Hi ya all..

I did the gluten challenge back in May and was negatove on biopsy so dietian at work (hospital said right your malnourised lets get some food in you. so carried on eating gluten felt ill but thought may be its just malnourished???

Then my skin on my face changed big time when I smile it has fine lines all over some one has told me its massive dehydration since...

any way my family have been very nasty as whilst eating it all I was very depressed again..mum said go on antidepressants tried them felt wierd (maize starch in them)??? any way on the second night on tablets my mum woke me at 3 am said your sisters covered in blood police are bringing her in...I jumped up out of bed was alseep..anhd when looked in mirror my face was lop sided and my neck taught my heart was pounding and couldnt stop going to the loo..number 2s..

I lost about 3/4 a stone..white as a gost..i went doctors next day he said may be bels palsy..but since then Ive noticed I am weaker on right side and my neck really hurts..he said get of tablets as they have maize starch in them you could be cleiac..??? I said dont you start thought I wasnt ..

My hair has been like straw, my skin is so badly dehydrated cant put make up on as it sits in the creases...and my face is slightly lopsided...please if any one can help Id appreciate it..

I had endocrine appointment and thyroid slightly low..so not done any thing about that..

I got back on diet 3 days ago started feeling a bit better hair felt better..but today I feel very fatigued ..heart burn, constipated, dry hair again and skin..big black circles and down..

The only thing I have done different is:

I had fry light oilve oil spray which has E number, litchen, alchahol, olive oile, emplusifier..but says gluten free????

I had gluten free fafel patties which contain yellow peas, garlic, tumeric, salt, herbs and spices but is made by gluten free brand??

Been drinking nescafe fine blend mild coffee???

Sweenters

Brought some vitamins and minerals but the vit c is a liquid made from pure vit c acid ( I do have agressive candida to)????

Ive done something wrong to make me feel like this today and I dont know what ..

Doctors arent helping as they are sick of me and I am sure my face is a stroke mild one as it shouldnt affect your arm and neck!!!....

Ive got dermotology next week so hoping they will help me as parents are trying to throw me out as sick of me being ill..

does any one else suffer dehydrated facial skin really getting me down and the drop in my face...

Hi sweetie pie! I don't know if you really have Celiac or not, but you sound *very* ill and malnourished. :o I suspect you may have WAY more than simple food intolerances here. Please call your doctor and ask him to admit you to the hospital (again?) to get parental nutritional support and rehydration. You sound like you need to be on a IV. Tell them that you will not leave until you get a Dx. and proper treatment. You need full blood work, and it sounds like you are not taking in nearly enough calories. You need to be careful, because if you are cutting out foods you don't need to cut out (besides gluten), you can be hurting yourself more than helping. You may have simple dehydration/malnourishment and/or Celiac, multiple "common" conditions, or a rare illness that needs a specialist.

PLEASE call your doctor today.

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

I agree with Doll. Also want to add that if you are malnourished and dehydrated, you should NOT be drinking coffee. I know, you'll end up with caffeine withdrawal, but caffeine dehydrates you. There is also evidence that it contributes to bipolar disorder, and a diabetic friend of mine told me that her endocrinologist says it messes up blood sugar levels as well.

People don't have face strokes. A stroke affects the brain, which then can affect one side, including neck and arm, and even legs. Did they rule out stroke in your case?

I hope you feel better soon.

Hi,

thank you...

They wont listen anymore to me and parents only listening to doctor. Doctor said bells palsy another said its not bels palsy..but my face is paralisised one side still not like it was but hollow one side and still bit wonky but my eye didnt doop like bels palsy which is why I really think its a stroke. I aslo read that you cant wrinkle forehead with bels palsy and I can. When I went to A&E they wouldnt listen they said bels palsy but head felt like it was exploding and my heart was pounding..I couldnt stop opening my bowels either lost so much weight and my skin has gone very strange. I tried to go gym to help circulation but even with very light weight felt like Id put my right arm out of joint.

Ive got no support and I am scared as I know I have something really wrong with me ..Ive just been to see accupuncture lady going back this afternoon she thinks Ive had a stroke and is going to treat me she said she will take case history and will write to my doctor if she thinks its a stroke. Hopefully this will help as I am worried I will get another one.

I still cant eat all the foods but may be its not celiac maybe I have yeast infection due to another illness..I am very worried about my skin I look so illand feel like no one is helping me as been dotors so much they just dont listen any more..

thanks for your support so you dont think celiac has cause dehydration in my skin ??

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until your holidays, prioritizing your immediate well-being and exams. To answer your questions, yes, it is possible for blood tests to be negative initially and become positive later as the disease progresses, which is why the biopsy remains the gold standard. Many, many people find the gluten challenge incredibly difficult due to the return of debilitating symptoms, so you are certainly not alone in that struggle. Wishing you the best for your exams and for obtaining clearer answers when you're able to proceed.

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping issues that can affect those with celiac disease. Is it possible you got some gluten in your diet somehow? This could be a possible trigger. Hopefully, tomorrow's appointment will provide clearer answers and a path to relief so you can get back to your lectures and enjoy your weekend. Wishing you all the best for the consultation.

      What exactly are you taking from doterra? 
    • Xravith
      Hello, I'm back with a second post. The first time I wrote, I mentioned the possibility that my symptoms were related to gluten. I did a genetic test in which I resulted to have the predisposition, but the results of my blood test were all negative without IgA deficiency. My doctor suggested that it was necessary to do a biopsy to rule out Celiac Disease. However, he said, because of my family history and my symptoms were strongly related to gluten, it was very possible that my Celiac Disease is developing and my antibodies may become positive in the future.  I tried to continue the gluten challenge for the biopsy, around 2-3 g of gluten per day, but it was enough to make me feel worse each passing day. I started developing anemia and other mild nutritional deficiencies, and it was really affecting my daily life. I'm a student and exams are coming up, so my doctor suggests me to strictly remove gluten until I feel better so I could study without problems until I could do the gluten challenge when I come back home for holidays. Since going gluten free, I feel like a completely different person. My mind is clearer, I have no stomach pain during the day, and even my nails improved within just two weeks. It could also be Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, but of course I’ll need the biopsy to know for sure. I was wondering, has anyone else had negative blood tests at first and later tested positive? And has anyone struggled with the gluten challenge because of symptoms?

      Doterra is a life saver and yes I feel like im waiting because Im getting yes you are celiac, no your not celiac. Im so FRUSTRATED, exhausted and tired of explaining to medical why I feel this way.Im stressed because my body isn't feeling well.Yes I am and no it's not just a food allergy as downplayed with doctors Ive seen.I even went to the " celiac  specialist " Dr Fernandez-Becker who down played my ailments and stated im not and then yes I am I even had one her " care team" ask my why do you want that diagnosis. UNMMMMM. I don't want it, its been my life confirmed in 1994.Menopause intensified extra sensitivity and medical has down played my sibo, ibs, CELIAC, now im having skin and eye issues. I thought help was available but its been a complete medical disaster.
