Weird Symptoms, Any Ideas?

[Sarah8793]

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 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.
