Frozen Shoulder

I was just diagnosed with "frozen shoulder", and my doctor said that it has a relationship to my celiac disease (diagnosed 2 months ago). Has anyone else had both problems or any words of wisdom?

Have you had joint issues before? The other person I knew that had this dx also had an iron overload (hemochromatosis) which can damage joints and cause them to lock. If you haven't had your iron/ferritin levels checked, you might want to.

Wow! Just joined tonight to try and find some answrs to what seems to be never ending health issues. I too have had extreme pain in one shoulder and down my arm. Grinding, loss of range of motion. This too could be from celiac disease?

My hubs had/has frozen shoulder. At first we didn't know what his shoulder problem was & then a friend who has Lupus has the problem & mentioned hers to us & described it. I Googled it also & yup, that's what my hubs has. It presented about 3-4 months before we figured out he was celiac also. He's been gluten-free for 3 months now & it's much, much better already.

OH, Yes!! This is one symptom that led my brother and I to celiac disease!! We both started developing increased levels in our Liver Enzymes AST and ALT, and then the frozen shoulder! (my right, his left) After going gluten-free for three months, my pain in my right arm really diminished and my liver enzymes went down as well. Now being 6 months gluten-free, the pain in my shoulder is barely there and my liver enzymes are back to normal!!

My brother is experiencing the same results...!!:)

      Blunted villi almost 4 year after diagnosis

      I only had the one endoscopy. My GI wasn’t worried that I still had blunted villi. My antibody levels are now normal. I never had specific symptoms, although I generally feel better now, less fatigue. I think not having excess lymphocytes any more would be an improvement. Since you still have symptoms I hope your doctors will still look for a...

      Blunted villi almost 4 year after diagnosis

      Thanks so much for replying. I truly appreciate it. I was diagnosed in December of 2020 after having an endoscopy with biopcies. The biopcies showed the same thing. Mild blunting of the villi and it was also showing lymphocytes. This time is still showing mild blunting and no lymphocytes. No sure If that would be an improvement. The thing I improved on...

      Just checking that you are taking 1000 mcg b 12. The reason I ask is because I take 100 which I thought was a lot at over 4000% of rda even though the body allegedly throws off what is not needed.

The thing I improved on gluten-free diet but I am still experiencing symptoms.  I have read that some adults might never fully recover their villi. I was truly hoping that would not be me. My antibodies are now within normal range. Just wondering if you have had any other endoscopy after the 4 year mark and how are you feeling now. Just looking for hope. Thanks
