Hi,

My Name is Lauren and I have to write a research paper for Biology. I chose to do Celiac Disease because i have and have had it for 10 years. I need a question that I can research that has little information and that will give me a good topic. If anyone has any ideas it would be much appriciated. Thank you!

How about, "The effects of gluten on the brain". I think this would be a very interesting topic.

The brain fog is really a major issue that isn't addressed much. I would expect that those of us that drive with it are likely impaired even though there wouldn't be a test such as acohol level testing. I also get the shakes along with the brain fog, and have at least once scared myself driving enough to pull into a garage and call my husband to come and get both me and the van. Keeping in mind that I was 20 miles from home at the time on a fairly high speed highway.

I for one, would like to know how something as common as gluten could cause such drastic changes in the thought process. :rolleyes:

Brain fog gets my vote. The brain fog would be unbelievably crippling for me.

I'm with you on that one! I don't trust myself to drive when I get brain fog.

Another vote for brain fog. It's the first sign that I've had gluten/casein (kicks in within 10 minutes), and it is the longest lasting - about 6 days. It really is incredibly debilitating. Before I knew about my gluten problem, I used to just tell people I had days where I felt 'underwater'.

for those of you who get brain fogs could you please discribe them and tell me all that you know about them so i have a few different things to search in metacrawler.

Much Thanks

When I have brain fog I feel impaired, like I am being partially sedated or something. I also get really stupid and forgetful. And I feel like I am in "LaLa land". Hopefully someone can relate to that ;)

It is like an out-of-body experience. I can see and hear everything going on around me but I cannot connect or respond to any of it. Another description is like having my head wrapped in an airtight box. Nothing can get in or out.

i am just in biology at school and she wants us to do some thing with life so both subjects would have to do with life. so idon't think it really matters just as long as i have my question turned in by tomorrow.

With brain fog, concentration is almost impossible. Which is what makes it difficult to drive. I find I have to really try hard to concentrate just to figure out where I am, let alone what the traffic is doing. Very scary when you have an hours drive either home or to town.

My hands are shaky and you look at something and try to figure out what it is, and what you were going to do with it. It sounds funny :lol: But it really can get very scary. And it is everytime I get glutenized. My daughter has the same problems with driving. She is of course, also Celiac.

Brainfog is one of my worst symptoms. With brainfog I cant focus on anything. My thoughts leave my mind quickly and then I cant remember what I was thinking. I feel spaced out like I'm not really "all there". Driving is difficult and I get confused easily...have ran red lights before...not responding fast enough like my brain didnt get the message to stop. If someone is in the car with me I find that I cant drive and talk at the same time. With brainfog its hard for me to focus on one thing let alone 2...simple things like driving and having a conversation are lost to me if I have brainfog.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      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.
