I read your other thread and I can relate to alot of what you're feeling. Chemicals in foods can definately wreak havoc on the brain. I wasnt as young as you are when I started to experience the symptoms (I had many from the list above) so when it happened I definately knew something wasnt right....that it wasnt normal at all. I had been healthy for all my life with none of the symptoms on that list.

I ended up almost totally avoiding people because I couldnt follow conversations and I just felt "out of it" all the time. I felt kind of like I was on drugs most of the time.....totally spaced out. I also got to the point that I was having suicidal thoughts and just not really being able to cope anymore....everything seemed kind of out of my control.

Once I started making strict diet changes my head totally cleared...I felt happy again and I no longer had that spaced out feeling. No more brainfog (at least not as bad as it had been). I also reduced my exposure to household chemicals, perfumes, etc.

I hope you get good results from the diet but if things arent improving and you continue to feel bad, severely depressed.....and especially if you still feel suicidal at times.....be sure to seek medical help.

I havent been depressed since starting the diet although I do have a bad day here and there which is always related to what I've eaten. On Christmas I ate whatever I wanted (except soda) ALL DAY and seemed to do OK. I got a little bit of a runny nose and sore throat but nothing bad enough to make me stop eating. I woke up yesterday with a few "cold-like" symptoms which wore off pretty quickly and I thought I'd done really well with handling everything I'd eaten.

I went to work and got on the computer (same thing I do every morning) and I FORGOT how to do the same tasks that I do every day. I FORGOT all of the passwords I need to get into the computer. Everything was totally jumbled in my mind and I was trying to get on using very old passwords....I couldn't "get" the info. that I needed. It was there in my mind....but I couldnt access it. After 15 minutes I had to get help from a co-worker.

I havent had that problem in a VERY long time....so definately these things can affect the brain. If I ate whatever I wanted everyday eventually I wouldnt be able to function at all.

Probably not. Here the price sticker has the ingredients on the sticker. Don't know about there. They use flour as a binder in meats, especially ham.

I don't think I have heard of that practice in the US mushroom.

In the U.S. you don't find wheat as a "binder" in deli meats.

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      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.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      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.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      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/
