Do any of you find that an Epsom Salt bath helps a bit?

Oh wow this happens to ME! I was diagnosed in August and I have been gluten free until 2 days ago. My kids asked for cookies at the store. Normally I would make them myself but I said ok to the treat. Well of course the kids wanted one now. I put one in my mouth w/o thinking!! I had to RACE home to go to the bathroom, had back pain and shoulder pain for the remainder of the day. I NEVER thought that it could be from the gluten.

Wow!! I have been getting incredible right shoulder pain, and almost a paralysis of my arm. It's very debilitating. I also get low back pain which I have had for years and always thought it was due to deterioration of discs, according to many doctors and therapists. But I have learned recently since working on being gluten free that it is the gluten and maybe dairy.

Does anyone have any tips for alleviating any of these symptoms after being glutened? I find that if I drink organic oj for the vitamin c with magnesium carbonate to help relax, take bifido pro biotics to get my bacteria growing and eat organic blueberries for the antioxidants, it calms the response. It doesn't make it go away, but it becomes more tolerable.

I get very debilitated from the gluten, with right shoulder pain and arm pain, my arm almost seems to go out of place, and just hang. The right low back pain is very intense, and I cannot stand up straight without incredible pain. The back of my head feels like it is caving in, and sometimes I have trouble getting words out. I can wake up in the night with all of this going on at once, along with intense cramping and tingling in my legs. I will be in a fetal position unable to straighten my legs, and grabbing my hair and pulling on it.

Thank you for this site. I finally feel that I am not alone.

I am curious now to know if my fluctuating tingly-ness...or warm flushing feeling of my left arm may be a gluten reaction. Then slight dizziness/strange feeling occurs after that and by then I've taken an Ativan (which is Rx) and all is happy for me. Sometimes after this I will have what my doc thinks is a panic attack (if I don't pop the pill) which started happening last December unannounced and sudden. But by the time the dizziness sets in I've take my Rx Ativan...and then all is happy for me...literally. Seeing as how I've correlated my panic attacks and being glutened together on occasion, I wouldn't see why the tingly-ness WOULDN'T be from being glutened.

Sometimes it's in my right arm but mostly in my left. Sometimes I don't have a panic attack afterwards. It just continues to feel warm, then cool with clammy palm...then back warm again.

Doc didn't seem concerned that it's circulation or my heart...since there are no other symptoms that could be heart...unless it's my brain, but he isn't concerned about that either.

Why has everything got to be so complicated?

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
