I have been feeling icky the past 4 days. My joints and body ache, neuropathy is back in my fingers, brain fog, migraine or nasty headache every day and indegstion! I have been gluten-free for 5 months now and have been feeling great!! I am sure I did not get gluten as I have not gotten any tummy issues. But I am not sure what it is!! I hope it is not another food intolerance! Any thoughts?

Becky,

Have you added anything new to your diet recently? Even supplements or vitamins? I started feeling a bit better after eliminating gluten but found that I had problems with other foods as well (all grains/beans etc). A number of us have reacted to things in nutritional supplements that are supposedly 'allergen free.' It seems as though brain fog, migraines and aches can be caused by MSG and other additives too.

The thread "OMG...I Think I'm on to Something" on the board has a discussion that's helped me a lot. It's concerning MSG and the names it is hidden under...there are at least a few of us who have been gluten free but are still having problems, and are wondering if hidden MSG has been making us sick.

Hopefully you'll find something helpful there. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you figure out what's been making you feel bad, and that you start to get some relief. :)

Maybe you have the flu.

maybe just a virus... if you are being really careful about cc, and you haven't added anything new, maybe double check your products to make sure an ingredient hasn't changed, but more likely a virus... hope you are feeling better!

I thought I got glutened the other day because the brain fog was starting to set in. The next day I woke up with a head cold and never got the stomach symptoms. Fortunately, the cold went away in a day or two, unlike the week to ten days I used to get them before going gluten-free.

So, you could just have a virus like someone mentioned. It's easy to always blame it on gluten especially when brian fog is involved!

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
