Continuation of article about Gluten Ataxia

[Yvonne (Vonnie) Mostat, RN]

A WORD FROM VERY WELL HEALTH: “Many people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity also suffer from neurological symptoms, which often include peripheral neuropathy and migraine. Some also complain of balance problems that do seem to resolve once they go gluten-free.”  I AM GLUTEN FREE!  Everyone, including you, and I, can get a very occasional accidental ingestion. In other words, ‘NOT  REALLY YOUR FAULT’, often a not listed gluten, such as candies coated with flour to prevent them sticking together on conveyor belts. We In Canada are not as fortunate as the U.S.A. with regards to “Gluten Free” labeling laws, but the person traveling on holidays to Mexico or other South American Countries that have no listings given at all with regards to what the food source contains.

“It is possible that, as more studies are conducted on gluten ataxia, researchers will find even stronger links between that condition, celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. In the meantime, if you have symptoms and gluten ataxia, talk to your healthcare provider. You may require testing to determine if you have another medical condition that can cause similar symptoms”.

“Can airborne flour make you sick if you are a celiac?” : Inhaled wheat flour can make you very ill because it first goes not only into your esophagus and nose but also passed through your gastro intestinal tract, so baking for the family, even with wearing a mask is “iffy” as I found out to my detriment.  Better to at least try to start with sourdough bread first and see how it affects you. Yeast, as you know, is not truly a friend of the celiac person

 

If you like this article, and want to know more about gluten ataxia, what can occur with fructose malabsorption, how some celiac people are affected by the Cassein in cow’s milk, and research being done on 1,000 year old grains, please comment on this article and my outcome.
