2Nd Doctor Trip,celiac Symptoms Again Need Opinions

Hello all, Im going back again to doctors Friday after another episode need opinions. I was doing pretty good since my last body episode right after Xmas.The only symptom I retained was neck tension and shoulder tension.My cold feet,shortness of breath and heart palpatations were gone.I only had an actually head cold that's about it.Then this Friday I ate a huge plate of spaghetti. About an hour later I crashed hard,became really really tired and fell asleep.Saturday I woke up but had a bad sleep, felt nervous feeling while sleeping.I then noticed I had cold hands and feet plus ear ache and muscle tension but worse.I also noticed my hips. Hurt,butt muscles ached,and my ache under left ribs was back. So I didn't do much Saturday or Sunday and took Monday off cuz I was tired again and constipated.Today my feet weren't as cold or hands, and only this morning i had shortness of breath which cleared up after pounding down water and fruit.I also had more strength today not as tired.It seems to me ( this is my opinion), that everytime I back off gluten and then reingest its 10 times worse?? Make sense? Also how long should it take for my vile to heal so my muscle tension would go away or deminish ? If this is celiac my god how bad have some of your reactions been? Are mine worse than normal? I'm going back to docs Friday I need to know whats going on! Sooooo many tests all neg so far

Have you had celiac testing done? Thyroid testing? not just a TSH for thyroid!

I had the thyroid tests t-4 and tsh apparently both normal ? Ill be asking for my physical results(paperwork Friday) .Also iron and vitamin deficiencies however not sure which ones? Same for red blood cell,white blood cell, urine test for liver, and diabetes.They also checked me with camera down my throat and nothing. Symptoms I've always had since my teens was either constipation,or overdrive like going excessively.Heart burn A lot!! Since my 20's always had tums or Rolaids.And for the past 7 years or more random left ear ache.And heart palpatations. I've had stomach specalists check me , heart specalists running EKG and sonogram.Mris of spine and shoulder ,numerous X-rays .So much blood work, ENT specalist etc.I seem to have chronic sinus inflammation.I had allergy testing ( soy,hazzlenut,peanuts,pollen,dust mites,pollen,apples) I also had a gluten test done ( not celiac) came back negative. Can I ask you how long your symptoms last when you ingest gluten? Days/hours /week? And are they severe like mine above?

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this—chronic neuropathic or nociplastic pain can be incredibly frustrating, especially when testing shows no nerve damage. It’s important to clarify for readers that this type of central sensitization pain is not the same thing as ongoing gluten exposure, particularly when labs, biopsy, and nutritional status are normal....

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      There is no credible scientific evidence that standard water filters contain gluten or pose a gluten exposure risk. Gluten is a food protein from wheat, barley, or rye—it is not used in activated carbon filtration in any meaningful way, and refrigerator or pitcher filters are not designed with food-based binders that would leach gluten into water. AI-generated s...

      Water filters are a potential problem for Celiac Disease

      Bottled water, filtered water, distilled water, and products like Gatorade are naturally gluten-free and do not contain gluten unless contaminated during manufacturing, which would be highly unlikely and subject to labeling laws. Gluten is a protein from wheat, barley, or rye—it is not present in water, minerals, plastics, phosphates, bicarbonate, or electrolytes. ...

      Water does not contain gluten--bottled water included. This is an official warning that you'll receive a warning if you continue to push this idea. Gatorade is naturally gluten-free as well, and it's purified water does not include gluten. You can see all sort of junk on the Internet--that does not mean it is true.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      An interesting note (though not something that I recommend) is that in the last couple of winters before this one, I drank tons of alcohol because I found it reveresed the pain substantially. It seemed it muted it, then I stopped worrying about it, and so on, so that it was reversing the sensitization cycle. I mean, strong alcohol. Not a few beers. Talking...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this—chronic neuropathic or nociplastic pain can be incredibly frustrating, especially when testing shows no nerve damage. It’s important to clarify for readers that this type of central sensitization pain is not the same thing as ongoing gluten exposure, particularly when labs, biopsy, and nutritional status are normal. A stocking/glove pattern with normal nerve density points toward a pain-processing disorder rather than active celiac-related injury. Alcohol temporarily dampening symptoms likely reflects its central nervous system depressant effects, not treatment of an underlying gluten issue—and high-dose alcohol is dangerous and not a safe or sustainable strategy. Seeing a pain specialist is absolutely the right next step, and we encourage members to work closely with neurology and pain management rather than assuming hidden gluten exposure when objective testing does not support it.

Gluten is a food protein from wheat, barley, or rye—it is not used in activated carbon filtration in any meaningful way, and refrigerator or pitcher filters are not designed with food-based binders that would leach gluten into water. AI-generated search summaries are not authoritative sources, and they often speculate without documentation. Major manufacturers design filters for water purification, not food processing, and gluten contamination from a water filter would be extraordinarily unlikely. For people with celiac disease, properly functioning municipal, bottled, filtered, or distilled water is considered gluten-free.

Gluten is a protein from wheat, barley, or rye—it is not present in water, minerals, plastics, phosphates, bicarbonate, or electrolytes. Refrigerator filters and reverse osmosis systems are not sources of gluten, and there is no credible scientific evidence that distilled or purified water triggers celiac reactions. If someone experiences symptoms after drinking a specific product, it is far more likely due to individual sensitivities, anxiety around exposure, or unrelated health factors—not gluten in water.

It seemed it muted it, then I stopped worrying about it, and so on, so that it was reversing the sensitization cycle. I mean, strong alcohol. Not a few beers. Talking 25% ABV stuff and well beyond any limit anyone has ever seen. Yes, bad for other reasons. But it was interesting, that even after stopping the alcohol (which I could do overnight, for some reason I don't get dependent) the nerve pain would stay "low" for a while, but then gradually ramp up again to where it was before. Obviously, that's not a long term solution as my liver would probably shrivel up and I'd go broke. So the pain clinic hopefully finds a better way to desensitize the condition.
