Glutening symptoms


FayeBr

Recommended Posts

FayeBr Apprentice

Hi. Nearly three weeks ago I was glutened. I haven’t done this in a while now. And the symptoms have been pretty awful as you’re all probably aware of. Migraine, pain in neck and shoulders, flu like symptoms, tinnitus, loss of feeling in legs and hands, fatigue, tummy troubles, rashes, brain fog, muscle twitches and lots more. I was expecting to feel a bit better now but I’m still having symptoms nearly three weeks later. I’m flying out on holiday in 2 days and was hoping to be better for that. I’m just wondering if it is normal to last this long for others, and be this intense? I’ve struggled to work and function. I was diagnosed 3 years ago now and can’t remember being this bad for quite some time. Great joy! 😊

Oh and I have MS also and a glutening seems to trigger that too. Numbness in legs. Pins and needles. Struggle to walk etc.Great joy again 😊

It's probably too late for this article, but it may be helpful going forward:

   It sounds like you are super sensitive, so recovery could take several weeks.

The best airline to fly is United. I told them I was Celiac and they gave me a bar of crispy chocolate with no dairy. The worst airline is Swiss Air. First off I had broken my wrist in two places and they threw me off the airline. I had go back to a doctor in Luzerne, Switzerland, to get a permit to fly. Now of course, the Swiss are known for their chocolate and it's filled with cows' milk. They are the rudest, most dishonest airline ever. I have been to Switzerland twice now and will never return. I am also a Type I Diabetic and that will kill you if you don't count carbohydrates. The best granola is "Purely Elizabeth." There are no oats, which I can't have and will never eat oatmeal. These are tiny bits of nuts, not peanuts because they are a legume and they off my list. I don't drink beer because of the barley  and whey. 

Again, Swiss Air is the worst! I think I lost 20 pounds on that trip along with a broken wrist.

 

Hope this helps. Dorothy

      @Heatherisle, I'm so happy that your daughter had her B12 checked! B12 needs all the B vitamins to work properly.  A B Complex should be taken to ensure there are plenty of B vitamins to allow B12 to function properly.  It's very rare to have only one or two low vitamins in Celiac Disease.  B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted in urine.  Tingling in feet and hands is symptomatic of deficiencies in B vitamins like thiamine, Pyridoxine, and niacin. September 19 2025, "Your daughter needs to be checked for Vitamin B12 deficiency as soon as possible!   The nitrogen compounds in anesthesia can precipitate a B12 deficiency resulting in severe depression.  Please have her checked immediately! The nitrogen compounds in anesthesia (both gas and injected anesthesia) bind irrevocably with the Cobalt in Cobalamine Vitamin B12.  This precipitates a B12 deficiency in people with a low B12 level.  This can happen immediately, within days or weeks or months depending on B12 stores.    I've had medical procedures that required anesthesia and been struck down by deep dark depression and uncontrollable crying immediately, and also within weeks of the exposure.  My doctor put me on antidepressants which only made things worse.  Antidepressants don't correct a vitamin deficiency.   Please have her checked for B12 deficiency as soon as possible!"

      I'm so glad your daughter got her B12 level checked at last!

      Hi  Daughter finally had her B12 checked and her level was 30, normal range 180-200 so GP has prescribed medication for 4 weeks then further blood test so that probably accounts for how awful she’s been feeling recently. Folate was 2.2 just below the range of 3.0 - 20 so will need folic acid. Think iron levels were borderline but don’t know the numbers. Not sure if it was Ferritin levels they did. History of haemochromatosis in family , my husband has it and other daughter is a carrier. She still has a few more blood tests to be taken including Vit D levels. Has had deficiency in that last year and had 6 month course as had back pain and tingling in feet and hands. Anyway thank you everyone for all your previous replies and help!!!!

      I found some articles that illustrate the immune reaction to casein and gluten. Bovine milk caseins and transglutaminase-treated cereal prolamins are differentially recognized by IgA of celiac disease patients according to their age https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19290628/   Gliadin and Casein Metabolism: Synthesis of Gliadomorphin and Casomorphin and Their Biological Consequences https://www.researchgate.net/publication/397908713_Gliadin_and_Casein_Metabolism_Synthesis_of_Gliadomorphin_and_Casomorphin_and_Their_Biological_Consequences   Effects of milk containing only A2 beta casein versus milk containing both A1 and A2 beta casein proteins on gastrointestinal physiology, symptoms of discomfort, and cognitive behavior of people with self-reported intolerance to traditional cows’ milk https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4818854/#:~:text=Results,lactose tolerant and intolerant subjects.   Casomorphins and Gliadorphins Have Diverse Systemic Effects Spanning Gut, Brain and Internal Organs https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8345738/   Brain Opioid Activity and Oxidative Injury: Different Molecular Scenarios Connecting Celiac Disease and Autistic Spectrum Disorder https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7407635/

      Ijmartes71 I  son't think you are crazy by any psycoligical s=defination but you are obsessive. you may have considerable brain fog  , a problem that affects celiacs and many other people. . With this obsession you have abd being braun dogged you arw not abke to take any advice people are giving you to help you. To take advice you need to reduce your anxieties abd think more clearly. .Stop taking your herbs for at least one week because some of them will have side ellectsif you take them too long. You can add them back if you don't notice any good changes. Be more careful about being strictly gluten free.
