Minor Setback

Well, after 2 weeks of feeling great, i had a setback today. Apparently Faygo pop doesnt like me. It is the only new thing i have added this week and i had a visit from the big D and was reunited with the brain fog and fatigue. I know i will have these setbacks, and it is still better than the way things were even 3 weeks ago. I cant wait to try my hand at some baking, because the gluten-free bread i bought is rather yucky. I hope its better fresh, tell me its better fresh.

This forum has been so supportive, thanks to everyone here.

Its not uncommon to have minor setbacks during not only your first few weeks but it will continue for a long time to come.... 6 years down the road you will become complacient about company "A" and stop reading their label each time you purchace their product and oooops they changed the recipe to now include gluten...

it happens and we get to deal with it, but overall the end result is worth it.

This being your 2 week anniversary (so to speak) I normally suggest getting a fresh start, being that you had brain fog when you started you may have missed something along the way so revisit articles and re-read them, doublecheck all your food items in the cupboard and this time since you will be doing it without "mr brain fog" you may pick up something you missed. Dont forget to check vitamins and prescription meds you may be taking as well as shampoo's, lotion and such if you continue to use them you need to at the very least be aware of which ones contain gluten so you can take the precautions nessasary.

As for the baking.... start small with a batch of cookies or brownies (I started with coffee cake, will send you the recipe if you want) and yeah sure the bread tastes better freshly baked (actually I have no idea as I havent gotten up the nerve myself to find that out yet, lol)

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
