Terrible Concentration As A Symptom Of Glutening?

Managed to gluten myself yesterday, not hugely - a non-gluten-free cereal bar by a manufacturer who also makes gluten-free ones - and had migraine/muscle pain yesterday. No gastro problems really. But today I can't concentrate AT ALL. I'm trying to read for uni and I feel as though I've been working for hours (I haven't) and need a break. Anyone else get this? (The only other time this happens is if I'm getting sick... I have a race on Sunday and really don't need that!)

So sorry :(

 

Yes, I get a very particular kind of brain fog from accidental gluten.

 

Drink lots of water.  I do hope you'll feel better tomorrow....if nothing else maybe the run will help sweat it out!

 

Extra water, nettle tea, activated charcoal and digestive enzymes have helped us shorten the length of symptoms of accidental glutening here...but I'm hopeful your symptoms will be short lived.

 

Good luck tomorrow :)

Yes - this is typical for me too. I also get super tired and my thoughts and words don't get translated in a coherent fashion. ((Hugs)) and hope this passes quickly.

Thanks guys. I'm actually glad this is more likely due to gluten than a cold as it'll be gone before the race (which is a week tomorrow - communication skills also zero!). I'm glad my flatmates are away just now as I think all my words would come out as BLAHHHH! with no logical order... Just off to hunt down some nettle tea and squash to help the water down!

I did similar today with some chips. A couple of hours later I was hit with the worst kind of tired in the world and wanted my house completely quiet. Can't even complete a thought.

Hope you feel better so very quickly! Lots of water also helps me!

Yep - the one time I got glutened I tried to go to work the next day and was in a meeting and realized I couldn't track any of the conversation and couldn't put my words together coherently.  It only lasted for that day but it was pretty scary.

Yep! With a severe glutening I have trouble concentrating, including following conversations, and have trouble finding words. It is as if I have lost my vocabulary.

I hope you feel better soon. Good luck with your race!

I have ADD lol I cannot concentrate unless I am super interested! My hubbs has a habit of telling long drawn out stories and then the voice of charlie Browns teacher starts to jump in. I have to force my self to stop and listen. 

I hope I never get Glutened to find out if it will be worse! 

Good luck with your race! :) feel better!

I get the brain fog thing too... I can't focus and I walk into things, so many bruises on top of being glutened!

I find lots and lots of sleep/rest really helps.

Good luck on your race!!

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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!
