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! :)

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies.  Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes

This could be malpratice siit but im not good at finding lawyers

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
