay away being off caesins but if you find that's not the fix, magnesium might help.

I'm 18 months into this and I'm still figuring this all out. I feel exactly the way you feel now. My poor little daughter has been suffering too so I had to figure it out...I believe it's teff flour so now I'm learning about gliadin vs gluten. Oy...It will get easier, but I think it's constant diligence.

If I were you I'd for sure lose the dairy while you're healing. And mentally prepare for some more bumps in the road. But you'll keep feeling better and better. Most days.

Yeah I started feeling the same way lately too. I've only been gluten free (failing off and on) for the last 4 months. I've been really tired with really sore muscles even those that I don't think I've used that much during the day. I also have realized when I feel the worst feeling just generally sick my body temperature dropped 1-2 F. Does this happen to anyone else? Also when I exercise I start feeling sick too and by the end of the night my muscles sort of twitch/minor spasm though this is much different than the spasm I use to get from gluten.

I just saw a doctor today my CBC is relatively normal and I don't have mono. Still waiting to see if it's iron, my thyroid, or something else.

I've had brief similar issues due to lack of salt intake before but those have always gone away by the end of the day after consuming Gatorade or cooking with extra salt.

      Question on if i can contact my gastro doctor whenever?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @lsky! In Canada I believe your healthcare system is totally socialized so I doubt if you have the option of making direct appointments with specialists. In the U.S. it is becoming more and more that way as most people here now are covered by some government managed healthcare network and almost all providers and specialists are part of those networks. Here and there you will find independent providers that take private pay only but it is the exception. Both in Canada and in the U.S. I believe there is a concerted effort to always keep the PCP in the loop.

      By lsky · Posted

      I have had celiac disease since i was 7 and i've recently had worsening symptoms, I live in canada and the doctors right now are horrible so my general doctor never puts in my referrals or she does it wrong and i have to wait months-years for an answer. I was wondering I already have a Gastroenterologist, could i just contact him and ask to book an upcoming appointment? i'm not sure if it's different in canada or not.

      Symptoms after ingesting gluten

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @Juliana82! Bleeding where? Thanks for the articles on seronegative celiac disease. As I recall, one of our moderators is seronegative and has been faithful to draw our attention to this phenomenon at different times. The heterozygous factor seronegative celiac disease is an important factoid I believe.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By Wrensmith · Posted

      With such a weak positive, his got may or may not be cleared in three months. My daughter when diagnosed at the age of seven had a TTG score of 388. It was 18 months on a gluten-free diet before her levels returned to normal. it seems to me that when you started something that allows your son to gain weight, as he clearly needs to do, you may want to keep doing it.  Sometimes you just need to figure out the science of it as you go along. Have you been tested?  That’s how I found out I had celiac disease, was after my daughter was diagnosed, and the recommendation given to me was that all of her first-degree relations should be tested as well. I came back with a weak positive when I was on a largely, though not entirely, gluten-free diet (cooking for my newly diagnosed child). good luck with everything.

      Does anyone have bleeding after eating gluten? You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not very common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/
