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. :)

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      Wondering if anyone knows whether Lindt chocolate balls are gluten free. The Lindt Canadian website says yes but the Lindt USA website says no. The information is a bit confusing.

      Study Estimates the Costs of Delayed Celiac Disease Diagnosis (+Video)

      Even though my brother almost died in his 40s because of coeliac disease, no one ever told family members that we should be tested. As a result, I was almost 70 years old when an orthopaedic doctor suggested that I be tested for coeliac disease. My count was greater than 250. I had loved my bread, baking, especially pies and was never sick, but did not absorb...

      CT with contrast.

      I didn’t know there were different types of CT. I’m not sure which I had. It just said CT scan with contrast.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.
