joint pain

[Guest guest]

Someone mentioned not long ago that [she] had lots of joint pain caused by too

many probiotics. (Maybe I don't know how to do it, but I have searched and

searched and can't find that post.) I have a BIG pain across the top of my left

arm. I wouldn't have thought it to be the joint, but maybe it is. I am not

very good at finding causes (even though I have been doing the food/symptom

diary for about a month now), but I seem to react to the yogurt once in awhile,

when I have a little more than usual, the third time being just this last

weekend. Got a severe headache. I also got concerned because my probiotic had

bifidus in it, so ordered SCDophilus from GIPro Health. I am just wondering if

I got too much of the " good " bacteria.

Why is it so hard to just come up with what works? I feel like one of those

Marilyn talked about in her lecture, " others with a bewildering array of complex

issues " . It's hard to separate what's just symptoms of aging (57 y/0) and

what's symptoms related to IBS. Times of extreme stress have made me sit up and

take notice. I went milk free about 3 years ago (still had cheese, yogurt, and

an occasional ice cream). Tremendous immediate results. Still the nagging gas

and bloating, sometimes associated with pain. Gluten free a year ago, no real

benefit there. Found SCD in June,following it DF (goat's milk yogurt), gas and

bloating mostly gone, lost 10 pounds, still up and down on the big C. Have

struggled with panic, depression, brain fog but maybe that's more related to

menopause and here to stay.

Thank you all for your time on this group. I've learned a lot and appreciate

all your comments.

,

I wrote recently about joint pain only on one joint on my left ring finger. I

did not attribute it to probiotics but an episode of illness- some D, a UTI,

brought on probably by the stress of my father's recent death where I was lax in

taking some meds and ate too many lara bars.

I am thankfully doing much better now. X rays of the joint are normal so it is

not autoimmune arthritis as I had feared. It is most likely a bit of mild

osteoarthrits- the " older age " problem that causes a joint to get thicker. It

does not hurt, but now my husband has the " problem " of buying me a new wedding

ring since the old one does not fit, and I am expecting a really really nice

one!!! hee hee.

So yes, some of our problems will be age related, like menopause, and yes we can

get normal things too like other people too- the occasional headache or whatever

and it is hard to tell what is what. Times of stress are inevitable and we have

to cope with them too.

I find a food diary is the best was to uncover a pattern of sensitivity to

something, but it is hard sometimes.
