I used to get really terrible migraine-like headaches daily prior to going gluten free. Now maybe once a month I'll get one. All the pain meds I popped to get rid of them gave me a bunch of ulcers so now I can't take anything but tylenol. So, my gastro. doc told me to drink gatorade to get rid of them and it works! He said a good portion of headaches are due to dehydration and gatorade is the best way to fix that. Thought I'd pass it along. :)

Dandelion - that is an excellent point!

I cannot drink gatorade or any other sports drink, but I found that adding celtic or gray sea salt to my water has helped me a lot. It is hard to stay hydrated, but I found once I worked up to 64oz+ of water a day, I really notice it when I skimp.

The author of "Healing Digestive Illness" cites a connection between chronic dehydration and depression. I am not sure I buy it, but its amazing how important water is!

thansk for posting - i'll keep the gatorage or dehydration issue in mind. i have been having crazy headaches both before and after going gluten-free. i have been "un-diagnosed" with Celiac and Meniere's (inner ear problem that causes dizzy bouts) and doctor's now are saying that maybe all my symptoms have been coming from migraines and migraine variants. I ended up in the hospital last spring and dehydration was one of the main findings. so maybe, for whatever reason, i am getting dehydrated really quickly and it is escalating these migraines. i am willing to try anything for sure. i am staying gluten free as the doctor said that maybe i was gluten sensitive and gluten can trigger migraines. also, dairy free. like is said, i will try anything to get back to feeling decent again. hope this works for you too.

i havenoticed that since the weather is cooler, i am feeling better too. maybe it is really hard to stay hydrated during hot days for those who are having issues with dehydration. i drank water like crazy and sea salt mixed with sugar and water. who knows?

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
