New Here, Do Diagnosis Yet

Hi everyone. I literally just registered to the site 5 minutes ago. Haven't had a chance to read more than 1 or 2 posts. I had blood taken this morning for multiple tests, including a Celiac panel. This new doctor I have thinks I will be positive. She also thinks I have fibromyalgia. But I was wondering if anyone on here who is a diagnosed Celiac has ever had these weird symptoms: joints seem to crack more after eating gluten; weird sharp shooting pains that come out of nowhere and hit anywhere on the body (my right earlobe has it right now--lol); soles of feet hurt a lot when you first get out of bed in morning, extreme irritability, noise sensitivity and you just want to be left alone in a quiet house. These last 2 have only been for the past several months but the weird pains have been since I'm a kid. I'm 50 now. Thanks.

Hi. I am new here as well. I have read celiac has a huge variety of symptoms. Good luck with getting answers! I just got a positive blood test and I am reorder that I now have an explanation for my strange and varying symptoms.

How's your thyroid? Thyroid can contribute to joint pains and pain in soles of feet (google plantar fasciitis thyroid). Adrenal or thyroid issues can also contribute to the noise sensitivity/irritability you describe.

Be sure to get copies of your lab results. If you share them (with ranges) people can give you thoughtful feedback.

      Can celiac cause widespread pain??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Untreated celiac disease is associated with arthritis and other autoimmune diseases which can cause such pain. These categories have research articles on this topic: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/fibromyalgia-and-celiac-disease/ https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/arthritis-and-celiac-disease/

      Can celiac cause widespread pain??

      By Paula Andrews · Posted

      Hi! Did anyone experience severe body aches prior to being diagnosed?  Last year I suddenly experienced widespread pain, completely unexplained. After numerous tests with normal results I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in August and started taking Cymbalta, which helped about 80%. Now other than pain, I did not have any additional fibromyalgia symptoms.    In the following months I started experiencing diarrhea, to the point where it was constant. In January I was diagnosed with celiac disease and microscopic colitis after having an endoscopy/colonoscopy. I've been gluten-free since that day and recently my pain level has dropped to ZERO.  I'm starting to wonder if I even have fibromyalgia, or if all of my symptoms were celiac and colitis.  I've seen several doctors and no one suggested this, but from what I'm reading it sounds possible.  The fact that I was diagnosed with two different diseases within a few months also seems odd. Has anyone else experienced all-over body aches with celiac?  And if so did the pain end after eliminating gluten?  Unfortunately I don't know anyone who has either celiac or fibromyalgia to talk to.

      Understood, and with any positive blood test the usual next step is a biopsy to confirm celiac disease, and this would be true even if the tTg-IgA is negative.

      ADA, if that applies to you, has specific procedures, guidelines, rules, and regulations for employers to accommodate employees with disabilities. Check with your company HR Dpt. As Scott has mentioned this would be a quick fix, with the protection afforded employees with disabilities through ADA there is no need for you to job hunt. Hope this helps.    Ps. Coeliac Disease is now a listed Disability in the U.S.

      Yes, the TTG-IGG was positive but not the TTG-IGA.
