Untreated celiac disease can definitely lead to many nervous system issues. In some people it manifests as a brain/nerve disease, and we have many articles on this topic here:

https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/ataxia-nerve-disease-neuropathy-brain-damage-and-celiac-disease/ 

and this article, although it's older, sums it up well:

Yes. As mentioned above by admin it does. In my experience my short term memory got thrown off. Sometimes focus as well. Mind drifted more easily. I would have to turn around at end of block to check if I closed the garage door. I just left from. Our garage  repairman actually put in a delay for me last time he was out. I have to hit the garage door button twice to close. It helps me. 

That was a reoccurring problem I had when undiagnosed at my last home. Also, one that re occured at this home during and after my gluten challenge.

This is one example I can think of. My long term doesn't seem to struggle as much, but I am told my long term is very good from people who know me.

Absolutely. I have this bad habit of talking to myself that started when I was a kid and never really stopped. I think it was my coping mechanism for the brain fog. I don't have short term memory loss but I got bullied a lot and thought I was crazy until I admitted that I talked to myself to someone and they were like "dude everyone does that, it's only crazy if someone answers"

notme Experienced

yes, I have experienced this - didn't realize I was compensating for my memory by tricking myself - like:  when I see this, i'm going to remember to bring the post office keys when I go out.

I still do it, but not as much.  writing stuff down helps, too.  lists help also, as long as you remember to take it with you!!  lolz  :D

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
