Stuttering/shortness Of Breath

I was just thinking... and I remember January-March this year I started to stutter a bit - I had never had a problem with stuttering before so I thought it was strange. I also remember being short of breath when speaking (I don't know about during activity, since I didn't do much then).

I was diagnosed with Celiac early April and was discovered to have B12 and iron deficiencies as well. I have since been gluten-free and have been taking iron and B12 supplements - the stuttering and shortness of breath have gone away.

Does anyone know if Celiac/the nutrient deficiencies could have been the cause of those problems? Or maybe it was just a coincidence or my imagination... :huh::unsure:

If you don't have enough red blood cells, you aren't transporting oxygen, and you aren't getting enough air.

Well you stop being able to absorb nutrients from your food with Celiac, so it probably caused your B12 deficiency. Although some people have pernicious anemia and always have to take B12 supplements or shots.

How wonderful that new annoying symptom is gone though!

Yeah I know Celiac probably caused the deficiencies (I am a vegetarian as well, so that's part of my problem).

I was curious as to what may have caused the stuttering/shortness of breath.

I have never done this before, don't know if you will get this message but I had to try to thank you. I have the shortness of breath. I was diagnosed months ago and it's gotten a little better. I've been tested for vitamine D (and that's not getting better) but not other deficiencies. I'm so happy you wrote, I was so scared about what was happening to me. And the doctors kept telling me it was stress. Got to love those doctors! Thanks again!

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      Researchers are working on T cell modification therapy that could one day let celiacs eat gluten.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears. Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also, I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
