Gluten V/s Crack


Electra

Ok I've never been on crack or any other non prescription drugs before but yesterday when I filled up on Gluten to see if I could envoke some sort of reaction my body went absolutely wild. About 3-4 hours after I had eaten the symptoms began and as the day went on they got worse and worse until I was at a point where I almost felt like I was on some sort of drug like Harroin or Crack. I swear I've never been on anything like that, but if I had to describe it I'd say it was like coming off from a drug you are addicted to!! I had the shakes, I was so nervous I couldn't stop pacing, my leg swelled all up and got numb, my mind was racing so fast I couldn't concentrate at all, and there were a ton of other symtoms too!! I'm still pretty new to all this, but wouldn't that be a positive result? I only want to be tested because if it's not Gluten then it could be something else neurological and I need to know what it is so I can either treat it or learn how to manage it. If I get a false negative how am I going to deal with still NOT having a diagnosis? This is just all way too scary for me!!

What if my daughters test results do not prove she has this? Then what in the heck is her rash caused by? Man I just can't immagine this being anything else!!

No doubt gluten can evoke many different reactions. So do many other food. Legumes, other grains, lactose, nightshades, and salicylates could all be culprits.

I had numerous rashes. Finally I discovered white potato to be the source of the itch.

if your daughter's tests come back negative, that does not ever completely rule out Celiac or gluten intolerance. The testing is still not specific enough or sensitive enough (despite what the medical community still asserts) to detect all cases of celiac or gluten intolerance, so even if her tests are negative, that just means "not positive" but she could respond amazingly well to the diet.

As to your other question, OH YEAH gluten poisioning feels like being drugged... (unfortunately I DO know... B) ) Very disconcerting feeling...

      Not officially diagnosed yet I goto the doctor a week from today but I'm 110% that will be the diagnosis I honestly can't believe my doctors/health care team hasn't put it together before I mean I'm basically the live and walking definition straight from the book haha I don't think I've ever been so sure on anything before I'm just reqly concerned for this diet I will be living on or diets I guess due to type 1 diabetes, gastroparesis, gerd, celiac disease, and lactose intolerance...what is left? A sand salad with a side of rain water?!? I definitely see a tough future

      Welcome to the forum, @Tlbaked13! Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease? It is well-known that celiac disease can result in peripheral neuropathy but so can diabetes.

      Lactic acid bacteria start to develop as soon as flour and water are mixed, so I assumed that in a yeast dough with long proofing time there could be some effect of fermentation and gluten break down.

      I am COMPLETELY new to this celiac disease however I have had the same feelings and then some with my feet for years now and been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy myself but they blamed and attempted to treat due from my type 1 diabetes and none of the treatment has helped at all so far so possible from celiac disease? Just sharing MY thoughts on this I've had zero confirmation

      I've not heard of the DNA test I will definitely look into that. And I did not know that the neuropathy was symptoms of vitamin deficiency. I have been trying to get on a good vitamin regimen. Thank you!
