I Have Reached A Plateau

Some questions for your guys.

I have been gluten free for well over a year. And I seem to be stuck. My gait feels labored. My hands still tremble a little. Typing has become difficult. ( as evident in my short posts, but that may be a good thing ). I seem to have lost my alertness (big concern), I speak when spoken to and not much voluntary conversation. And just an overall feeling like I have one oar in the water. Around and around and getting no where.

Could this be a B-12 difficiency?

Could this be congnitive damage from Celiac?

Could this be Thyroid symptoms?

Could this be adrenal fatigue or failure?

Any thoughts would be welcome.

Thank you,

Lisa

A visit to the doctor may be in order. This may not be related to celiac at all. I was diagnosed 28 years ago at the age of 21 and I have had my share of illnesses and aches and pains completely unrelated to celiac.

I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks Phyllis for your repy.

My guess is that it is a b-12 issue and related to celiac, but not a gluten issue.

Please do visit your doctor to go over your symptoms. They could be related to something other than celiac...best to get a check up and confirm nothing else is amiss.

I agree with the rest, maybe time for your annual check-up? It won't do any harm to mention them to see if he can see a connection.....

If it makes you feel any better, I've been on that same plateau for a decade now..... <_<:ph34r:

Do you have painful pins and needles in your hands or feet?

If you answer yes it is more than likely B-12.

I would get checked out.

After having severe anemia, I know when I feel I am starting to fade that it is my B-12.

Get thee to a veterinarian fair goose.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
