Long story much shorter.... I have several celiac friends who are all convinced I am one too. My exclusively breastfed son has allergies, determined to be at least wheat, from the nasty oozing/crusties behind his ear and spinach green poop. Well, I finally bowed to the fact that I can't bear to hurt him and took myself off of wheat. Knowing full well that it was as much for me as him, but couldn't bear to think it was for me. I have had IBS and Lactose intolerance for a long time, but don't have the celiac bloating, that I am aware of.

Anyway, I came off 3 weeks ago tomorrow. I cut it as primary ingredient and didn't worry about cc. I was warned against that.

Anyway, I have had within the past week:

  • migraines
  • light nausea
  • painful itchy rashes in no less than 8 places: knees, ankles, elbows...
    (yep, pretty sure DH - had it in my armpit when pregnant and didn't know what it was but it was there for 6 months and AWFUL.)
  • brain fog
  • painful scalp
  • followed my nearly every other hair on my body reacting to touch with pain
  • throbbing knee/leg pains
  • crushing 'sinus infection' like head pain when I move... but it's a delayed reaction
  • fever w/ chills and sweats in rotation

One time it got worse after I know I was glutened by cc.

I thought that in the beginning I had an ear infection so I started treating myself with immune system boosters, like echinacea, fermented garlic, probiotics.... oh, the counter intuitiveness of it all. My thought is that I have made myself SO much worse. I cut it all out about 3 days ago and I am slowly feeling better.... but, is this detox? Shoot for as much pain as I am in I might as well have been doing recreational drugs! Sheesh!

(BTW: the oozing/crusties healed in 2 weeks completely in my baby! poop is getting there...)

Actually to me it sounds less like a detox effect than a glutening. For many once the body clears the gluten for a bit, for some even a short time, the reaction that we get from accidental injestion is striking and even more severe than before we went gluten free. One reason why I believe the elimination and 'until you react' challenge is the most valid way of diagnosis us. Many will suffer withdrawl from gluten, this is usually more of a depression and anxiety sort of thing and unless reglutened often passes relatively soon.

Oh, wow. I didn't ever cut out cc, and my DH made wonderful organic homemade bread for me the whole time I was pregnant. ( NOW a :( )

I guess I figured it was more of a detox since I was so new and was sure I was still getting some level even if it was just from my kitchen (counters, bins, cast iron, stoneware) as well as the traces in my foods.

Wow.

Does everyone react differently to being glutened? My friend throws up and has d at the same time. I had neither but a whole host of others. Is that normal? (She has been diagnosed Celiac)

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

      The Happy Tart review

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my...

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
