Hi all,

I've been gluten-free for 5 days now and I'm feeling worse, Sinuses are clogged and I'm more tired. I'm hoping this is the bad before the good. Anyone else experience this? Also , I have sores inside my nostrils, is this common with celiac?

thx

Hmm, haven't heard of sores in the nose before... I will say 5 days is really not long enough to notice any difference for some people. I became more tired after going gluten-free for a while. What are your symptoms? Are you sure you are 100% gluten-free. It is common to miss things in the beginning--have you cked products such as shampoo, lotion etc in addition to food? What types of food are you eating?

Okay, just looked at your other posts. You said gas is your only GI symptom? Were you self-diagnosed or otherwise? Just trying to get some background :)

Hi Jen,

No real GI symptoms other than gas. Self diagnosed.

I don't know if it relates at all, as I haven't heard of the type of sores you describe, but have you looked into yeast overgrowth? The sinus conditions might indicate this also. Try a search on the board for that. You might relate to what others have experienced.

      Why Celiac Diagnosis Still Takes Years—and How to Change That

      Withholding the treatment (strict gluten-free diet) until the very end to me is the biggest obstacle to getting more people "identified" with gluten intolerance/Celiac. The strict gluten-free diet in my opinion is both the effective treatment and also a valuable diagnostic tool. My personal advice would be to go on a properly administered gluten-free diet...

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      I don't recall seeing "many people here recommending RO water," but reverse osmosis (RO) water is water that has been purified by forcing it through a very fine membrane that removes dissolved salts, heavy metals, fluoride, nitrates, PFAS, and many other contaminants. It is one of the most thorough household filtration methods available and can be especially...

      What would you do - neighbor brought gluten-free pizza from Papa Murphy's

      With the wide availability of frozen prepared gluten-free pizzas, for example DiGiorno's, it's probably best to avoid the risk of eating pizza in restaurants that also make regular pizza.

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I don't recall seeing "many people here recommending RO water," but reverse osmosis (RO) water is water that has been purified by forcing it through a very fine membrane that removes dissolved salts, heavy metals, fluoride, nitrates, PFAS, and many other contaminants. It is one of the most thorough household filtration methods available and can be especially beneficial in areas with well water or known contamination concerns. While RO systems also remove beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium and may produce slightly “flat”-tasting water, most dietary minerals come from food rather than drinking water, so this is not usually a health concern for most people. Overall, RO water is very clean and safe to drink, and it can be a smart option where water quality is questionable, though it may not be necessary in areas with well-tested municipal water.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will only add that one should never do 50k IU daily of vitamin D without being advised to do so by your doctor, and only if they are closely monitoring your vitamin D levels over the time you are doing this.
