Symptoms Worse After Going gluten-free?

I have been gluten-free for about a month now with no slip ups that I am aware of. I am very, very careful. But my symptoms, particularly the peripheral neuropathy, have gotten worse and not better. Is this common? I know that both of my boys seemed to have a detoxing period of about a week when coming off gluten. Their behavior was horrible. :huh: But it passed. Just looking for some hope that I haven't done permanent damage to myself and that these symptoms will ease up....

Texas mama,

Do you also have systemic fungus? I'm guessing yes since you have diagnosed diabetes wiwth peripheral neuropathy. Going off glutens can starve and kill them off and you might get worse for a bit during the die off phases. ALA supplements can help that condition but it takes time. Also some good coQ 10 for your heart even though it may be fine right now.

ARe you on meds yet for this condition?

I'm sorry that I had more questions than answers.

I don't have diabetes. In fact, my blood sugar is super duper. :D I think that the peripheral neuropathy is either connected to the B12 deficiency (though that should be resolved with weekly injections) or the celiac. I actually take coQ10 to prevent my migraines, though it hasn't helped any lately. They are worse, too. What a strange puzzle this is! By fungus, do you mean yeast? I'm sure I am full of yeast like most Americans are....

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
