Hi folks, new on the forum but have been diagnosed with celiac disease, biopsy & blood tests. I have been gluten-free for about a week now and feel a very slight improvement although my consultant told me I have quite severe damage to stomach lining and surrounding areas...since going gluten free I have been experiencing some quite weird symptoms, forgetfulness, shaking right hand, cramp, sore neck & with helping my 10 yr old to do his school homework an inability to even do simple arithmetic....this was the worst feeling as I am very good at Maths.

Has anyone came across this before.

Thanks,

bigscott

Aye Yours.

I'm just guessing here but if you had severe damage to the villi in your small bowel, then your physical condition is possibly still deteriorating because one week is not enough time to heal significantly and start restoring all the nutrients your body is missing. I had the brain fog and muscle and joint aches and pains for week and weeks and weeks.

If these conditions continue to get worse, though, I'd see your doctor.

:D hi big scott and welcome-----i too now realize i had symtoms such as yours--at the time i didnt relate it to celiacs--i read things in here and i think--wow, that was me---after going gluten-free, for months i had terrbile hip pain at night--it would even become a part of my dreams--whatever i was dreaming about, i would be in tears from the hip pain and i would wake up in tears hurting so bad--from what i read in here, it sounds normal for recovering celiacs to go through these little quirks---now whenever i forget something i tell my man its the celiacs fault ;) there has to be some pluses to having this disease ;) i promise, in time you will start feeling better :rolleyes:

Thanks Deb,

I'm still trying to take all of this in...up until 2 years ago I was the fittest guy on the planet and a soccer coach, although I coach twice weekly it takes an awful lot out of me and at times trying to explain to others what it feels like also takes it out of me...It just got to the stage I kept it to myself for fear of sounding like a whinge who was always complaining.

I am glad now that I can focus and look forward to improve things and it has helped reading other peoples experiences.

Thanks a lot,

Aye Yours

BS ;)

      Thank you and I am aware that I should be eating a "normal" diet until tested it's kind of been trial and error for my diet or more like just ERROR! I about 1-3 bites a meal I'm to a point that 99 percent of the time I'm having trouble swallowing just about everything occasionally I find either something or a very small window of time that allows me to get very little of something! I am basically getting zero nutrition what so ever because I take one bite of the meal that I usually just slaved over just to end up tossing it when it's all said and done...did anyone else ever experience anything like this?  I am more then open to suggestions! It is taking a very extreme toll on me and my body forsure

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.
