Dehydration?

Hi all, just wanted to see if this could be something with celiac or just plain something else going on. Monday night I started feeling a little dizzy, blurred vision with a headache on the right side of my head. As the night went on, the worse I felt, dizzy, nauseous, room spinning constantly, headache, D, going to the bathroom a lot. I went to work and an hour after being there I could not function, or walk hardly at all by this time, I was driven home and called the doctor. Got in and and after explaining all the symptoms and what had happened since the night before and asking the doc if this could be celiac related, I was told I was dehydrated. He gave me a script for dizziness and nausea, and told me to eat some chips and drink lots of fluids. Yesterday I went in to work the later half of my day and had moments where I felt alright and others when I wasn't sure what I was doing or forgeting how to do it. I work in an office as a secretary. I have been doing what I should, drinking gatorade, taking meds, eating foods with sodium in it. Today I still feel drained, like I did two days ago. I am going to call the doctor to see what else it could be but I really can not afford to miss any more work.

Just wondering if anyone else may have similar symptoms or know what is happening. Any comments would be helpful, especially when calling the doctor and letting him know there could be something else going on.

Thanks for listening. :unsure:

It doesn't sound Celiac related to me....possibly an inner ear infection?

Thanks for your response. The doc checked my ears and said he did not see anything that would cause any redness or infection. I will call and probably will have more tests done. Thanks for your help.

An inner ear infection wouldn't cause inflammation in the outer or middle ear--it's on the inside, affects the fluid balance and that's what causes the dizziness and nausea. They don't necessariliy cause pain like a middle ear infection would.

Just FYI :) Hope you're able to get to the bottom of this soon.

Along these lines, if you can find in a healthstore a bottle of mullein oil infusion (in olive oil) you can put a drop in each ear a few times a day and it will help kill and draw out infection. It feels icky but boy does it work.

My 13-year-old had something similar several months ago, and it was quite scary. She was dizzy, brain fogged, seeing flashing lights whenever she stood up, felt sick, etc. I took her to the doctor and her blood pressure was 70 over something. They were sure she was dehydrated, and gave us the same advice that you were given, gatorade,etc. It did take several days to go away, but it did go away. I still buy gatorade and have to continually ask her what she's had to drink, how much, etc. She feels much better, but it took longer than I thought. I guess if you're severely dehydrated, it takes time to replenish, more than just a day or two or three. Hope you feel better soon! But if you don't, call the doctor back.

I did call the doctor back after talking to the nurse at the allergy clinic. She suggested getting ears thoroughly checked by the ENT doc. I asked my doctor what they wanted me to do and because my blood pressure was 100 over 60 they want me to see a nuerologist. I also get migraines and they want to rule out anything about the migraines first. I see the nurse at the allergy clinic weekly and can get an appointment to see the ENT, I just have to let them know when first.

Thanks for eveyone's input.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
