No problem! How are you doing? Feeling improvement after going gluten free? For me after about 3 days without bread I can feel the tension headache go away but I'm still having anxiety and panic attacks, but already less severe. I hope some day I'll be in control again. 
I finally understand the bloating and the weight gain. 

If you're type O you are gluten-intolerant by nature. I never knew. Definitely look that up. 

I hope a gluten-free diet will reverse the symptoms. Are you still taking the zoloft? Do you think it helps with the neurological symptoms? I can imagine the gluten-free diet not being that easy on zoloft because of the cravings that come with the pills. I'm planning on going back on them for a little while too, but I'll have to make sure I can resist everything with gluten and refined sugar. 

Best of luck

If I stayed gluten free I could probably come off the Zoloft. When it comes to gluten and sweets I'm like and addict. I didn't even notice gluten was my issues because I am on the Zoloft. It wasn't until I stopped eating gluten %100 for a while then I introduced it back into my diet that noticed how much it makes me panic and anxious. It took me about  a week of no gluten before I started to just feel o.k but it's different for everyone.  Good luck to you.

I second Karen & SSLRunner!

BTW, I am type O & I have never been even remotely fat. In fact, just the opposite. I've always been too skinny! So that shoots the heck out of the type O gets fat theory.

Thank you... 
It's funny how we tend to be addicted to what we are allergic to. But actually it's not funny. If I can avoid high anxiety by giving up food, no problem for me. Gluten is just NOT worth panic attacks. I'd definitely look for other options if I were you... Think about the weight we can lose... how we can feel. There are other gluten-free products out there for people like us.
Also mind you that gluten are hidden in products you wouldn't expect them to be in, potato chips for instance.  
Best of luck

panic attacks and gluten absolutely.I should know I was on benzo for 19 years,doctor wanted to take me off so got tired of the brow beating and gave in.Started getting the dh rash bad when meds were being tapered which actually got me pointed in the right direction of the underlying cause being gluten.I had to advocate for myself,none of the doctors had a clue.I have been without benzo for over a month and after I went gluten free anxiety disappeard big time.I read peoples post in various benzo sites about terrible symptoms monthes after discontinued use and in my opinion it is diet related.Gluten intolerance probably at the root of all the anxiety I have ever suffered.I know anxiety and mental health are real and scary realities of many peoples lives and want to make that crystal clear,I am only speaking for myself and my own experiences.

      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!
