Hi. Some update on me. I do feel better since started Lexapro,no issues with BM and less GI problems. I’m taking the lowest dose of Lexapro which is 5mg every night. I do have this weird feeling of pressure in my ears on and off. When I was diagnosed with celiac disease I had ringing in my ears because of anemia and low ferritin but now it’s different it’s more like pressure. I do follow gluten-free diet and overall feel better. Can’t understand if it’s Lexapro side effects or something else. It’s like deep In my both ears sometimes like mild pain. And what I also noticed my blood pressure dropped after gluten-free diet. It used to be 115-80 now it’s constantly 99/80.Did anyone else experience that with ear pressure and blood pressure?

thank you 

Saba

My ear pressure was due to dairy products.  I had to give up dairy.

hi, saba, i'm glad you're doing better!  i have ear pressure if the wind blows, lolz, if i am in the car, a change in elevation will make my ears go crazy.   also, change in barometric pressure (weather changes) and airplanes.  try chewing gum?  might help with pressure - that's what they tell you to do on the airplane.  i know double bubble is gluten-free for sure.  plus, i love bubble gum lolz

Hi Arlene,how are you ?:) it’s something new,I feel like pressure in my head and ears on and off. Maybe it’s because of the Lexapro. It’s been more than a month. You know it says that SSRI medication start to work after 4-6 weeks,maybe I’ve just started to develop side effects also feel fatigue

      Eating gluten before blood test

      By trents · Posted

      Understood. And don't beat yourself up about this. Many are in the same boat as you, having experimented with the gluten-free diet before getting formerly tested. It is a logical, common sense approach when you don't have the knowledge about how testing works or you don't have the healthcare resources to afford testing. And some experience such severe reactions to gluten that it is impossible to get through the gluten challenge in order to get tested. So, they must live with the ambiguity of not knowing for sure if they suffer from celiac disease or NCGS. But at the end of the day, the antidote is the same for both. Namely, life-ling abstinence from gluten. Recently there was an article on posted on this forum about the develop of a new testing method for diagnosing celiac disease that do not require a gluten challenge. It is still in the developmental stage and probably years away from becoming main streams even if it pans out. But there is hope at least.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
