Dizziness

[Rhonlynn]

Hi. I am 55 years old and have several allergies. I got yet another sinus infection in January, which went into bronchitis that I had to have a chest X-ray. They thought it was pneumonia. I could only eat toast and one day I ate 4 pieces. I was antibiotics and Symbicort and Albuterol plus prednisone. I thought I had too much bread and thought my lungs felt like glue. So I took myself off of Gluten, and finally got over bronchitis. I have asthma, low D levels and am allergic to casein in milk, eggs, blah blah blah. I stayed off of gluten 90-100% for 3 weeks. Last week I didn’t think anything about it and cook regular spaghetti. Boom! I got the exact same head, dizziness sick feeling I get when I’m dumb enough to drink a milkshake. Only I stayed dizzy for a while. So a couple days ago, again we had spaghetti and it happened again! Here’s the thing...I went to Olive Garden yesterday, ate gluten free pasta, and felt normal. 

Me without gluten, I feel light, my head is clear, I feel good. Better than I’ve felt in a long time.  But I only  started this on January 29th. So today, work had pasta catered and there was meatballs separate so I ate a few and 15 minutes later...guess what? Normally I’d go to the doctor but when I first mentioned gluten 3 years ago, I had a doctor blow me off.”Well don’t eat it then” shrugged her shoulders, and she’s not my doctor any more. My family on the other hand, “ mom would you get out of this phase? I hate gluten free.”  Well, I’m afraid it’s not a phase. If gluten is going to do this, I’m done.  I’m a nurse I know how the immune system works but this resembles food poisoning. If I hadn’t cut off gluten, could I keep going like I was? Wow.

Well a gluten challenge and a a formal diagnosis might be what you looking for. You have to be eating it for 12 weeks though to get the antibodies up, commonly refereed to as a gluten challenge, not much just about a half slice a bread a day or some members found taking a tsp of vital wheat gluten before bed was manageable.
