I am dealing with the same thing right now at the age of 61. Muscle and joint pain, my skin hurts to the touch, diarrhea. Found out last August I have celiac, and struggling to stay gluten free. Your Testimony gives me hope! Thank you.

Hi,
Vitamin D intake is not equal to good leveles, a value in the midle of the range could be better.

Just wondering why you relinquish your own health to your doctor and don’t take the autonomy to make your own decisions to try a diet? In other words, why would you need to ask your doctor before trying a diet?

I went gluten free over 6 years ago after reading a blog on inflammation. I had severe back and knee pain for about 10 years and when hip pain was added and I could barely walk, I went to physical therapy which didn’t help. I felt less pain 5 days after going gluten free and each day less pain. I’m also lactose free and vegan since that bothers me, too. I’m 64 and can hike 7 miles up and down mountain trails if I stick to being gluten, and vegan. If I eat even a tiny bit of gluten I will have pain, bloating and headaches.

Hi. I had similar issues and in addition to cut gluten, test your B12 and other vitamins and mineral levels. Cutting gluten and getting the vitamins my body was lacking helped me to cure me.

i was struggling with learning disabilities my whole life because of brain fog as well as other things.
what’s been happening lately is when i eat even the smallest bit of gluten, i can barely walk. the muscles in the back of my legs and butt get really tight and they hurt so bad. then my back joins in the party and i’m almost in a wheel chair. i can barely walk. i stopped the gluten and now i have energy and am able to walk and do things i couldn’t before. but i do have hashimotos and i have been getting headaches lately. my vision sometimes gets blurry. why does gluten almost cripple me and why do i get these headaches. also my sugar cravings are through the roof since i stopped the gluten. why?

Hi Dr. O!
I have been following Dr Daryl Geoffre and his book Get Off Your acid changed my life. That is how I found out about you! Can you tell me your thoughts on Osteoarthritis and gluten? I have been trying to stick with a gluten free mostly plant based lifestyle (dairy free allergy.. no refined sugar) but still dealing with joint degeneration in 7 joints. I am an athlete so its very challenging

I have often thought that i may be gluten intolerant and that this prevents my body from absorbing all the nutrients from my food. This has been going on for about 3 years. And i just thought it was something i had to put up with. I am now goi g to see if i can get tested for it or even celiac disease? Other symptoms i have developed over the last year is carpal tunnel/ganglian and numbness in the side of my feet and in the last few weeks, what appears to be plantur fascillitus! ( not sure if thats spelt right ) Yes i did say i dont complain 😅 but this is genuinely a list of symptoms i have. I do not let this affect my way of life, i lead a very active life and very often i am exhausted... Suggestions , be gentle 😂]]> Thank you Dr. Fascinating subject.
I am 58 ( going through the menopause ) and it seems every symptom i have is put down to the menopause!
I go to the gym, an also a yoga instructor and eat a healthy varied diet. So I am amazed every day that i ache so much, my muscles and joints are constantly sore. Fir example just sitting on my feet causes excessive pain 😥 i dont grumble and i just carry on but it is very frustrating when i continue to work so hard at the gym .

Thanks a lot for your response Dr. O! Your article on oxalate issues is also making me think that that might also be a source of problems for me. I think I need to try elliminating buckwheat and some sorces of oxalates and see how I feel. Thanks for all your informative articles!

I have Hashimotos and took Synthroid for 1 yr without improvement but the labs “were in therapeutic range” I changed Dr’s and have been taking Armour Thyroid for 25 yrs. A year ago I started having acute cognitive problems and the MRI and EEG was normal. I began a gluten free diet and in less than one week was about 95% better. Over the past month i have been having intermittent bilateral eyelid twitching and an ache over the left eyebrow, as well as an occasional parietal ache. I have been eating oatmeal almost every morning for a few months now so I am going to stop the oatmeal. I will keep you posted.
