They had a whole segment about celiac disease yesterday! The child was having seizures, not thriving, developmental problems, but no GI symptoms. The mom had celiac disease and ended up putting the pieces together herself (figures :rolleyes: ) Anyway, it was a really good show! They actually spent some time talking about it! :)

I saw that episode and was shocked to find out about the neurological symptoms of Celiac. I just saw the dr a couple of weeks ago because I'm losing my balance, have trouble with short term memory, problems with my eyes, and say or type things that I'm not thinking (wrong words).

Now I'm waiting for an app. with a Neur. and will ask about Gluten Ataxia which I've seen mentioned here on the board.

Marlene,

I use to have that problem of typing in the wrong words, or have to sit and think is it coach or couch or things similiar to that. But my thinking has greatly approved. I still have typos from time to time, but i type so much better now. I would forget were i just put my keys but i would remember where a toy of the kids was.

After being gluten, casein and soy free i dont have any of that happen anymore. I have the gene that causes neuro problems from gluten. So i know how you feel.

How long have u been gluten free?

I had problems like that, I was starting to walk as if I was drunk, blurry vision and memory problems. A B12 deficiency can do that, do you know what your levels are? B12 shots helped me alot, along with dietary changes, and those symptoms have gone away.

I think many of our symptoms are linked to nutritional deficiences but that by the time we get ill ordinary vitamins can be more of a problem to digest than a help.

Another thing I do which really helps me is salt, Himalayan salt -just a half teaspoon in a large glass of water each morning. It is loaded with essential minerals and good iodine. Ordinary table salt is stripped of all minerals and then the iodine, not a good iodine, is added back in, I avoid it.

I hope you are feeling better soon. :)

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
