Still Not Feeling Better

Hello,

I have been diagonsed since August 2008...however not really as strict as should have been until recently (about a month or so). I suffer from anxiety...the kind where i am worried all the time about disease and dying ( i can laugh at myself because every ache in my body I tune into and think I am dying Godforbid of an illness.) My otehr symptoms are weight gain (since being diagnosed about 10 punds) sinus infections ( polyps), still very gassy, muscle cramps, and sometimes fatique and recurring yeast infections. I also can't remeber the last time a slept the whole emtire night straight through. My question is ... DOes this sound normal for someone with Celiac? Or should i go yet again back to the dr and have more tests done.

BTW, I have MFTHR gene mutation and take viatmn Metanx for it, and I am Viatmn D defciciant ( recently started a cal, mag, d, viatmn. I also take xanex on an as needed basis. PLease help and let me know that I am not alone and these are normal celiac symptoms... thanks i n advance

The weight gain is really upsetting me... I am eating very healthy and work out regualry and having trouble losing. :( PLease help

I've had unexplained weight gain for several years. It got worse the past few years...I'm 40-50 pounds overweight...yet I have always eaten a healthy diet (just went gluten-free 14 days ago) and exercise ALOT and am very active every day (early morning to about 3-4pm when I bloat and run out of steam). I am hopeful that removing gluten will eventually heal my digestive system and at least stop the weight gain and relieve my other symptoms.

I also have had trouble sleeping for years...more than a few times I thought I had depression...but after very careful examination over the past year I KNOW that I got depressed from being so sick, not got sick from being depressed. I had mentioned this theory to docs over the years, but they either didn't have enough time to try to find out the cause or were dismissive with a ya right - you eat right and get lots of exercise look that showed how much they disbelieved me.

Some of those symptoms can be celiac disease related. I've recently been reading about magnesium deficiencies and increased my intake dramatically. It's improved my sleeping a lot. It is also supposed to help anxiety. This link can show you some interesting info about it.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
