Are These Normal Glutened Symptoms?

Recommended Posts

Rpm999 Contributor

let me first say, i've been gluten-free fully for around a month...i definitely felt better in some ways, but i've had so many (neuro/mental) symptoms that i can't even tell how, but i just all around feel a bit better

but last night, i started to get short of breathe, felt like it was 200 degrees and my skin was on fire, could barely move....i was laying there and i felt like i was having nightmares, yet awake, and i felt like i was extremely drugged up or something....i just felt unbelievably off and it was a bit scary, obviously i feel the same today but...it feels a lot worst than how i felt before(this reaction), and i realized that most of these major symptoms, are things i was suffering with before that i guess they were all getting a bit better....the heat blowing on my feeling used to be so bad, but after having it now, i realized that not long after going gluten-free, it wasn't really an issue

the only questionable thing i had was curly's ribs...lots of questionable ingredients, and i searched on here yet only found one mention of it saying it was fine so things could have changed, and i didn't call the company which was a stupid move but i needed something real quick and figured it was fine

but my question, is it normal to have scary symptoms like that because of gluten, or did anybody else have things like that? the thing was, it was a whole rack of ribs too lol, and being new to the diet, if it was that, it probably hit me hard...i felt this way not long after, but i'm sure that's common....it just feels like gluten REALLY attacks my nerves/brain...definitely looking to get some sublingual b12/magnesium soon, but i'm wondering what else i could do from those who this sounds similiar to

Well, I am not sure if this is going to help your situation or make you feel any better. But, I only have been gluten free just over 4 months, and I experienced that when you do have an exposure (ingesting gluten) after being gluten free for a while, the effects can be absoloutely horrible, worse than when you were intially ingesting gluten. So, yes, symptoms can be very severe, especially after been gluten-free for a while.

I notice the same thing after even being mostly gluten free, {compared to what I was, hehe}..the affects are MUCH worse and noticable.It does make it easier to pinpoint what we just ate, as for me I feel it within 30 seconds of eating a bite of gluten..just muscle through it as best as possible if you can.Good Luck to you. ;)

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      You might also consider a low iodine diet as iodine is know to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. But be careful with that as well as there are health problems that can accrue from iodine deficiency.

      Hi, Yes, the rash has gone. I still get the itches but there is nothing to see now, apart from a lot of discoloured areas where the rash was worst. Occasionally I get a single lump come up, a bit like hives, but no bigger than a pea and it goes after 24hrs and a steroid cream application.  And yes, giving the gluten-free diet 110%. Very careful about any cross contamination.  This is my fifth autoimmune condition so well and truly on that bandwagon.

      Welcome to the the celiac.com community, @suek54! Is the Dapsone getting the rash under control? Are you practicing a gluten free diet yet? The only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis is celiac disease.
