Has anyone experienced dizziness from glutening? I was glutened 4 weeks ago and I am still having symptoms. I have fogginess but I am also quite dizzy.

Yes, I get a dizzy-lightheaded feeling when glutened. I used to feel like that most of the time before I went gluten-free, and it took some time after for it to only occur when glutened.

While recovering, I was frequently dizzy. I felt that my equalibriun was way out of wack. I almost felt that I was walking sideways. Mime went away after being gluten free for some time (about 6 months).

I am sure that it will improve soon. :)

Oh yes, I had really bad dizzy spells. At first the docs thought it was low blood pressure (they put me on a high-salt diet made me so sick!) I finally was diagnosed with BPV (Benign Positional Vertigo). Mine bothers me most when looking up, but for awhile it was constant when I was sitting in front of my computer at work (I work on the computer all day so it was real torture). I almost went on medical leave. I also had the nausea. I was able to secure a different computer monitor for work that has me looking down most of the time and that has helped.

I was sent to a physical therapist that showed me several different exercises that I was supposed to do on a daily basis. At first I thought it was hogwash, becuase it didn't seem to be helping, but slowly over time, most of the dizzy spells resolved themselves. It was a lot of repetitve motion of my head, up and down, side to side- the idea is to condition the body to get used to the "trigger" movement that causes your dizzy spells. I still get dizzy spells occasionally, especially if I'm looking up, like at the top shelf in a grocery store. Overall though, I am much better.

Are you kidding me? Six months?

Aw man... I've been extremely dizzy and lightheaded lately, have been my whole life mainly, but ever since going gluten-free, after like the first two days, its became way worse...

How long did it take? :)

Me too! I've been feeling this for the last few years but not as bad as it is now. I've only knowingly eaten gluten twice in the last year, the lightheadedness was a bit worse on those two ocassions.

two years gluten-free and you're still light-headed and dizzy? :blink:

I'd say at least 6 months.

Only one year, sorry, but yes, still light-headed and dizzy...but in my case I think it's related to something else...one of two things...I should know more about WHICH in a few weeks. Eating gluten definitely made it worse and it did get better after I stopped eating it regularly.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
