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!

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.
