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.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
