Celiac disease is an auto-immune disorder of the digestive system that occurs in genetically-predisposed individuals. It is characterised by damage or flattening to all or part of the villi lining the small intestine, which interferes with the absorption of nutrients.

Fibromyalgia?

For the past few weeks there seems to be an added symptom to my Celiac Disease. I think that it's Fibromyalgia, but not too sure. When I get up from sitting for short to long periods of time, my whole body feels stiff. I feel like an old lady. My muscles ache and overall I always feel fatigued. I wake up sore and tired.

I am making a Dr. appointment right away, but in the meantime does anyone have any tips? I feel like garbage and it makes it difficult to live.

Thanks in advance, friends.

I have fibromyalgia and i have just been looking at gluten intolerance. The symptoms actually look similar.
The symptoms you describe do sound like the pain and stiffness I get with the fibro. I hope you get good news from the doctor.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
