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 disease and braces

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free...

      My only proof

      Years ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came...

      Your Complete Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Plan: Recipes, Tips & Holiday Favorites

      Wow what a helpful article!! I am just seeing this now but I hosted a small group of family for Thanksgiving at my house this year and I did some of these things- got a butterball gluten-free turkey, got gluten-free stuffing, had a few gluten-free sides, and a gluten-free nothing-Bundt-cake. I had other non gluten-free things there too for others, and I also...

      celiac disease and braces

      By Anne G · Posted

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      By HAUS · Posted

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By marion wheaton · Posted

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
