They're not connected. You cannot alleviate dyslexia by going gluten free.

Hmmmm...I thought dyslexia could be improved on a gluten free diet. Maybe not in all cases but I could swear I saw dyslexia as a symptom somewhere. :unsure:

No. Unless the language impairments were a result of being in a peptide induced fog while language was developing...as my son was. He's not dyslexic. I have a friend who's dyslexic, I was an middle school English teacher ( I like to keep that info on the "down-low* as I don't want people "tsking" at my mulitude of mistakes while posting!) I HAVEN'T TAUGHT IN 11 YEARS, PEOPLE!! :lol: Anyway, I've worked with dyslexic children. It's a little more than celiac disease at play.

I doubt that dyslexia is CAUSED by gluten, but I'm sure being glutened isn't exactly helpful to somebody with dyslexia. So, in that sense, I'm sure somebody with dyslexia can think more clearly and do somewhat better on a glutenfree diet, if they are intolerant to gluten.

I have dyscalculia, and there is no doubt that numbers aren't as confusing to me when my mind is working right. I can see a big difference when I have eaten something wrong for me (including gluten) versus eating safe foods.

I think the only way to know is to try the gluten-free diet. I don't know if dyslexia can be caused by gluten, but I think it's entirely possible that if a person is sensitive to gluten, it could make a difficult situation worse.

Personally, I never, EVER would have thought that my chronic pain had anything to do with gluten. I had heard some mention here and there, but nothing specifically like what I was dealing with. But, when I went off gluten, the pain that I was dealing with 24/7/365 vanished. Poof! All gone! It was like someone flipped a switch. When I get glutened, the pain comes back.

I never would have known what a life-changing thing just going gluten-free would be for me if I hadn't just given it a shot. I also did the genetic testing, and I don't have either of the two celiac genes, but have the gluten sensitivity gene. I've seen people on here with the same genetic results as me who have decided that since they don't have celiac, then gluten free isn't an answer for them and they go away without even trying gluten-free.

So, just give it a shot. There's nothing to lose by trying it.

I have dyslexia too, and no other then the normal brain fog stuff, gluten has no impact on it that I have seen.

My daughter has just been dx dyslexic and she is a lot better gluten-free than she was before. She seems able to concentrate more now and has less visual disturbance when reading. We both have terrible short term memory problems, messy bedrooms!, It did actually say on her Assessment ' can be forgetful and her ability to maintain concentration is poor. this may be in part a result of her wheat intolerance; symptoms of attentional difficulties are frequently reported in these cases'.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
