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.

Thanks, Shay:) I am having a rough time.

Everybody thinks I am drunk :lol:

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 just went back OFF dairy...might have something to do with it.

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.

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
