Hi, I currently tried a 2 month trial for gluten free. Some of my symptoms decreased heavily, but I wanted a medical diagnosis. So I've been eating gluten for about a month and quite a few of my symptoms have came back and more. The bad gas came back, bloating more, the first time trying bread again I had to rush to the toilet a few times (d) and have got it odd times. Symptoms what have came since before, fatigued, dry lips a lot more especially in the morning, heel pain,dizziness and I've developed a lump on my foot (opposite to a bonion, called a bonionette if it is that) Are these all symptoms too? Could some be a nutritional deficiency?(Bone pain?) Thanks

I had a lot of problems when I reintroduced gluten for the challenge, much worse than before. I had already been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, which leads to heel pain, which might be worth looking at. Mine disappeared again when I went gluten-free. It returns if I get glutened. I think it is a generalized inflammation that gets us on gluten sometimes.

Good luck with the challenge, not fun. I gave up on doctor's orders after 3 weeks. I hope you get the diagnosis you want, but if you get negative tests, consider non celiac gluten intolerance. I had negative tests, including genes, so my GI diagnosed NCGI. It might be worth keeping a record of symptoms on ane off gluten, my GI used these in diagnosis.

Best wishes Mw

Hi There.

I am new to this but I just had to comment because I have similar symptoms. Have not yet been diagnosed yet, but had blood work done last week now waiting on results.

I have also been diagnosed with plantar facilis, pardon the spelling, but never really thought it could be connected. Also have dry lips too. My stomach has felt uneasy for weeks, lots of gas, having really loose stools, heartburn and acid reflex. Joint pain has been really bad lately and I have been diagnosed with a fistula.

It's just really nice I could find some others with the same kind of symptoms and its not all in my head!

Should also mention celiac disease runs in the famliy, grandmother, aunt and some cousins.

Think I should try going gluten free starting this week and see if things improve.

Anyhow sorry to ramble on.

Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback! It runs in my family to as my mother has it. I'm just hoping it is celiac when I get tested to stop all my problems!

Hey goodtime, just to let you know that if you need or choose an endoscopy or further blood tests, you need to be eating gluten still, so maybe consider holding off until testing is complete, if you want a diagnosis.

I wish you luck with finding the root of your problems. It is amazing what can turn out to be related

Just to reiterate, as difficult as it is, please stay on gluten until your biopsy----for the most accurate result.

FWIW, I had what was called "Plantar fasciitis" too.

"itis" which means " inflammation" -- can occur anywhere in the body with a gluten problem.

In 2007, (before DX when I was very ill and did not know why) I had to have special inserts made, but still suffered terrible foot pain. I felt like I was stepping on glass when I got out of bed every morning and I could not walk without pain.

Now, 2 years after diagnosis, I have NO foot pain symptoms whatsoever and there is no need for the inserts a podiatrist told me I would "wear forever". This is just my experience, of course! :)

Mindwarp, I was thinking if the blood test is positive I would just go gluten free and see if symptoms go away after time. I am already having a colonoscopy this month. It's prescreening to make sure I do not have Chron's or something else. Before I have surgery on the fistula. So I figure that is enough poking and prodding for now.

Irish Heart my plantar fasciitis is now a mild discomfort and in the left heel, when it first started it was really bad. But 2 days after it went away, than the next day was back again like it was at the first which is weird!

Anyhow I will keep you's posted on results and guess I will stay on gluten so if test come back neg they can do further testing.

Thanks for the replies!

Thanks! Hope it is celiac and I can just get better and feel myself again! Has anyone had any problems with bonions?

      Gluten migranes at night

      I'll ask the same question that knitty kitty asked? On what basis did your Dr arrive at the conclusion that you have gluten intolerance? But let's be clear about terminology because the terms "gluten intolerance" and "gluten sensitivity" are typically used interchangeably out there in the wild and both are used indiscriminately to speak of two different...

      Gluten migranes at night

      Interesting....my Dr says since migranes are my only symptom she says I have gluten intolerance. I have stopped eating gluten. However, it seems to sneak in from time to time. Example: I ate canned mushrooms! Never thought canned mushrooms could have gluten, but they did. I had a migrane for 3 nights straight. Or I eat out, I think I am getting gluten free...

      Gluten migranes at night

      What medicine did they give you for migraines? Does it help much? I also suffer from migraines and am on one med for prevention and another for relief after onset. Many times, my headaches start during the night when I'm sleeping but not always. Have you cut back on gluten consumption of late? As knitty kitty explained, you must have been eating generous...

      Night time migranes

      Welcome to the forum, @Debado, Migraines at night can be caused by high levels of histamine. Histamine Intolerance can cause physical symptoms like migraines. Foods contain histamine. Our bodies make histamine, an important neurotransmitter. Our bodies naturally produce more histamine at night as part of our circadian rhythm, our sleep-wake cycles...

      Night time migranes

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Debado, Migraines at night can be caused by high levels of histamine.  Histamine Intolerance can cause physical symptoms like migraines. Foods contain histamine.  Our bodies make histamine, an important neurotransmitter.  Our bodies naturally produce more histamine at night as part of our circadian rhythm, our sleep-wake cycles.   Some foods like gluten and nuts contain high histamine themselves or trigger our bodies to produce more histamine.  A low histamine diet is helpful, cutting out high histamine foods and histamine-release triggering foods.   Our bodies can breakdown a certain amount of histamine, but sometimes our bodies cannot keep up with the amount of histamine needing to be broken down, and can be overwhelmed by the amount of histamine resulting in Histamine Intolerance and health problems like migraines.   Vitamins C, B12, Pyridoxine B6 and thiamin B1 help lower histamine levels.  Our bodies use these vitamins to make an enzyme DOA (diamond oxidase) that breaks down histamine.  DAO from beef or pork kidney is an over-the-counter supplement that can be taken.   Riboflavin B2 is very helpful for relieving migraines.   Have you been diagnosed with Celiac Disease or suspect you have it?   Happy Holidays!

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @ABP2025, Have you thought about having a DNA test to check for known Celiac genes?    I do hope you will make sure that you are getting sufficient gluten to provoke an autoimmune response strong enough that the antibodies can be measured in the blood.  See article below. Celiac disease affects the absorption of nutrients,  including vitamins and minerals.  Your symptoms may be associated with thiamine deficiency.   Migraines and peripheral neuropathy, phimosis (yes, even this), and white spots on the brain are seen in thiamine deficiency.  Celiac disease disrupts the absorption of all the essential nutrients, but thiamine can be quickly depleted, in as little as three days.  Thiamine deficiency can occur even if blood tests show normal levels.  Thiamine deficiency can affect antibody production.

      Night time migranes

      Anybody ever heard of getting a migrane from gluten and coconut oil ONLY at night?   If I consume gluten or coconut oil, even in the morning,  I will get a migrane. But not until half way thru the night. I don't get this. Why at night? Why not right after I eat?

      Early on,  DQ2 and DQ8 were the primary genes that have been connected to the potential to develop celiac genes but more recent genetic research suggests there may be more.
