I can only say sorry you are feeling this way. I know the dizzies are the worst. I dont slur, but I fumble a lot. Hope you feel better soon.

I used to slur before going gluten free. I didn't actually realize it until my son told me he was having a hard time understanding me on the phone. Now I don't slur, ( I think that went away when the brain fog lifted) but I sometimes have trouble getting my words out---almost like a stutter, but that happens very rarely.

I slur with dairy. I've been accused of being drunk when it was only a slice of cheese or a little milk.

With my ataxia/vertigo feelings, I often feel like I am drunk but without all of the good feelings. :(

Yeah, I get retarded too. I'll try to think of a word like 'repeat' and just get a major brain fart. People get used to guessing what I mean, like with a deaf person almost.

I do this all the time. It's been worse since I had my hysterectomy last summer. Weird thing is, when you talk to other people who have had surgery, they say the same thing has happened to them, especially women who have had hysterectomies! :o I work with a friend who had a hysterectomy about 2 1/2 months before me, and we often laugh this off, because we do it at the same time!!! What can you do but laugh!!!! Words just will not come to me, or I can't spell them, when I know I know how to spell the word--it's very frustrating!!!

I'm still having it :( I go see my nwe GI doc in a week so I'm trying to stay on gluten. I've been eating it at night so the sluring and brain farts aren't as bad, but I can't wake up in the morning though :-(

I'm reading a very good book written by a pediatric neurosurgeon, Dr. McCleary, called "The Brain Trust Program". He writes about how he has helped people recover brain function after traumatic illnesses or injury and recommends a variety of supplements and activities for restoring brain function. His major focus is age related memory loss but he deals with other issues as well. I wonder if his book might help the brain recover from gluten related issues? He has a blog too: Open Original Shared Link

The brain is amazing. As are our bodies. I never believe if a doctor/research/person says "it will never heal", "you will be this way for life", "it's irreversible", etc. Amazing things happen all of the time!!! And brains can regenerate. And new pathways can be formed to take over defective ones.

I read a book about vertigo issues and this researcher came up with a device that you put in your mouth. It stimulates nerves in your mouth which somehow retrain your brain and you get a whole new balance system. The old one fades to the back and the new one takes over. I cried as I read a story of a woman who had such severe vertigo that she spun non-stop for years and this device fixed her. It didnt happen over night, but it fixed her.

I forget the name of the device, but it is in clinical trials right now. According to the book, it has helped people with parkinson's, MS, Mineier's, etc.

Yes, I had problems with speech before going gluten-free. It was one of the worst and most debilitating symptoms, besides the excruciating pain and D that I was experiencing on a daily basis. I would have trouble with memory and thinking of simple words, stutter or stumble on the pronunciation of words that I knew, and jumble phrases. It was humiliating. I stopped eating gluten, but just as significant for me, I introduced flax seeds, walnuts, gluten-free vitamin B tablets, and fish on a daily and regular basis. I went back to "normal".

I don't slur, but I do stutter when I get glutened. Never happened before going gluten-free, but does happen now when I get glutened.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
