Is There A List Of Symptoms Somewhere?

Just wondering if there is a thorough list of symptoms somewhere. I have soooooo many wierd things and I would love to know if they will resolve after I test and go gluten free.

Examples I have:

hair falling out, confusion, often can't think of the next word in a simple sentence, occasional stiffness in hands like they are cold but their not, hard to get out of bed, feel like my head is puffy, chronic fatigue, often feels like I have a lead suit on-actually difficult to pick things up off the floor or go up stairs. Irritability, impatience, headaches, plus all the gut stuff.

Thanks for any info,

Mia

Hi Mia--welcome! :) Glad you found us--your symptoms sound like they could point to gluten intolerance. Here is a list of symptoms--

If you are planning to see a doctor to be tested, don't go gluten-free yet--that could skew the results. Let us know how else we can help :)

Thank you! Yes, I am in the last week of my eating gluten for 3 weeks to get tested. I feel horrible so I hope the tests give me an answer. This site is very helpful and you all are very welcoming!

      I'm 63 and was diagnosed in 2010. Prior to diagnosis I was suspected of having to strokes and medicated according each time. A neurologist called me in to discuss my scan. From that discussion I had a camera down and celiac disease was confirmed. I suffered continued pain and numbness down my left side and was offered amitriptyline, and antidepressants that was also diagnosed for nerve pain. I said no as I didn't want the stigma of being on antidepressants. Seven years later I begged my GP to prescribe them and my life was changed almost immediately. If I'm glutened accidentally whilst eating out then my nerves pain/symptoms get worse but it's nothing compared to taking the medication and feeling a little drowsy every now and then.  The best of luck for the future.

      @jenniber, it would be pointless for your brother to get tested for celiac disease if he has already gone gluten free. Doing so invalidates the testing. He would need to undergo a "gluten challenge". That is, he would need to go back to consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, or the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat-based bread) for several weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw.
