Vertigo/dizziness After Going gluten-free?

I have been gluten-free for 3 weeks now, and have had a few days here and there when I feel lightheaded and have quick episodes of moderate vertigo, which tend to come and go throughout the day. I haven't seen any connection to eating something that might be contaminated, and have been very strict with my diet so far.

I haven't noticed these sorts of issues before going gluten free, although it's possible I just wasn't aware because I was so off all the time.

Has anyone experienced these kinds of symptoms from other food sensitivities? I've read from other posts that it might be B12 or iron deficiencies, but why would they show up as I'm starting to heal? Any ideas?

I get those symptoms with CC. They could also be due to deficiencies so it might be a good idea to have your vitamin and mineral levels checked. What are you typically eating? Are you eating in restaurants? Are you eating mostly whole unprocessed food? Have you deglutened your home and your toiletries?

Thanks for the suggestions...

I'm waiting to get in with my doc for follow-ups to test my nutrient levels... I have about a week still to go before that.

I haven't eaten at any restaurants since starting the gluten-free diet. I've checked my toiletries and they all seem okay, although there's a chance I haven't recognized some ingredient in there. There are a couple things that might be cross-contaminating me (I accepted a cookie from a friend who tried to make me a batch of gluten-free cookies, and I also haven't yet changed my birth control which isn't on the gluten-free drug list- Reclipsen-- although I don't think it has any actual gluten ingredients so I thought it would be okay for a month). I sort of didn't think I'd be that sensitive at this early stage, but maybe...

I used to have similar reactions to egg about 15 years ago when I was little, so it could be that too. So far I haven't really seen a solid connection though.

Sometime when you remove the loudest voices, you can begin to hear the smaller ones.

Do have a full metabolic panel done to make sure all your vitamins and minerals are on a good level.

As you mentioned, and I can attest, low B-12 and Folic can make you wonder. :unsure:

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
