Migranes

I think Im reading that a lot of you have migranes as symptoms.... Am I right?

My mom has celiac. I have celiac. My 19 yr old daughter has horrible stomach problems. The Dr told her to just go on the diet, as he is sure she has it also.

My question is my 27 yr old daughter...has always gotten horrible migranes.......Drs say they seem to be hormonol........ she has no stomach problems. But do yall think she should be tested also?????????Could gluten be causing these?

If you have Celiac and your mom has celiac disease, then your daughter should be tested even if she had no symptoms at all......if she also has migrianes, definitely.

I agree with celiac3270. Your daughter should be tested regardless of symptoms (or the lack of them).

I had digestive problems off and on during my childhood, which pretty much went a way in my teens, and came back worse after I had children in my mid-twenties. The consistent symptoms were migraine type headaches and joint pain. I still get both symptoms, but not as often and usually not as bad.

God bless,

I posted earlier in one of the forums here about not being sure if I was born with celiac disease or if it developed later on.

I can say for sure that I have had headaches some very severe for as long as I can remember. Some of my earliest memories are of terrible headaches. I can remember being in 2nd grade. The neighbor kid was facinated with being a fireman (which he went on to become). He thought that everyone should share his passion for being a fireman.

I can remember thinking and even saying, "I am afraid the firehouse bell would give me a headache, and this would make it hard for me to fight the fire." Well, of course, the adults just brushed me aside. They didn't believe that I could be having headaches the way I claimed to be having them. They said I was too young to have headaches.

Over the years, I was sent home from school several times vomiting with headaches. I have missed days of work with headaches, and have somewhat of a headache as I sit here and browse this forum.

My chiropractor says that the vertebra 1,2 & 3 are malformed, probably due to a serious fall as an infant that caused them to develop improperly. Well, I understand that I did have a serious fall at 6 mos. old. So, this being the case, and having hereditary pancreas problems, gave me a headache DOUBLE WHAMMY. So, I won't press my luck! :)

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating gluten daily for weeks beforehand. Many have already gone gluten-free during their pre-screening period, thus their test results end up false negative, leaving them confused and sometimes untreated. It is sad that so few doctors attended your workshops, but it doesn't surprise me. It seems like the protocols for any type of screening should just pop up on their computer screens whenever any type of medical test is ordered, not just for celiac disease--such basic technological solutions could actually educate those in the medical community over time.

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 seem to be more sensitive to minor amounts of gluten exposure than those with just one of those genes and those with only DQ2 seem to be more sensitive than those with only DQ8. But there are probably many factors that influence the damage rate to the villi as well as intensity of reaction to exposure. There is still a lot we don't know. One of the gray areas is in regard to those who are "silent" celiacs, i.e. those who seem to be asymptomatic or whose symptoms are so minor that they don't garner attention. When they get a small exposure (such as happens in cross contamination) and have no symptoms does that equate to no inflammation? We don't necessarily know. The "sensitive" celiac knows without a doubt, however, when they get exposure from cross contamination and the helps them know better what food products to avoid.

      Help!  My 5 year old daughter just stopped eating dairy and gluten due to her EoE and Celiac.  Her favorite candy in the world is tootsie rolls.  I did some research, and it sounds like these are the only options for finding something similar, but I can't find them anywhere to actually purchase.  Have they been discontinued??  Does anyone have another recommendation for a gluten-free/DF tootsie roll option?

      I wonder how long it usually takes and if it is dose dependent as well... or if some ppl have a more pronounced reaction to gluten than others   thanks again for all the great info
