Diarrhea, constipation, arthritis, eczema, cystic acne, eye inflammation, nasal congestion, etc….

Wait so my undiagnosed joint pain could be related to certain foods causing horrible cramping diarrhea and shitting blood if I eat certain foods? That's gonna make all of this so much more difficult. I was willing to put up with occasional severe discomfort intestinal cramps and bloody diarrhea. The joint pain though is making walking and even driving(applying pressure on the gas or brake) difficult sometimes if changing my diar might help I might have to actually try.

Big time! If you have bone and joint pain, get checked for celiac or Hashimoto's

Sore bones are my biggest signed I've been glutened, and it lasts for ages.

This one big time. Taking Benadryl/prednisone can help with some of the joint inflammation if it's bad enough.
