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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
