More Sensitive Now?

I thought I was gluten free for most of the past 3 months and saw massive amounts of improvement with every complaint I've ever had. The first thing I noticed was that after a month on the diet, I started eating cliff bars. After a few weeks, I realized this was the cause of my brain fog and haven't had any since. Recently, I've started not feeling my best (constipation, extreme fatigue, muscle aches, etc). For the two days, I've been having salsa on my eggs and I've been feeling bad again particularly with constipation. The thing is, I did feel better from the beginning of the diet and I've been eating this salsa the entire time with a two week or so break before this reaction. I'm going to call tomorrow and find out the gluten content (tomato paste and natural flavoring) but is it possible that I'm getting more and more sensitive? I mean literally this morning, I ate the salsa (on eggs) got a tummy ache after suffering all day yesterday with painful constipation.

As far as I know, I'm only gluten intolerant (self-dx) rather than Celiac.

I too notice more sensitivity to gluten after being gluten free for a while. But, you may look at doing an elimination diet for a few weeks to see if you have any other sensitivities or any allergies. Many people that are gluten sensitive are also sensitive to other foods. The improvement in how you feel deffinately can be worth the time.

I know you said you had issues with Cliff bars...have you tried Lara Bars? Gluten free and YUM!

Sometimes people with gluten sensitivities also get food sensitivities to other things--like the nightshade family (tomatoes and peppers and potatoes) for instance. Mainly I think its due to leaky gut but who knows for sure.

My 12 year old son and I were diagnosed at the same time. We both seem to be getting more and more sensitive and unable to eat things that we used to eat just fine. It has been 2 years now and I'm not sure whether we have seen the limit to our low gluten threshold. I sure hope that we have. The other food sensitivity that we have is to oats. I haven't found a commercial salsa that I can eat.

      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.

      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.
