I don't usually post here, but would like to share some information about the wide ranging neurological problems associated with gluten sensitvity...with or without celiac disease. Check out Post #3. If anybody seems to fall into this category..please consider stopping by the Braintalk Gluten Sensitivity forum where we have an increased interest in the neurological aspects of gluten sensitivity.

Cara,

Welcome to the neighborhood. I can second your suggestion to visit the link you listed, particularly for those with neurological presentations and/or for those of us who don't have DQ2 or 8, but do have DQ1's. The site has lots of info regarding what gluten can do to some people even if they don't have celiac disease. I find that site a very good complement to this site.

You're welcome! As time goes on The Gluten File has become a collaborative effort of many, so I don't want to take all the credit for it, but I truly appreciate your kind words and its nice to know the information is making its way around.

The Gluten File began out of pure frustration because although my family looks very much like your average celiac family...we do not have celiac disease...don't even carry the main genes. We are definitely gluten sensitive, though!  I just kept collecting information that I found fascinating...that "fit" and supported our unique presentation...which turns out is not so unique but grossly underrecognized and unacknowledged by most celiac experts.

But,  I have to admit that even I have not read EVERYTHING in The Gluten File! I do think its a great collection of data, though  :P .

If you've been reading Braintalk you probably know my story, but in case anyone else is curious, you can find it second post here:

Anyone who feels so inclined might want to add their own entry, even if you don't have the time to take on an additional forum. I believe we can learn from each others experiences!

I also believe the more forums the merrier...the more people we can reach. What I find rewarding about Braintalk is that it is this huge umbrella forum of hundreds of neurological, neuromuscular, neuropyschiatric diseases...so we can reach so many people with neurological disease who would never in a million years think of gluten as the culprit...especially when it stands alone without any gut evidence of celiac disease.

This seems like a friendly place. I may pop in and read from time to time! We call it 'boarding around'...lol!

Welcome Cara - nice to see you post over here. I can't believe I haven't seen Al pop in yet... :)

Anyway, always good to help more people make connections, especially about non-Celiac gluten intolerance.

Take care!

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      still struggling with cravings

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:
