Symptoms Of Glutened?

Hello all!

 

So i have been gluten free for about four weeks now and I have a few questions.

I have managed to only Gluten myself about three times.

 

When I do eat gluten, I notice that:

1. Sharp Headache

2. Extreme Hunger for the rest of the day sometimes two days. I could literally eat the fridge. It's like nothing I eat makes me feel full. 

3. Slight Bloated feeling. Facial bloating. 

4. Lethargic feeling  

 

Is this normal? Many of the symptoms posts I find mention a lot of cramping and bowel discomfort, which I don't really experience

 

Yes I have been tested and have Celiacs. .

 

Any confirmation of these symptoms would be great. Thanks :)

Not everyone gets the "classic" symptoms. My most prevalent symptom was psoriasis. Then I found out that my life-long insomnia was a symptom. AND my headaches, AND my frequent hiccups, AND the swelling in my feet. And brain fog? I thought it was the first signs of Alzheimers.

 

Now if I get glutened, I WILL get digestive symptoms. On TOP of all the rest. :angry:

I am still waiting for official diagnosis on Celiac or wheat allergy. However I did want to mention when I first started looking for what was wrong regarding the facial swelling I found this "oral facial allergy syndrome". This gave information on possibly 2 allergies going at one time allergist so far in agreement. I have this week taken dairy out of my diet, as well as wheat and what a difference! Lethargic oh my yes I have that , I also will not eat unless food is put in front of me for years never hungry, but then it is like I can not get enough. Feel as if I am running on empty as I told my Doctor. She will be checking me for thyroid, as well as vitamins, Iron. So far I am extremely low on sodium, Vit D and Potassium.

I glutened myself once at Taco Bell, I couldn't believe how bad I felt! I was sick to my stomach, I felt like I was drunk, I layed on the floor and couldn't hardly move! OMG It was horrid! Then the Brain Fog , and the No energy, I only notice where my cheek bone are , it kinda swells there. But Ohhh my!! I can not believe! How horrid it make me feel!!

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
