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!

      New Data on Used Oats

      Thoughtful article. For me the most valuable element of this article is the discussion of IELs. We have many posts on celiac.com from people who have all the symptoms of celiac disease but whose biopsies show no other irregularity than IELs. Perhaps we should be taking that more seriously.

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it.

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose i...

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have...

Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.

I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!
