It seems that celiacs have more problems with sciatica than normal. Is this true or am I just getting old and sitting on my bum too much?
I have a great stretch for my sciatic pain but would also be interested in any other exercises that y'all can share.
Thanks!

It could be both. I got sciatica after some extreme surgery but could it have been also caused by celiac, I really don't know. I always say my psychotic nerve is acting up.
I got sciatica from falling in the shower.....sounds like im old....im only 20 lol
I have it and I don't know why - My MRI came back ok! It's been bothering me in conjunction with IT band trouble for years now. I'm trying pysical therapy again so that I might have a shot at running again!
THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!
I've had sciatica since I was 18 years old. I'm an avide dancer, and have been since I was 3, I have a strong back, work out daily, eat healthy and than VOILA! Suddenly I'm walking in Wal-Mart and feel as if my knee gave out on me and then two hours later I'm in the hospital being given Tylenol 3 for the pain. I managed to suffer through and never went through with any of my plans of going to university for dance because of fear for a relapse
I just found out three days ago that I am positive for ciliacs and my doctor went "oh well that explains a lot." Gee, no kidding.
I can't say I'm happy for everyone with both sciatica and ciliac, but thank you so much for posting this topic, I'm still young and if I get this under control and my back gets better (considerably) I'm treating myself to choreography classes and a couple of auditions

Just a heads up, especially to you youngsters 
, really bad sciatica can be one of the first signs of ankylosing spondylitis. Its a nasty disease that makes your spine stiff and unbendable (in some) or just very painful in joints and tendons. So if you're constantly suffering from this, get in to see a rheumatologist as you can. There are treatments that can prevent a lot of the damage. It is an autoimmune disease so celiacs are probably more likely to have it than regular folks.

Sciatica-like pain was just a symptom of celiac for me.
My father and I both had Back and Leg pain to where my doc thought I had sciatica
BUT once I went gluten free, it's gone!
When I get glutened accidentally, I get the leg pain back temporarily.
My dad was referred to back surgery since he was a truck driver, but
going without wheat solved it for him!
