So Here's Yet Another Question...

depending on the source or is it the same no matter if it's from barley, rye or wheat? I'm wondering because I had two accidental ingestions about a month apart. The first was wheat and the second one was barley. The wheat was terrible and I was so exhausted with it and had the mental fog, shaking, depression etc. With the barley I had really bad intestinal pain for about 8 hours, had some shaking and was a bit tired that day, but never had the mental fog and all the other things I get with the wheat. I was over it very quickly and it wasn't bad at all compared to what usually happens. In fact, if I hadn't known for sure the source I would not have thought I'd had any gluten at all.

One big difference also was that with wheat I have to raise my medication for a while and then taper it back down. With the barley that didn't happen. I thought maybe it was the amount ingested, but I think both of them were very small amounts and were probably comparable. If my reactions were more like what happened in the second instance I probably wouldn't be so paranoid about what I eat, but those 3 week long episodes are just awful!!!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
