Brain Fog

I was dx with Celiac about a year ago and I have just found some articles that relate Celiac to Brain Fog, Memory, Neurological and Cognitive conditions. I have no issues with being depressed or anxious, but I kept telling all my doctors it was something more. I've been thinking I'm going crazy, had a brain tumor or was getting MS.....it was THAT bad. Has anyone else had any symptoms like this or can provide insight? I've just kept saying there has to be a common denominator and silly me I think this might be it.

Welcome to the forum! 

Yep, celiac disease can affect your brain!  In my case, celiac disease, perimenopause, and an unstable thyroid (Hashimoto's)  made me kind of crazy!   I had been a fairly intelligent person, but all that seemed to diminish with my illness.  I am happy to report that I have both  physically and mentally improved but it took about two years of eating gluten free and healing.    Still.....I am not helping my kid with her math homework (engineer hubby handles that), but I can review her English and Spanish!  I feel like I got some of my marbles back!  :)

Maybe you just need some more time to heal.  If it is really bothering you, check with your doctor.   You can develop additional autoimmune disorders.  Plenty of us have two, three or four autoimmune disorders on this forum.

Absolutely a connection between celiac and brain fog-  problem for me is that I have been off gluten for over three months and I still have lots of brain fog that gets really severe soon after eating. I'm careful with my gluten free diet- but maybe not careful enough... My thoughts are that I'm having other food sensitivities that are also causing the brain fog now.

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.
