I'm glad to see that you got answers. I hope that he's doing fine now.

Tracey, just to reiterate what Nancy said, there can DEFINITELY be a delay in reaction. I was able to get gluten products for months without syptoms and, then, BAM was hit with the symptoms like never before. This is just an extreme example to show, but I have shorter lapses of time between being glutened and feeling the consequences. I will pray for you...

Hello! I hope you are well. I am almost certain that I posted a topic discussing Joint Pains and Rheumatoid Factor yesterday afternoon and I can't find it. Could you help?

Hello, I'm sure many of you are getting used to seeing my name associated with joint/muscle pain, stiffness and soreness . Hopefully that will soon be a memory. QUESTION: Has anyone had joint pains and my other symptoms as well as a slightly abnormal Rheumatoid Factor and THEN became okay? As in symptoms are gone and never came back? PLEASE let...

I second what everyone has been saying: download or buy some relaxation, sleeping music; write down the issues that are ailing you and burn them or throw them away or simply vent on the page and then do something rejuvenating; pray or meditate (this is often intimidating, but it doesn't have to be long at all. you could do it for a few seconds. just deep...

Hi! I'm no experiment, but I do believe that you should avoid dairy for while longer. There are so many ways that the bodies reaction to Celiac Disease and having been glutened can lead to possibly temporary non-gluten food intolerances. So, I would think that that is what's happening with you. As that is what seemed to happen to many and many other Celiacs...

Hi Belinda! I'll be praying for your child's quick recovery. I think it will be a matter of weeks. And, look at the blessing, your child is still so young, so she won't miss gluten and grow up knowing already what not to eat. Have a nice day, Florence

I encourage you to document what you're eating when the pains arise. Perhaps it is a complication with having been glutened previously or it's something that you're eating now. I definitely would experience abdominal pains while I was glutening and not glutening myself for the past four year. So, I can relate to the symptoms. I hope that these symptoms clear...

hey! i'm definitely sorry to hear about your difficulty with the people you were with and Red Lobster's. It can be so difficult managing Celiac Disease and the world separately, let alone together! I encourage you to keep venting when necessary and feeling better as a result. Keep your head up, Flo

Nancy, I encourage that diet change. I am hoping that my joint/muscle pains, stiffness and tenderness are related to my diet. So, I'm gluten-free (due to Celiac) and lectin-free to be safe. I basically eat only vegetables, fruits and meats/chicken/some fish. I can't say that I've seen drastic results. It is day to day and a bumpy road at that. Although, I...

Thanks EVERYONE for your responses so far. Yeah, Julie5914, I'm not sure if Tylenol is gluten-free, that might be part of the problem. As posted, I have heard that Advil is gluten-free. Good luck with everything everyone. Please continue to send me information as you get it as it relates to joint/muscle pain, stiffness and soreness. Florence

Hello, I'm sorry I can't be of any assistance with these test results. I have a question though: With what type of doctor did you take these tests? On a basic level, can you explain to me what these tests means? Maybe I should take them. Much love and fortune, Florence

Hello beautiful people: I need to know, how long have you been gluten-free? AND how long have your Celiac Disease related symptoms persisted AFTER having been gluten-free? PAST: I ask because I've had celiac disease for about 4 years. (What brought my attention to the disease at first was persistent, severe joint pains that went away shortly after I...

Dear Jessica, I'm happy to hear that you've managed to get some answers. YES, be gluten-free/wheat-free as necessary. Take care of yourself. Love, Florence

I'm glad, so glad, to hear about people's improvements. THANK GOD!
