Joint pain

We are just starting our gluten-free journey. Will it help reduce the back pain that my husband suffers, and the ankle and knee pain my daughter suffers? Does anyone have any personal testimonies??

Thank you!!

fish oil for joint pain
by: Anonymous

i have been told i am probably celiac and the advise was to cut out the gluten. My joints are very sore and i'm starting to look like my grandmother in my hands! My back too is very achey.

My New Year's resolution is to cut out the gluten, but i've also found fish oil helps a lot. I've been taking in twice a day.

Joint pain was a MAJOR issue for me before going gluten free.

I spent a huge amount of time on my couch feeling like I was 80! It took a couple of months for the full relief to be felt, but the difference for me was amazing.

There is no way to predict whether it will make a difference for your family. The only way to know is to try!

Good luck, and I hope it has a positive effect for you.

Hi, I have had joint pain, constipaton, and bloating for over a year now and it is driving me mad. Some days I feel several months pregnant. I initially believed it may be cyclical but am now not convinced. Can anyone advise me of the best way forward. I have just taken the first step to eliminate gluten. Meanwhile Is there a specific test that can determine that I am in fact gluten intolerant? Your help is very much appreciated. x

I had been treated by several rhumatologists for 12 years for arthritis and bursitis in my hips and knees before diagnosis with celiac.

Some days I could barely walk and I was never without pain.

No more!

Within weeks of going gluten free my joints stopped hurting. I now have occasional twinges (hey, I'm 65, so that's normal) but nothing like I suffered with for so many years.

I hope GF will do as much for your husband's back.

My experience on joint pain
by: Chris

I suffer with a wheat intolerance. I am lucky that I can eat small amounts of wheat products. If I have too much my elbows and fingers start to ache. This seems to have got worse over the years. It used to take a day or so to notice, now it is the same day, sometimes within hours. I have started my own blog at www.bakingglutenfree.org to try and help other people

I was amazed
by: SonicMagnolia

I had such pain in my knee - I was told I had arthritis in it and I thought I just had to live with it. I went on the South Beach diet cause I thought losing some weight would put less pressure on my joints and would help. For the first two weeks on the SB diet you can't have any bread, pasta, sugar etc.

After about 10 days I realized that not only was my knee pain free but I hadn't had a canker sore (I had been plagued with cankers for years - big time).

I can only attribute this to the gluten free diet I embarked on
