Stumbling Over Words When Glutened?

I think that it's possible I may be been glutened. Yesterday, I got a low grade fever of about 100, a headache, and started stumbling over my words. Today, I still have a headache and am still occasionally tripping over my words. (not normal for me, as I normally talk a lot and don't stutter)

 

My husband thinks that it's just me being tired or sick and has nothing to do with gluten.

 

I got a lot of sleep last night though and am still having occasional trouble getting words out. Last night when I started tripping over my words, I started thinking back to my TIA, but this time, no numbness followed, so it wouldn't be another TIA.

 

Anybody have speech troubles when glutened?

.  I think maybe my tongue swells up.  I also bite the inside of my cheeks.  I think this causes me to talk with difficulty and I have begun to suspect these are linked with my gluten/other intolerance problems.

I have terrible speech patterns after a glutening.  Hell, I haven't gotten rid of my brain fog yet and it's been four months.  My speech gets all jumbled, I talk dyslexic.  Usually it's just mixing my words up as I am talking, but sometimes it sounds like I need a bib to catch my drool and I am going to start licking windows and I am mixing up my letters in the words.  Then I get frustrated because I can't talk and then it gets worse. This gets better, right?

My speech has gotten better and my temp dropped, but I still have a headache. Really, really hoping that it goes away ASAP. I really don't need any neurological troubles right now. I'm going to have to modify my kids' gluten challenge.

I just can't take unnecessary risks, with my history!

 

No more gluten in my house. My kids can eat bags of glutenous chips on the lawn and then wash their hands and faces before coming inside. Or I can take them out for bean burritos at Taco Bell.

Hoping things go ok Ruth. Good thing the weather is good and the kids can sit outside to eat.  Good luck and hope you start feeling better.

The last time I was accidently glutened, it was not pretty. I was happily off that mess for  2months and after a very  busy  and chaotic day, hubby and I decided to go out for a treat. Did we go to the normal place we go that we both know is safe for me to eat nooooooo.  I get the wild hair up my bottom to go to PF Changs during peak period business. In the past, I had a wonderful experience, with the chef and GM both not only being helpful at  having a safe and  great experience, they showed me what to look for and send back, in the event of a screw up.  They showed me the diff in the tofu texture to other thing such as sauce coloring.  So yea I felt a bit safer due to that previous experience. But within 45 min to an hour holy mother, nausiated, and sick to my stomach and  weeping while dashing to the bathroom with in an hour and half laterish.  the next day  the real dance party for me hit, I went to the store and that wasn't that bad, I take my time and screen everything, but when I got home, it got good.  Poor hubby  later comes into my office area, as I am working on my coding practice and states sweety??? where do the frozen foods go?? I was like umm the freezer. Well it didn't go to the freezer It went in the fridge, my almond milk whent in the freezer and other bizarities. As for stumbling words guilty as charged. I do hate brain fog with a passion as my job demands me to be veryr quick minded and it sucks when that rolls in.

I hope you get to feeling better and soon..

I certainly experience this combination of symptoms when glutened, as well as stumbling over words, phrasing, pronunciation.  All very frustrating!  The saving grace is that I now know that I have celiac disease; before, I thought I was losing intelligence daily.

Yes! I experienced this for years before dx, and get it when CC'd with brain fog.

 

I have trouble recalling words, mix words with each other (ie: routinely get laundry and recycling reversed), and interchange sounds "heckle past a frare" for a "freckle past a hair".

 

The problems with word recall subside as fatigue an brain fog disappears, but the word swapping can last quite a while. I also tend to trail off while talking mid sentence when I'm glutened. This annoys my hubby to all hell.

 

I'm generally very articulate and work in communications, so this is really frustrating!

      My only proof

      By NanceK · Posted

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!

      Is this celiac?

      By trents · Posted

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.
