Migraines And Worse Symptoms After gluten-free?

Hi,

So my dh has been sick since about 3 mos after I was diagnosed celiac and went gluten-free. That was almost 2 yrs ago. Since then he has got belly bloat, D, and other digestive trouble. He was checked out by a gi guy who ran a bunch of tests and proclaimed IBS. Then he saw an acupuncturist/herbalist, who's normally very good, but he didn't improve much. She also gave him anti-parasite herbs.

A year ago, he tested for celiac and it came back negative - blood test from Promethius. The symptoms have continued, same as they have since the beginning.

Starting last Monday, for my amusement (haha), and because he loves me and will agree to odd experiments, he has gone gluten-free. For the past 24 hours he's had a migraine (mild, as always when he gets them - only since 2 yrs ago). He thinks his symptoms are worse.

Could *removing* gluten from a diet cause problems? I'm thinking it is either coincidence, gluten withdrawal, he's allergic to a common gluten-free food (like tapioca or sorghum or something not in a typical american diet) which he's eating more of now, or ?????

Help,

Merika

Ok, nevermind, lol, I finally had time to read the rest of this section, and I guess you are all addressing this same question from a few days ago.

Sorry! :)

Thanks Tiffany! He seems a bit better today.

Now I am paranoid after reading more on this board that at the end of his gluten-free month, he'll go back on gluten, get really really sick, and then blame me :unsure: (knock wood) Let's hope it goes some other way....

Could he have develped a lactose intolerance?

My hubbie started to get terrible headaches and stomach gripes after about 9 months gluten-free.

He cut the milk out,and it stopped.Slowly he's tried to re-introduce it-and found he can tolerate small amounts. :)

      Welcome to he forum community, @DjinnDjab! You wrote: "i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships." Are you saying that the need to eat gluten free has resulted in losing all your friends and your entire social life?

      i am a 37 yo male and this describes me perfectly. on a scale of 1-10, i am at 8. 9. 10, 11 for 8-12 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. this has been going on for about 5 years and i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships so i spend a lot of time with myself. and uhhh what really sucks is uhh, sorry to say, "enjoying myself" is a trigger for this pain. i can be fine all day until i take 5 mins to "myself" and then its all downhill from there. this has robbed me of every.single.thing in my once colorful life.

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.
