Light Headedness

[mmm]

Does light headedness sometimes happen in conjunctiobn with Celiac Sprue, with Dermatitis Herpetiformis?

[jenvan]

I would say absolutely. ...whether from associated fatigue, anemia, vitamin deficiency... and I'm sure there are others. So, the stort of it is yes !

Yep I had that as one of my symptoms. Wasn't really a prominant symptom of mine but I did get it sometimes. There are over 200 symptoms associated with celiac so there is a wide variety and everyone can get different ones. Some may not even get symptoms. Do you have celiac? Or suspect you do?

Definitely Yes! It does get better over time with being on the gluten-free diet.

Hi, mmm,

I'm sorry if you are experiencing lightheadedness.

People with celiac disease can experience a miraid of symptoms. Many can effect the brain or mind, like brain fog, dizziness, lightheadedness. Phsycological problems as well, like depression. Or worsening of conditions like ADD, ADHD, Bi Polar disorder, schytsophrenia (sp) autism ect.

You can look at the thread on this site for celiac disease and related disorders to get more info.

Make sure you are really completely gluten-free and not getting accidental gluten somewhere. You can also check out the thread on safe and forbidden foods for the celiac.

Good luck,

Wendy

Lots of lightheadedness, dizzyness for me in the dark pre-gluten-free diet days. No longer a problem for me now.

I'm new to this site... I used to get lightheadedness alot before I went gluten-free. The past few days I've been feeling dizzy and having joint pain, very puzzling, since I ALWAYS read the labels of everything I put in my mouth....but for some reason I didn't read the label of the bacon my husband purchased (who's usually GREAT at reading every ingred.)....soy sauce in the bacon! I'm learning everyday about what to eat and what not to eat and learning how to read my body... it's as if I can feel the gluten running through my joints! I feel light-headed right now , there are alot of symptoms, mine are pretty atypical (no-gastro prob.), but lightheadedness is definitely one of mine.
