This is a common celiac disease symptom, are you 100% gluten-free? Do you eat out?

After receiving a gift of gourmet English muffins, I started having severe migraines that lasted for over a month. Because I have a dairy allergy that causes migraines, I looked at what I might have done differently. Because I normally avoid carbs in order to control my weight, I immediately realized I had been consuming gluten. When I eliminated gluten the migraines stopped. Now I am concerned that I will not get accurate test results because I have not consumed gluten for four weeks.

Your concern is a valid one. You should either go back to consuming gluten for 6-8 weeks before being tested or push ahead with the assumption that you wither have celaic disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

I do. Lately, I get a headache about half the days. Mine usually develop it the wee hours of the morning or close to the time when I wake up in the morning. Migraines/headaches are very common in the celiac population. I have penned down some foods that often trigger mine but there are other trigger factors as well for me such as interruption in normal sleep patterns or changes in the weather. I have medication I take after the onset that works well (Sumatriptan) and recently my physician put me on a preventative med called amitriptyline.

I have a headache every day. I have not yet been diagnosed. But I strongly believe I’m positive since my daughter has it. I’m currently being treated for heartburn and see the doctor on May 19th. It sure gets tiresome being sick everyday, doesn’t it? I hope you get it figured out.

I had headaches for days before my Celiac diagnosis. I loved bread. Never knew the connection. Also, some Belgian beers were giving me days-long headaches but I thought it was the yeast or alcohol. All have gluten. Dropped all gluten and that was my first relief! Good luck. It's been 12 years but I remember the pain SO well. My heart breaks for you.

Not getting enough thiamine causes headaches.  

Dietary intake of thiamine and riboflavin in relation to severe headache or migraine: A cross-sectional survey

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36047917/

"We found that high intake of thiamine was significantly associated with lower odds of migraine, especially in females."

And...

B vitamins and their combination could reduce migraine headaches: A randomized double-blind controlled trial

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9860208/

"Conclusion: The results of this study showed that B1, B6, B12, and B9, and a combination of these vitamins could be effective as an adjuvant in treatment and prophylaxis of EM. Further large trials with long-term follow-ups will be required to confirm our results."

 

I used to get several-days-long migraines very frequently.  But since I started taking high dose Thiamine, I haven't had another as bad as those.

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
