What Do You Think Of This (My) Case?

[Josef Madfish]

hi,

i am new here

i thought id state my situation and see what you all think

alright...

if i eat gluten: i feel groggy, depressed, really irritable, tired

and something interesting - if i press the top of the back of my neck i feel better

something else interesting - sometimes when i eat non gluten food i get similar symptoms (think, i'm still figuring this all out. as you probably know it's hard to know if the food you eat has no gluten in it)

does this sound like a typical gluten allergy or something else?

i think it's strange that if i press the top of the back of my neck i feel better (lymph nodes?)

any feedback is good

thanks, Josef

Josef,

The symptoms you describe have been found in individuals with celiac or gluten sensitivity--they're fairly common. However, I don't understand how the pressing of the back of your neck would alleviate the symptoms. I do know that gluten has been known to reduce the blood flow to the frontal lobes....and maybe, by pressing the upper part of the back of your neck, you're forcing more blood to flow to the frontal lobes. Just a guess on my part....

Maybe others have better ideas about this...
