Just wondering if any out there had pain as a symptom of celiac disease? I'm not really talking all-over pain as in Fibromyalgia, but say a pain that was in a particular joint or muscle. And if so, was that pain relieved after going gluten-free?

I guess, out of curiousity, I'd like to know if the all-over pain as in FMS got better too. But my pain is more localized, so that interests me more.

Anybody?

I still have pain, numbness, tingling and weakness in my hands that radiates up to my elbow, mostly on my right side, but it hasn't gotten any worse (while in the year prior to going gluten-free it'd gone from being just in my hand.) Also, it hasn't started happening my feet or going up to my shoulder, which seem to be next in the progression. I'm thankful for that! I would really like what I do have to go away, but I'm not certain if nerve damage heals, but I'd assume if it does, it does so slowly.

Now, one of my kids has almost stopped having the intense leg or foot pains that used to often plague him at night. In the last five months, since going gluten-free, he's only had it a few times and each was after accidentally ingesting gluten. This has gone down from several times a week in the past.

What kind of pain have you been experiencing?

Never diagnosed with FMS, but lots of joint and muscle pain. It went away pretty much completely with the gluten-free diet, but it took many, many months. I would guess I took Advil for nearly a year.
