Blood Pressure Going Up On Gluten Free Diet

Hi,

I've been on a gluten free diet now going on 10 weeks and lately when I check my blood pressure at home it's been going up.I don't know if it's coincidental or not or maybe I'm absorbing more salt from my food.I'm beginning to wonder .... I'm gaining in health one way and losing the other way.

Off the diet you can get cancer, on the diet your cholesterol goes up and incresaes your odds of having a heart attack.

Are you eating a lot of gluten-free junk food? Most gluten-free replacement foods are much higher in simple carbs and sugars than the gluteny foods being replaced. Also, do you get enough vitamins C, E and D? Those are important for regulating blood pressure, as are omega 3 fatty acids.

Eat apples, they are known to lower blood pressure (even smelling an apple will do that).

      @Jmartes71, What a stressful journey!  I'm so glad you found your way here.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Doctors don't recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms.  Which supplements are you taking?  Just herbal ones or vitamins?

      Do you consume dairy? Have you recently had an infection or cold? Do you have digestive symptoms?   Do you eat processed gluten free foods? What is your Vitamin D level?

      Help figuring out stomach pain

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @lizzie42, How are your daughter's bowel movements?  Does she have gas, diarrhea or constipation?  Does her squeezing feeling move around in her abdomen or is it consistently in one spot?  Is she dehydrated? How much fruit does she eat?  Fruit juices? I'd recommend cutting out the cheese for a while, till you get it sorted.
