After 3.5 mo. on gluten free diet I've been struggling a series of issues.   All blood work for vitamins and minerals are in range and my kidney is functioning properly.

But I'm getting very lightheaded/vertigo at times...gets worse while driving (even after having a snack).   I'm also having muscle twitching, stomach cramping, acid reflux (I think), and heart palpitations.    None of these issues have lessen as I've gone gluten-free.  In fact they seem to get getting worse/more refrequent for me.

Even though blood work are all in range,  I still take one Multivitamin, a B complex, and a magnesium pill.   All my blood tests were taken when I was off these pills for almost 2 wks.

So I'm will to travel anywhere in Orange County or San Diego County to talk to a celiac post diagnosis doctor.  Can anyone recommend one that deals with post diagnosis issues?    Thx.

Sheila Crowe at UCSD, head of their Celiac Center.  She also cowrote the book Celiac Disease for Dummies, which says that if you're still having problems after going gluten free, the doctor needs to keep looking.  I find the people who schedule the appointments there a bit obnoxious, but Dr. Crowe is very nice.

She is now the head of the American GI Association.  Not sure if she is able to take new patients.  But she would be a great doctor to see!

I think a consult with a Celiac-Savvy dietician would be helpful.  I think Texas Jen recently visited one at UCLA and found it very worthwhile.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
