Headaches And Dizzy

For the past 2 days I've had really bad headaches and will sometimes get light headed and dizzy. I feel like I can't concentrate.

Are these symptoms of perhaps having had gluten and not knowing it? I just feel so icky!

For me, these can be symptoms of gluten - but usually only the first day. More often, that is a sign of a migraine for me. If you find you are also light sensitive, that may be the issue. (Though you don't have to have light-sensitivity for that to be the case.)

It might be from gluten, but I have been gluten-free for about 3 mo and been weak, dizzy, and ligh-headed everyday. From what I read on the board a lot of people say this can be gluten withdrawls. But the symptoms get 10x worse when i eat gluten.

I have had headaches as well. I have always thought it has been because I wear glasses or something. I do now believe it is because of gluten. Lately I get headaches, "brain farts" alot, and I get gassy.

Could be gluten...could mean your blood sugar is low... Ever notice anything like that? Like, do your headaches go away after eating for example? Open Original Shared Link

What's your blood pressure? Do you have muscle soreness? I have frequent migraines -- I thought they were because of gluten/casein, but I jsut had a medical massage today. She used trigger poiint therapy and worked on some very tight muscles in my neck and shoulders. On the same point of each side when she would push it would reproduce the headache pain almost exactly. I never ever thought it would be because of tight, knotted up muscles, but that seems to be it. Weird. Anyways, I have low blood pressure, and I would usually get them at night or in the mornings when it was particularly low (and after I had ben sleeping on my side for hours, making those same muscles wacky).

That's funny that this appeared today. My 12 year old son missed school yesterday and was not feeling well Monday with tummy ache, headache, and dizzy. I do feel like he must have got glutened maybe over the Holiday weekend. He feels better today. No fever, no diahrea and no vomiting at any time. I was thinking it might be gluten and then I saw this post. Makes me think it was.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease. 
    • JettaGirl
      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.
