Symptoms Of Glutened?

Hello all!

 

So i have been gluten free for about four weeks now and I have a few questions.

I have managed to only Gluten myself about three times.

 

When I do eat gluten, I notice that:

1. Sharp Headache

2. Extreme Hunger for the rest of the day sometimes two days. I could literally eat the fridge. It's like nothing I eat makes me feel full. 

3. Slight Bloated feeling. Facial bloating. 

4. Lethargic feeling  

 

Is this normal? Many of the symptoms posts I find mention a lot of cramping and bowel discomfort, which I don't really experience

 

Yes I have been tested and have Celiacs. .

 

Any confirmation of these symptoms would be great. Thanks :)

Not everyone gets the "classic" symptoms. My most prevalent symptom was psoriasis. Then I found out that my life-long insomnia was a symptom. AND my headaches, AND my frequent hiccups, AND the swelling in my feet. And brain fog? I thought it was the first signs of Alzheimers.

 

Now if I get glutened, I WILL get digestive symptoms. On TOP of all the rest. :angry:

I am still waiting for official diagnosis on Celiac or wheat allergy. However I did want to mention when I first started looking for what was wrong regarding the facial swelling I found this "oral facial allergy syndrome". This gave information on possibly 2 allergies going at one time allergist so far in agreement. I have this week taken dairy out of my diet, as well as wheat and what a difference! Lethargic oh my yes I have that , I also will not eat unless food is put in front of me for years never hungry, but then it is like I can not get enough. Feel as if I am running on empty as I told my Doctor. She will be checking me for thyroid, as well as vitamins, Iron. So far I am extremely low on sodium, Vit D and Potassium.

I glutened myself once at Taco Bell, I couldn't believe how bad I felt! I was sick to my stomach, I felt like I was drunk, I layed on the floor and couldn't hardly move! OMG It was horrid! Then the Brain Fog , and the No energy, I only notice where my cheek bone are , it kinda swells there. But Ohhh my!! I can not believe! How horrid it make me feel!!

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?
