Weird Symptoms, Any Ideas?

Today I had something happen that has happened atleast 2 other times to me within the last year or so. I will start feeling down emotionally, then after that I will become very fatigued (comes on quickly) and feel cold/chills. It is like I am coming down with a virus. I usually have to take a nap and pile tons of blankets on me to stay warm. About an hour and a half later the symptoms begin to wear off. It is possible that it coincides with being glutened because it seems to me that it has happened at times when I have been accidentally glutened, but not every time I get accidentally glutened. Any thoughts?

That's definitely part of my reaction when I get glutened :angry: I've also started getting itchy little bumps on my hands. Grrrr.... I hate how irritable it makes me.

So maybe it is related to being glutened then. Hmmmm. Thanks! :)

Hi Sarah......I know exactly how you feel, I have had these feelings as well....twice last week, I came home from work...felt fine....had dinner....also had about six pieces of licorice....then I am on the couch tired and very cold (almost like getting the flu) the other night it was a couple of handfuls jujubes (I think)....bundle under a blanket and have on and off sleep....after about hour I begin to feel better - other times I feel very weird, lightheaded weak and in general just not feeling well - again after 40-75 minutes....begin to feel better - I am currently trying to figure out what the heck is going on....is it food intolerance, celiac, IBS......doctor thinks IBS, but I am not so sure...very confusing since many of the same symptoms relate to different ailments - do you have any other symptoms like stomach ache\bloating

I know that Twizzlers contain wheat. Are you sure the licorice and Jujubes are gluten-free?

Hi,

Yes, your experience sounds like mine. I do get bloating very often. I would say I get bloated, stomach distended at the minimum twice a week. I often look like I am pregnant! If I eat anything with milk in it, I get stomach pain. So I don't eat anything with gluten, or milk in it. And lately, it seems if I have a glass of wine (especially on an empty stomach) I get horrible stomach pain that keeps me up all night until I fall asleep of exhaustion. For a while I was being treated for a possible ulcer. It seemed to get better and then after a few months of no symptoms, I tried having a glass of wine again and bam! Terrible pain. It is sooo frustrating when I am avoiding gluten and milk and still having digestive issues.

      I had the endoscopy with biopsy done. I have gastritis and duodenitis at this point. The biopsy should provide the cause of the inflammation findings. How common are these findings when Celiac is the ultimate culprit?

      Welcome to the forum @cookiesyum, I lasted on staton for about a month before getting so weak I had to stop.   Switched to Nicotinic Acid and I posted the results in a previous post.  Instead of getting sicker and weaker on the statin I feel I am improving day by day.  Nicotinic Acid was first used for cholesterol in 1955.

      According to research, consuming gluten can potentially trigger sudden mood swings and increased irritability in children, particularly those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, making them more likely to have tantrums or display behavioral issues; this is because gluten can trigger an immune response in the body, potentially impacting brain function and neurotransmitter levels.  When my son was diagnosed in 1976 when he was weaned his doctor told us that at 5 years old his kindergarden teacher would beg us to put him on Ritalin.  And so it did happen.  My son was on Ritalin though high school.  In the morning he was a devil who could not put on his socks. Half an hour after the morning dose he was an angel wanting to help mom get ready.  Talk about Jekyll and Hyde! Dr Danel Amen could be a good resource for you.

      Yes, it certainly can! My daughter has a reaction from just playing with Playdough. She doesn't get GI symptoms at first, just psychological mostly. It can get really bad. It's like night/day behavior. My daughter is eight, but started showing signs around 6.

      The easiest way to remember the difference between the cholesterol types is HDL;   H=healthy equals healthy (omega 3, 7, limit 6 & 9 MCFA'S =Medium Chain Fatty Acids. 3= coconut oil, 7= sunflower oil, avocado. The higher your HDL the healthier you are & less likely to experience strokes, clogged arteries Etc. You can even use cold expeller pressed coconut oil on your skin and that is the best kind of coconut oil to eat as well. You want your HDL much higher than your LDL, it will help you stay healthy.   LDL;    L=Lousy. Meat fats, processed fats.  The higher your LDL is the more likely you will have strokes, clogged artery is, heart disease, fatty liver.   Then there's lipids... they are the culprit to be blamed for many heart attacks and things like that they are very small round particles that transport fats. You can have a low overall cholesterol reading and most of it be healthy cholesterol and have a ton of lipids and there's nothing you can do to change the lipid count. High number of lipids is very dangerous.   I'm going on statins is extremely dangerous if you ask me it's just completely my opinion, because I have seen so many of my elderly friends bleed to death internally because of the statins. I mean you wouldn't take all the oil and grease out of your car or a motorcycle and then try to drive it that way would you? You see that's what statins do they remove all of your bodies fats and it doesn't matter whether it's healthy fats or a lousy fats. It removes all of them and then your body can't function properly. You have to have fats to keep your skin supple and to stay warm. Your body also needs fats to digest & process certain nutrients, amino acids & vitamins.   Your brain is composed of fat so is that something you really want to remove with a pill every morning and night?   The thing about statins is that they also make the blood vessels and capillaries permeable. So this is how my friends who were on cardiac medication for a long time and statins ended up bleeding internally to death.   If you want to make sure that your heart is healthy, take odorless garlic at night and magnesium, vitamin K & calcium.
