@EvieJean Im sorry you’re going through that. I also find it frustrating to navigate different medications.

- xxnonamexx posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms0Gluten Free Sugar or Starch known to increase gas?
I noticed when eating some gluten-free foods I get increase of gas. I read it can be due to starches or sugar. But is there a particular name of the sugar or starch known to cause increase of gas to look in the ingredients to avoid. Thanks

Hi @EvieJean I was delighted to read @hjayne19's comments about A LIfe at Last as the book definitely helped me to understand how anxiety works. You may be suffering from vitamin and mineral deficiencies which will can contribute to and even cause anxiety. Have you had any tests done? If you have and 'normal' results , do take a second look at the levels. Low normal, for instance, in iron and B12, may still be causing you anxiety, so you may need to consider supplementation. (If you do this, best talk to your GP, particularly regarding iron, as it needs regular monitoring. - too much in the blood can be dangerous) When I was first diagnosed, my GP was happy when my ferritin levels were c. 11 n/gL (just on the cusp of our local normal lab readings) whereas a consultant I saw some months later for continuing mouth issues said, 'Far too low! and told me my levels should at least be at 40. Another example is B12 - in some countries a reading of 500 is considered the start of normal levels, in the UK normal range starts at 180 n/gL. I feel much better when my B12 is at a higher level. If you are feeling depressed and generally stressed I'd also consider reading Dr Steve Llardi's book The Depression Cure which aims to address these issues with physical exercise, omega-3 fatty acids, natural sunlight exposure, restorative sleep and social connectedness. I have given this book to many people who found it helpful, and a relative of mine who is a doctor thinks it is fantastic. The run up to my diagnosis and for some time afterwards I had terrible brain fog, insomnia and intrusive thoughts. In time, with the supplementation, and also the above books, I did feel so much better. I really hope that you can find some help with the above, and remember, try to keep your diet as gluten free as you can. Also, please come back to us if you have any further questions. Cristiana

@EvieJean Im sorry you’re going through that. I also find it frustrating to navigate different medications. However, it sounds like you have some bad anxiety - I went through and am going through the same thing. One of the posts in this chain recommended a book to me called “a Life at Last” by Paul David. I can honestly say it changed my life. Once you stop trying to think and fix your way out of anxiety it can bring a lot of peace. I found by taking these methods and suggestions into my daily life it did in fact improve my sleep! I also did a full blood panel and found my vitamin d was on the lower end. So currently taking vitamin d and feeling alot better. It sounds like you’ve had repeated gluten exposure so your gut may be delayed in healing. I’m no expert by any means but I really suggest reading the book and hopefully it’s a start! @EvieJean Im sorry you’re going through that.

Yes I am going through that I fall asleep for a few hours than I’m up all night and I’ve lost so much weight I look like a skeleton the brain fog is causing me to think I have the start of dementia, I started taken Aleve am & pm but just read it contains gluten & I’m having trouble finding gluten-free over the counter med for sciatica I also get knee shots every 6 months & I'm being to think they might be triggering flare up’s this is a tough road to walk..I also have to care for my 95 year old mother who doesn’t understand what I’m dealing with & she’s in physically bad shape & is refusing home health care, my stress level is over the top so my dr. Gave me Alprazolam for my anxiety & I just read about it could be contaminated with gluten..I’m at my wits end
