I am in entering week 3 gluten free....I have been reading peoples posts about the brain fog. I have had this for a very long time and I am now finding even though my gut is still off balance still bloating and cramping. I have started to notice I haven't had that hard to focus in on things brain fog I really felt like i had fuzzy/ hazy vision and found it hard to focus mentally.

I am glad to say that has turned around for me

I am looking for some nacho cheese dorito's knock offs that are gluten free I tried the baked nacho cheese dorito's " YUCK"

Try taking some B-12 supplements. It will help with the brain fog.

Doritos has several flavors that are gluten free, but I can't remember the ones that are not. Try goggling "Frito Lay - Doritos - Gluten Free"...

I didn't have the typical stomach symptoms of celiac. Long story short: I was diagnosed while in college, but due to enjoying the college life, I never stuck with the gluten free diet. A few years later when my life slowed down, I realized something wasn't right. I was tired all the time, very forgetful, not in a good mood, and lethargic. I almost thought I was depressed.

"Brain fog" is rarely listed as a symptom of celiac. One day I ran across this symptom and looked into it.

I decided it was time to go 100% gluten free. About a month into it, I started to feel "awake" again. A few months later, I was back to "normal." Every once in a while if I get glutened, I find myself just doing stupid things. It is a true symptom and does get better when you stick to the diet.

Hello,

First up sorry I know this is an old post but this forum appears to be the only place on the net that people are discussing the idea of brain fog and celiac disease.

I have had "brain fog" for the last few years. I decided this year I am going to get to the root of the problem, and I am currently following a strict gluten free diet to

see if it is caused by a gluten intolerance.

My question is, if I have a gluten intolerance, how long should I have to wait until this "brain fog" clears up?

The above post suggests 3 weeks, is this an good indication of a time frame?

In the upper right corner, you should see a google box for this forum. Put on brain fog. You should find lots of posts to consider.

A lot of them will tell you that, until your " vitamin" levels come up, you can't expect it to get better.

Eating doritos, doritos knockoffs, or anything processed won't help you get better faster.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
