Brain Fog

I've been glutenfree for about 2-3 months now, and I feel great, nut I still have this weird feeling that

I've seen others refer to as "Brain fog". I'm wondering, those of you who have experienced this brain fog, how many

weeks/months did it take before you lost it?

Depending on the extent of damage it can take awhile. How long have you had Celiac? Do you have any other neurological symptoms with it? I can tell you that if you even remotely gluten yourself the brain fog will not go away. It takes me about 2-3 weeks for the feeling to go away if I get glutened.

I have no way of knowing how long I've had coeliac, but my problems started about 1.2 years ago and brainfog about 4-5 months ago. Found out I have celiac about 2-3 months ago and I have been glutenfree since then, without beeing glutened as far as I know. I am 99.99% sure that I am not consuming any gluten whatsoever as of right now. I also have anxiety and depression, the anxiety is getting better and so is the depression.

It can take a while. Make sure you are taking a sublingual B12 every day even if your regular vitamins have it in them that will help a great deal. Also are you being diligent about CC and about gluten in your toiletries like shampoo, soaps, conditioners, makeup? Even the very small amount of CC you would get from those products may be enough to keep the autoimmune process active.

Hm, soaps, never thought about it that way.

Makeup I don't use, i'm a guy :P

What would the index-declaration state on a shampoo/soap if it contains gluten?

sublingual B12 <-- what is this btw? I know my multivitamins contain b12.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
