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--

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
