I just ran across this site. I too believe there is a link between fibromyalgia and celiac disease. For years I suffered from fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, having so many weird symptoms that waxed and waned. The doctors found my celiac disease by accident while investigating my digestive issues. I underwent a pill camera test that showed the “scalloping” that is characteristic in celiac, then was biopsied and found to have Marsha III stage damage. I have been gluten free for one year now and still have many of the same symptoms. My digestive symptoms improved in severity for a few months but then worsened again. I’m staying gluten free in hopes that in the future my body will heal. Hopefully at some point in the future there will be a medication found to treat celiac disease.

I have just been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and I can’t stop crying I feel my life is over at 44 years old. I have an 11 year old who has spent most of her life at the Doctors office watching her mom get poked and prodded. I have just been referred to a pain clinic. I believe strongly that vitamin deficiancy has a lot to do with nerve pain. I have finally found a doctor who is willing to even consider the possibility that Celaic and Fibromyalgia could be connected. Usually when they hear Fibromyalgia they run. It’s such a blanket and no one is ever willing to look deeper. I too want answers and one thing I find strange is that 3 years ago I had severe pain and was told it was Fibromyalgia and that was it end of story but I decided to go to a spine doctor in Boston who found that i needed a spinal fusion of my c-5 and c-6 disc. he did the surgery and it was like magic the Fibromyalgia went away with the exception of the fatigue. Now same symptoms but this time he says my c-4 disc does not need surgery although it will at some point. My family doctor is perplexed by this and can’t explain how the surgery made the fibro symptoms go away.
