It's The Brain Fog

Well everyone, I have done it again! This time, I pinned spam here on the board. Yep, I read it, and just went ahead and did it without it even registering. Just yesterday, my husband and I were shopping, and I had so much trouble understanding a somewhat complicated transaction (a return/discount/account opening/re-purchase) that I embarassed myself. By the time the whole thing was completed, I was sweating and said to my husband--could I have been any stupider? I mean, I know I should have followed the whole thing--we're not talking rocket science here--but it just lost me. So, I say to all of you reading the board today, I'm sorry--I dropped the ball. Ever since my last gluten CC reaction 3 weeks ago, I am having a tough time snapping back--both physicaly and mentaly :( .

It happens... can you unpin it? I do not know what powers Scott gives out to his moderators, but I think ifyou can pin you can unpin with IPB.

Patti, please look at it in context! No harm is done. I have done far far worse things when glutened, like telling my boss the truth! (anyone else done this?)

Lets step back an I'll tell you how I nearly killed myself ....

So I walk out and leave my keys and the door is an enormous secutiry door. So instead of the sensible thing (breaking a small window on my back entrance or asking my neighbours to climb off thier balcony onto mine) I can't cope with talking to people so I climb around the outside of the 5th floor building on a 2" ledge ...

Of course just at the point of no return I get scared and Im stuck there for 1 hour!

All of this to avoid having to talk to someone!

Now what was the problem again? It will look a lot smaller when you are feeling better, ask your DH for a cuddle!

Okay, I think you win gfp. But I do understand why you did that. That brain fog is really horrible and insidious. I'm coming off of a glutening myself. When glutened, I avoid people to the point that I don't even come here! And this is a safe zone!

      I wonder how many doctors are aware of this site and would or should recommend it to their patients?

      I just got my test results after a less than 2-week gluten challenge consuming about 5 g of gluten per day on average.  Anti tTG-IgA: <0.2 AU/ml (<8 is negative) IgA: 180 mg/dl (Reference range is 70-400) I previously had been on a gluten-free diet for around 3 years or so, with occasional cheating and not being strict about cross-contamination. I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches). Is this likely to be NCGS rather than celiac disease given the test results and my history? Note: I have one copy of HLA-DQ8.

      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time.

      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.

      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?
