Hi all,

Im Greg, a 28 male from England. Ive been viewing this forum for a while now and have been "gluten lite" since the New Year. I have never been tested for celiac disease / GI.

What started me looking at gluten was a forum i joined for pelvic pain / prostatitus that i developed nearly 2 years ago. A lot of men got much better going off gluten (something to do with mast cells - i.e. it eases inflammation). Suffice to say I have been virtually pain free for a month - no pain! I ahve a history of IBS, really bad gas in the evening & in the last year i developed peripherel neuropathy mainly in my feet, hands anf face (its calm at the moment). I also get eye twitches, muscle spasms occassionally, vibrating intestines. I thought all these symptoms came from anxiety caused by my pelvic pain condition. Maybe now it is indeed gluten?

Strange thing happened today - had a baked potato with coleslaw & cheese & bad palpitations after! I have suffered from palpitations for years & they always puzzle me because they don't correlate with stress or anxiety.

Just wondering about the palpitations after eating really? Coleslaw - gluten??

:rolleyes:

Thanks

Greg

Hi Greg

I'm glad the pain is easing for you & welcome to the wonderful world of gluten-free!

You're not alone with palpitations (i never spell that right) I'm a young, very active, mostly healthy 22 year old canadian and I get palpitations after eating all the time :( it's slowly getting better the more i stay un-glutened :D

Take Care

A lot of people who have a problem with gluten and wheat also have a problem with dairy. The cheese may be the culprit.

Try the pulse test next time you have dairy.

Pulse Testing: This method measures the pulse rate before and after eating a meal. If the pulse rises or varies more than 16 beats after the meal or any time during the next 24 hours in a resting state, exposure to an offending food can be suspected.

Good luck and welcome to the board!

To be honest i had a mini gluten binge for the first time in weeks on the weekend too. But yes it a

maybe dairy. Can most people go back on dairy eventually?

Boy - very tired now, esophegus aches, palpitations! I had doubts before but i really think I must be GI :blink:

Gluten can cause a delayed reaction, so that may be your problem.

A lot of people can go back on dairy as the intestine heals. It depends if you're lactose intolerant or casein intolerant. If lactose intolerant, you'll most likely be able to eat dairy again. Casein is more like gluten intolerance and is permanent.

Did you find out the ingredients in the cole slaw? Some salad dressings are not gluten-free.

How cloesly can GAD / anxiety symptoms mirror celiac disease/GI?

Thanks

Tsk, tsk, tsk, you need to get in the habit of reading ingredients for every product you use! ;) If you didn't cut the potato yourself, the knife may have been contaminated.

I don't know the answer to your other questions. I know gluten can affect the mind.

      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.

      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. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      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 ...

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.
