Headaches

For some reason my DD is having headaches almost everyday. She's been w/Gluten-Free since 3 yrs. ago and is not getting glutened that I know of. Does anyone know if something else could be causing this?? I'm making her another appt. for the doc. tomorrow. I'm ready to get her well. Headaches have been going on for about a yr. or a little longer. I have just thought that glasses would do the trick. But not.

Thanks.

Cross Contamination maybe????

Gluten gives me major headaches, so I'm also voting for the cross contamination theory.

Well she did use my pantene shampoo by accident last night, I think. It could have gluten in the fragrances. That's what my drug smartlist says anyway. I need to go ask her about that.

Thanks.

There are so many causes of headaches - cc would be one...but hormones out of whack, low selenium / calicum or trace minerals can cause headaches (which wouldnt be uncommon in a celiac)... not drinking enough water, you name it - the head can respond with pain to issues anywhere in the body.

Good luck with the appt I hope they investigate it thouroughly - it is debilitating to live with that kind of pain every day.

It's also possible that the fragrance alone causes these symptoms. I get headaches from many fragrances found in commercial products. One day I got out of the salon with a headache, and by the time I got home it was so bad I had to shampoo.

Is she hypoglycemic? That can cause headaches daily if not controlled.

Well her eyes are barely bad. The doc. almost didn't give her a prescription for glasses b/c they aren't that bad. She is only 10. I'm hoping that it's nothing serious. I'm sure that she'll be okay.

Gah! Not crappy optometrists too?! Even a small difference can cause a headache in sensitive folks, especially if it's astigmatism.

This is true--especially in children, whose eyes can change quite a bit in a short time. My son was in 2nd grade when we found out he needed glasses. He had been having headaches--that's what brought us to the eye doctor. His left eye was weaker than his right. Although he was seeing the board at school, etc, the act of trying to "regulate" what each eye was seeing was causing the pain. The glasses did help the headaches, but not immediately. After this, we took him in every year, and each time, his Rx for glasses changed. Every time until he was 18. He also has an astigmatism in both eyes--

      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/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?
