Ssris

Has anyone on here taken Celexa, an SSRI antidepressant? I can't be too sure about this, but I get some of the gluten-related symptoms: my right forefinger swells up and I have the sniffles/runny nose. I do admit that the sniffles have pretty much gone away (and it IS a known side effect, I looked it up), but my swollen finger worries me.

Ironically, I mentally feel fine. Perhaps just because it's the med naturally doing its thing? I really have been less anxious, don't get as nervous, and it does help some of the brain fog. But I feel like I still get the crazy "highs" in moods, although do not feel as low any longer.

So, I don't know what to distinguish right now. I guess I just want to hear about your experience with either this SSRI in particular, or any others you've been on. And if you know of a gluten-free SSRI, that would be great...

Thanks...

I was on Prozac for a number of years because I have extreme PMS. I gradually took myself off from this because it caused sleep problems and my restless legs to be worse. If you want to look for something more natural, what I have found that helps ME is the Herb St. John's Wort. It works for me just as well as the SSRI's. In fact, case studies show that it works just as well as prescription ssri's for those with mild depression. So if you find you do not like Celexa you may want to consider this herb in the future. The only side effect that I get is I have to wear sunscreen because of the increased photosensitivity that it can cause for some people. I do not take it all the time, just during the 2 weeks prior to my cycle starting and it does make me feel more energized and no fog.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
