Help! New Symptoms

Hey all, I'm new to this forum and glad it's here. I've been gluten-free for about two months and generally feeling pretty good; but recently I've developed nausea and dizziness, neither of which I've previously experienced. Generally my symptoms are bloating/gas and fatigue. Is it normal to go through an array of symptoms while getting off of gluten?

Also, I've wondered if it could be candida as I've fought off candida before (about 2 yrs ago before I knew I had Celiac) and haven't exactly been on an anti-candida diet (though I do avoid yeast). Any insights help. Much thanks.

The odds of you having a candida overgrowth are less than your odds of having introduced a food into your diet with hidden gluten, or getting small amounts of gluten through cross contamination of a shared kitchen/dishwasher which would give you exactly the symptoms you've described above.

That old Candida can be sneaky and I didn't realize I had a problem but the ND I see tested me for it and gave me some herbs - Kroeger's Candida Formula # 2 and that helped tho I had to double the dose for a few days. I have added Neem leaf capsules and that is helping too.

You could also be having a reaction to another food, either an allergen or something you are intolerant or sensitive to. I ran into that within a few weeks of going gluten free, and had all three. I had the nausea, fatigue, dizziness, etc... But no hives or itching or anything.

If you keep a food log of every ingredient and how you feel, that may help you track down the culprits, if it is another food (celiacs are prone to other food issues, and to develop them later on, as well). I had to cut out a lot of foods, too, so I could figure out what I had problems with.

Also, have you been dating anyone new recently? Lipstick, powders, and makeup typically have gluten, too, so any kissing can get you glutened. ;)

Oh...if yeast does end up as a problem, you may want to be very careful about any medication - some anti-fungals that are commonly prescribed contain gluten and the doctor may not even think about it.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that Dietician appointment. There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3
