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.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
