Stuttering Developed After Going gluten-free?

As I've posted on other threads, I went gluten free with the rest of my family after we realized my son has celiac disease, and in the past few months took it further and we're now doing GAPS. I've noticed many, many health benefits, both physical and neurological. However, in the past several months I have developed a terrible stutter. It happens when I am trying to explain something or ask for help with something that is stressing me out.

Has this happened to anyone else? I thought gluten-free diets usually helped with stuff like stutters (my dd's Tourette's is much better, for example). Maybe my grain free, mostly sugar free diet has inadvertently eliminated some nutrient I need?

I'd like to fix this!

I don't have any concrete advice or knowlege here but I thought I'd mention that a friend's son has autism and I've noticed that he developed a stutter and it actually seems to be worsening since she has eliminated numerous food items. His diet is very similar to GAPS with several additional items eliminated. He did not stutter before she started his diet.

It seems there is a bit of evidence that magnesium deficiency could play a part in stuttering but I can't really find any conclusive articles stating this.

Thanks. I got some other responses somewhere else that mentioned more. I'm already taking drops with Mg and have noticed that the Mg helps with dd's Tourette's so maybe I just need more of that. I also heard that vitamin D and B vitamin deficiencies can be related. I've been bad about taking my fermented cod liver oil but the weather is finally changing, so we'll see if the sun coming out helps. I don't want to deal with the dr re: vitamin B but should probably look into it more.

I would be interested in hearing more about the stuttering and gluten free. I would also be interested in hearing about any supplementation that may gave triggered stuttering. Has anyone ever experienced stuttering with vitamin D or B12 supplementation? It is hard to understand all the symptoms that one can have when diet or supplementation changes. Thanks

fyi I don't seem to be stuttering any more and I have not changed a thing since I posted. I have no idea what caused it.

I ws having a problem with stuttering while I was on glutens. At the same time I was having lots of problems with vit defiencies so some of my symtoms were hard to figure if it was all related to the wheat. In actuallity it was in the sense that body was not absorbing nutrients properly because of the glutens. I still have to be real careful to keep my diet rich in potassium and magnesium.

My husband had a severe stuttering episode that worrie us so much we went to the ER. His potassium and vit D were seriously low. For celiacs, this could just be the body having a hard time absorbing as you let it heal. Eat your bananas and get 10 min of sunlight :) and a supplement isn't a bad idea either

      It's important to correct the B12 deficiency first, replenishing the stores of B12 in the body within organs and tissues. As more B12 becomes available, the body will adjust how much folate to absorb from the diet. Dietary folate sources include leafy greens, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts, and liver.

      Vitamin B9 (Folate): The UL for Folic Acid is set at 1,000 mcg (1 mg) per day for adults. This limit primarily applies to synthetic folic acid found in supplements and fortified foods, not naturally occurring folate in food. High intake of folic acid can mask the symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficiency, which can lead to neurological damage if left untreated....

      Hasn’t been given folic acid as GP says vit b and folic acid can’t be given together which I find strange cos any time I did venepunctures B12 and folate were always grouped together? Her folate level was 2.2, just below the normal level

      So I've been eatin no carbs in the evening and only a bit for my lunch so a big reduction. Well, made no difference, in fact it's actually got even worse. So everything I do makes it get worse. I said this to the doctor. He said he definitely thinks it's a neuroplastic pain condition where I've sensitized my nerves to max volume and now the pain has outgrown the medication max dose even though there is nothing physically wrong with my body. A bit earlier I had violent shocking evil burning nerve pain that made me nearly pass out and want to die again, also noticed this seems to be associated with sudden water retention. I've made hardly any pee in nearly 12 hours and despite drinking loads. Mouth is super dry. I am getting the "correct" sort of this when I've finished the current ones, so not long now. Can only get it on the internet here. Then I can say how it might change anything.

      It's important to correct the B12 deficiency first, replenishing the stores of B12 in the body within organs and tissues.    As more B12 becomes available, the body will adjust how much folate to absorb from the diet.  Dietary folate sources include leafy greens, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts, and liver.  (Avoid spinach due to high oxalates and risk of kidney stone formation.). Folate level should be checked in future just in case Celiac malabsorption affects it.   Thiamine deficiency can be found with B12 deficiency.  B12, Pyridoxine B6, and Thiamine B1 all are involved with nerve health and nerve transmission.  These three vitamins together to improve nerve health better than just one of them alone.  They relieve neuropathy and pain, and improve brain function.  You're being an amazing mom for advocating for your daughter's health!  Hurrah! Interesting Reading: B Vitamins in the nervous system: Current knowledge of the biochemical modes of action and synergies of thiamine, pyridoxine, and cobalamin https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6930825/ Concomitant Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B12 Deficiency Mimicking Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9887457/ Thiamin metabolism in vitamin B6 or vitamin B12 deficient rats https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/859042/ B Vitamin Deficiencies and Associated Neuropathies https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12855320/#:~:text=The neurotropic B vitamins -B1,neuropathies [3%2C 4].

This limit primarily applies to synthetic folic acid found in supplements and fortified foods, not naturally occurring folate in food. High intake of folic acid can mask the symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficiency, which can lead to neurological damage if left untreated. This is because folic acid supplementation can correct anemia caused by B12 deficiency without addressing the underlying neurological damage. Some studies suggest that excessive folic acid intake might increase the risk of certain cancers, such as colorectal cancer, particularly in individuals who have precancerous lesions.
