how long did it take for these symptoms to improve?

Hello,

i am new to this site. Was really sick for 15 months. Saw tons of doctors or could not figure it out. Finally saw a naturalpath. He quickly figured it out. Turns out most of my symptoms were from iron deficiency due to wheat intolerance. Ferritin was a 6. I have a few questions.

1. Within one month my levels have gone back to "normal range" but symptoms of iron deficiency still exist. How long did it take for symptoms to go away for others?  Specifically shortness of breath.

2. Fatigue is worse the before diagnosis. Has this happened to others?

3. I have a very hard time driving. Feel exhausted and like I am going to pass out. Hard time focusing. This started when all my symptoms began 15 months ago. Have others had issues with vision? Especially when driving?

currently I am gluten, dairy, egg, peanut and soy free. Going on week 5 of this. Wondering if that is contributing to fatigue?

 

thanks!

There are some very good naturpathic doctors, and some not so good ones.  Have you done some elimination diet work?  Just thinking sometimes taking away too much all at once is awfully hard on the body.   Sorry I don't have any good advice for you, I hope you feel better soon!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese s...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Kirkland brand (at Costco) is gluten-free and is 2,000 IU.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise...

Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
