I voted G.I. issues, but am not going to disclose them because they're quite embarrassing. :huh:

Still discovering my reactions to gluten. I've only been free of it for a month. So far: neuro first then GI. FUN. :angry:

I voted for GI even though I also get some neuro - my GI responses are more severe than the neuro, so that's why I voted GI. I get the runs for a day, followed by constipation for about 4 or 5. Bloating, gas, rumbly gut. Not fun.

On the neuro side, I get anxious, depressed, anti-social and grumpy.

I also get sinus migraines, but I'm not sure which category that fits into.

Boo to gluten. <_<

I'm calling my depression and insomnia from gluten neuro. This poll is getting really interesting...

I first get stomach pain that turns into constipation in a couple of days. The rest is anxiety, depression, brain fog, grouchiness, headaches/migraines, forgetfulness, bloating, slight weight gain, insomnia, chronic fatigue, intense cravings for wheat products...........I forgot what else..........I had gluten yesterday! LOL

I voted G.I. issues. If I stick to my gluten-free diet religiously then I'm fine, but if I give in to a craving and have something with gluten then I pretty much just stay home the next day (at least the morning/early afternoon) because of "bathroom issues." :(

It's interesting to see what others are saying. I have been thinking my foggy brain and forgetfulness was because of menopause, but maybe not???

basically bloating, distention, diarrhea vs. constipation (IBS) stomach cramps.

Also extreme fatigue, spinning head, headache, dry eyes, brain fog. I didn't know if that was neuro related so I put GI related.

I voted other. I have Muscle and Joint pain when I eat gluten. I've been poked, prodded, stuck, Biopsyed and still tested Neg. When not eating gluten I can move and I have no pain or muscle tremmers. This has been a painful 25 years and finally @ 48 years old I live vertually pain free unless something unknowen to me is in my eats.

I get a little stomach pain and fatigue. The one thing other than fatigue that I notice is neuro problems. I can't think straight or remember things.

I'm still trying to figure out if its gluten but so far going gluten free is the only thing that seems to work.

I've been gluten-free for a year and I'm lucky that I've only been glutened properly once. However, as well as GI issues, tiredness, brain fog etc, the longest-lasting effect was a big increase in my word muddling. Weird.

I go 'mental' and I get a canker sore in my throat

I get stomach pains, bloating, nausea, reflux for about the first 12 hours after the glutening. Then it moves into plain old bloating and GI cramping for a day or two. Then it moves into diarrhea and discomfort for another 5-6 days. All in all, I've had a week's worth of symptoms from 2 bites of wheat pasta (accidentally given to me by a waiter). I've also had a couple hours of plain old stomach cramping without anything else after a contaminated pan was used. I don't get neurological symptoms, though.

Hmmm I have equal neuro and G.I

GI: Constipation 1 day, and then diarrhea 2 days. Bloating, acid reflux, grumbling tummy... tummy pain :o

neuro: Anxiety, 'black cloud' depression, paranoia, anxiety, going from mania/hyperactivity on and off with intense fatigue/sloww moods, horrible attention span, visual disturbances, rage

So, this is more neuro for me actually but I put both

I voted both but I don't feel my GI symptoms much, but they do take a lot of damage. The neuro affects are what actually bother me and they are similar to the others listed here. One thing that is very common for me as well is a difficulty swallowing. Like to the point where I have almost actually chocked on food that I can't neither swallow or move out of the back of my throat. It happens right away.

Does anyone get this? Do you think this would fit as a neuro or GI?

I get this. :P The choking I mean. I'd put it as GI not neuro, but next to GI symptoms neuro are the most common.

I don't know why Michael J. Fox hasn't been able to find a cure for Parkinsons, it's right there on his plate.

I turn into a raving jerk! and it's funny (?) how long it took me to realize the connection. (my poor kids)

YEARS.

so, neuro issues: anxiety, rage, hyperactivity then brain fog.

gastro: first sign is a sharp pain across the top of my belly under my ribs....then I know what's coming. then it's the IBS, constipation for a day the D for the next 2-3 days. all the while grumbling belly and bloating and discomfort, insomnia....ugh.

I got glutened 2 weeks ago from a "gluten free" cupcake--from a bakery that I trusted. obvious CC issue, that I alerted them to. I was scared to death to try another cupcake, but I did, this week and was fine, thankfully.

      @Mark Conway, here is an article outlining the various tests that can be used to diagnose celiac disease. By far, the most popular one ordered by physicians is the tTG-IGA.

But almost all of these tests are known by different names so the terminology will vary from place to place and lab to lab. The article gives common variant names for each test.  In addition to IGA tests there are IGG tests which are particularly useful in the case of IGA deficiency.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty! My feet aren’t dry or ashy and I don’t have a rash that gets scaly. It’s like very itchy/burning vesicles that are symmetrical - on both arms, both legs, etc. They actually feel better in direct sunlight as long as it isn’t really hot or I’m not exercising outside, but gets worse if I sweat (especially if the area is covered up). It’s not usually on the outside of my elbows and knees which seems more typical of dermatitis herpetiformis (unless it spreads there). It tends to first hit the inside of those areas. Interestingly, twice the rash broke out soon after eating an unhealthy meal and having an alcoholic drink (I only drink a few times a year, no more alcohol content than a glass of wine).  So I wonder if there is a connection. I’m halfway considering doing a gluten challenge for a few months to see what happens, knowing I can stop if I have any symptoms, and asking for a full celiac disease panel at the end. I really appreciate your thoughts!

      Welcome, @JudyLou, Your rash sounds very similar to the one I experienced.  Mine was due to a deficiency in Niacin B3, although I had deficiencies in other nutrients as well.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption of all the essential nutrients, but eating a poor diet, taking certain medications, or drinking alcohol can result in deficiency diseases outside of Celiac, too.  Symptoms can wax and wane depending on dietary intake.  I knew an alcoholic who had the "boots" of Pellagra, which would get worse when he was drinking more heavily, and improve when he was drinking less.   Niacin deficiency is called Pellagra.  Symptoms consist of dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia, and death (the four D's).  A scaly rash on the feet and hands and arms are called the "boots" and "gloves" of Pellagra.  Darkened skin around the neck exposed to the sun is Casal's necklace.  Poor farmers with niacin deficient diets were called "red necks" because of this.    Does your rash get worse if you're in the sun?  Mine did.  Any skin exposed to the sun got blistered and scaly.  Arms, legs, neck, head.  Do you have dry, ashy skin on your feet?  The itchiness was not only from the rash, but neuropathy.   My doctors were clueless.  They didn't put all my symptoms together into the three D's.  But I did.  I'd learned about Pellagra at university.  But there weren't supposed to be deficiency diseases anymore in the developed world.  Doubtful it could be that simple, I started supplementing with Niacin and other essential nutrients.  I got better.   One of Niacinamide functions is to help stop mast cells from releasing histamine.  Your allergist gave you doxepin, an antihistamine which stops mast cells from releasing histamine.   Since you do have a Celiac gene, staying on the gluten free diet can prevent Celiac disease from being triggered again.   Interesting Reading: These case studies have pictures... Pellgra revisited.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4228662/ Steroid-Resistant Rash With Neuropsychiatric Deterioration and Weight Loss: A Modern-Day Case of Pellagra https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12532421/#:~:text=Figure 2.,(right panel) upper limbs.&text=The distribution of the rash,patient's substantial response to treatment.   Cutaneous signs of nutritional disorders https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8721081/#:~:text=Additional causes of yellow skin,the clinical features of Kwashiorkor.   Hello, @Staticgypsy, I would not recommend cutting so many nutritious foods out of ones diet.  Oxalates can cause problems like kidney stones, but our bodies can process oxalates out of our systems with certain vitamins like Vitamins A and D and Pyridoxine B 6.   People with Celiac disease are often low in fat soluble vitamins A and D, as well as the water soluble B vitamins like Pyridoxine B 6.  Focus on serving your granddaughter nutrient dense meals to ensure she gets essential vitamins and minerals that will help her grow.

I am and wish I wasn't. If there was a detector of gluten in the air it would make a world of difference.
