Have Been Trying To Stay Away From Gluten- Lump On Back Head

[Serversymptoms]

I have been trying to stay away from gluten, though around every 2 weeks I make a mistake ( also have been trying to stay away from monosodium glutamate). I notice the days I've ated gluten my hiccups return, stomach symtoms etc... Before I go to my main point, since staying away from gluten my hair texture has improved as I've stated before it should. I'm starting to think I could have a thyroid problem, possible?

I have a lump on the left side of my head ( back of head). I can place my hand on it ( as if I'm placing it on my heart) and I can feel it beat, like the feel of your heart beating within your chest. What could this be? My lump is just being ignored, as well as my symptoms.... many think I'm making it all up, my imagenation, or I simply want attention. Though my rash, and other symptoms ( and the visible improvement of my hair texture) is all just being ignored. What do you think of my lump, thyroids etc.... I have many symptoms, some that I have almost got adjusted to and thought it was normal... and came to the stage of ignoring them, but now since veiwing symptoms of diabetes, thyroid, and other celiac symptoms it all gave awareness.

I also question... it seems like when I take vitamins before I go to sleep my body intakes it better/ more. Any ideals of what this could be?

Sorry, by whom are these symptoms being ignored--family, friends or doctors? If it's by doctors, you need to see different doctors. Is it a new lump on the head or has it always been there?

As to thyroids, many celiacs also have thyroid problems. You should certainly get it checked and again, if doctors are ignoring it, get different doctors.

As to vitamins, they're generally supposed to be taken with meals. You might indeed have better uptake taking them before sleep, but you're probably also damaging your stomach. Don't take vitamins without food, and eating just before sleeping is a prescription for not sleeping very well. Better just to take them with meals.

My symptoms are being ignored by everyone, doctors and family. Though now it seems like a few aunts of mines may be suspecting that I'm right with my conclusions, maybe after seeing my hairtexture improve as I said it should once my health improves a little. I'm seeing a physcrist Wensday and my mom completely told me if they perscribe medicine for me "take it." I thought that was just rude etc... since I know it's not a mental problem but health problem. I'm just really annoyed by all of this, I mean some people say well you look healthy to me. Just because I look healthy doesnt mean anything, and I know how I'm suppose to look when I'm healthy. I had the lump on the back of my head since my symptoms started, and that was about 8th grade. Though my original hairtexture switch throughout my entire life, but near end of middle school and throught high school it never came back. One of the best gifts ever is when my health problem is solved.

I had a lump on the back of my head, behind my right ear, right along my hair line. It got larger each year. It was about an inch long. It also pulsed. My dertotologist told me what it was but I forgot the offical name. Anyway, it was a bundle of blood vessels that had grown out of control and would continue to grow. My dermo said if I would bump it I would bleed and bleed and bleed so she removed it. It was very minor surgery. That was over a year ago and it hasn't grown back. It had nothing to do with Celiac or gluten.

Well it could be possible that I could have the same type of lump as you, though mines is in a completely different area. That explains why my lump hasn't been improving since I removed gluten from my diet, though other symptoms have. Yeah, the lump on my head pulses. I will just go Wensday and maybe the physcrist will order me to see a doctor and know I'm not crying for attention, or imagenation.

Oh yeah my lump does have symptoms as well, though I do know celiacs who have a lump and it relates to being celiac.

I should also mention one of the symptoms with the lump is changing shapes
