i've been gluten free for a lil bit more than 2mths. recently i've started to feel all the old symptoms. Im constantly hungry, gettin ulcers in my mouth, a rash (that seems to move aroudn on my body) exhausted, depressed, etc etc. I've been splurging and buying gluten free stuff at the grocery store, like muffins, pizza crust, english muffins etc. and thats when i started to notice that i couldnt stop eating. Then recently i burnt my hand (2nd degree) so i've been on anti-inflamitory and tynenol with codene and a cream for my hand. I've never had a reaction from these things before and its only been a week since i've been using them and i've felt this way much longer.

I live on my own so theres not cross contamination in my house, and i havent gone out to eat or anything like that. Could stress in general be triggering these symptoms?? im not seeing my doctor till the beginning of april ( im currently in a different city then she is) so any ideas on what might be causing it would be helpful, my school work is starting to suffer ;)

thanks so much

I am sorry to hear that you are going through a bad spell.... I do think stress could be a factor.

My advice would be to back off all the processed foods... bread/pizza/pasta, whether gluten-free or not, are not the most healthy things to eat.

Be kind to yourself and your insides: eat fresh veggies (well steamed) and fruits and plain meats and eggs for a while; rice is probably the best choice for carbs. Maybe even go off diary and corn and soy till you feel better.

Get plenty of rest and try to find time (even if it's only a few mins) to sit and relax.

Hang in there and Good Luck,

Pam

Personally, I have a bad reaction to Tylenol w/codiene, I always have. My husband does too, but his developed well after we were married. I'm wondering if you could have developed an allergy to the codiene? just a thought!

I know when I'm stressed my symptoms are worse!

hang in there

Hi, I hope you feel better soon. Could the meds have wheat starch in them? Also, I always get a bad reaction to tylenol codeine, too. I think that is common. My mom does too. Try taking half a tablet (if they're in tab form, of course) Maybe it's something you're eating that has had the recipe/formula changed? Just fishing here, but as said before stress does do strange things to our bodies. I hope your hand heals soon! Burns are so miserable, I know.

I'm also allergic to anything with codeine/morphine in them... could be connected

also, I agree with the other poster that said to cut back on the processed foods and give your body time to heal before reintroducing them.

1. there could be cross contamination in all the pre-processed items you're getting.

2. tylenol with codein can cause hunger, exhaustion, and depression.

3. if you're getting too many simple carbs, without fat/protein to balance out the insulin reaction, you may be dealing with hypoglycemic symptoms.

Thanks,

I have taken the codene out for the last day and a half and i dont feel so hungry or emotional. I am still tired but thats pretty much a norm for me, i was diagnosed as hypoglycemic a year ago, but now shes not so sure if it is that or was jus by body trying to give me signs that something was wrong. Thanks for all your help!! :D

      If you're ever in the Peoria IL area - Queen of Squash is 100% gluten-free.   Pekin (just outside Peoria) Whiskey Taco is 90% gluten-free.  The owner's mom is Celiac so they get it!   Just let your server know.   https://thequeenofsquash.com/ https://whiskey-taco.com/

      Do you have online access to your celiac panel test results such that you could post them? tTG-IGG is kind of a secondary test. A weak positive in that one could indicate celiac disease but since it isn't as specific a marker as the tTG-IGA it is not real convincing. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) for which there is no test. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. It is 10x more common than celiac disease and shares many of the same symptoms. Some experts believe it can be a precursor to celiac disease. The antidote for both is the same: total avoidance of gluten.

      I haven't been on this forum for a long time, but it was absolutely wonderful during the diagnostic process!  My path for celiac disease diagnosis was the following: -Had normal IgA level, and my only serology positive test was the DGP IgG -Deficiencies in both Vitamins D and K that did not increase at first despite massive supplementation -Diagnosis of fat malabsorption both total and neutral -Diagnosis of severe exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) -Testing was completed to rule out causes of EPI, and the only one not ruled out was celiac. -Both traditional endoscopy and pill capsule endoscopy yielded negative results for biopsy confirmation, but my GI doctor said that both procedures simply could have missed the damaged spots. -EPI and fat malabsorption resolved after taking Creon for 6 months since my EPI was caused by celiac -23 and Me said I don't have either of the two prominent genes for celiac disease   Remember that you might not have 'textbook' symptoms, but you still may have celiac disease.   Also, I am SO incredibly grateful for this site for all the learning it has allowed me to do. I have a senior dog, and these last few weeks with her were very scary! After two hospital stays, she finally received an IBD diagnosis after having gastroenteritis and pancreatitis. I know that celiac disease is not IBD, however, through reading this site, I learned more about it. I was relieved when I found out she had IBD and not cancer this past Wednesday. I know IBD can be managed thanks to what I've learned here!  So celiac.com, not only did you help me, but you helped my pup too! Thank you ❤️

      It was tTG IGG that was flagged high. I'm not sure about the other stuff. I'm still eating my normal stuff.

      Thank you for your post, @Nedast, and welcome to the forum. It is interesting to read of your experiences. Although I've not had TMJ, from time to time I have had a bit of mild pain in my jaw, sharp stabbing pains and tingling in my face which appears to have been caused by issues with my trigeminal nerve.  I read that sometimes a damaged trigeminal nerve in coeliacs can heal after adopting a gluten free diet.  I try to keep out of cold winds or wear a scarf over my face when it is cold and windy, those conditions tend to be my 'trigger' but I do think that staying clear of gluten has helped.  Also, sleeping with a rolled up towel under my neck is a tip I picked up online, again, that seems to bring benefits. Thank you again for your input - living with this sort of pain can be very hard, so it is good to be able to share advice.
