I have been gluten free for a little over a year. Recently I have been having more "attacks" then usual and don't know exactly what to do for the pain? I try hot baths, heat, pain killers and nothing helps. I need advice because it is getting embaressing now because it is happening at work, then I have to leave work (making more then one stop on the way home) and then miss a day and don't know what to do ,I am becoming tired and annoyed, I had one doctor try to put me on glutens again just to retest me. I need help!! I am getting angry and mad and I just want to scream , I know thats not the answer. Does anyone out there have any advice.

Why on earth would a doctor have you ingest gluten???? :blink: What purpose would that serve? I hope you do not consider this!

What may be provoking your "attacks"? You may need to give us a bit more info. I assume you mean bowel issues and abdominal pain?

Are you being glutened somehow? Are you ill?

What sort of " attacks"? Could it be your gall bladder? Appendix? Ulcer? Menstrual issues if applicable?

Is there anything that changed before the attacks started to happen? A new script med or a refill of a generic? A new supplement, toiletries, has something in your diet changed like going to more restaurants or eating more processed foods? Are you doing home remodeling that includes wall paper application or removal or drywall work? A new hobby that uses glues or pastes? A new significant other who eats gluten?(they need to brush their teeth before any kissing) A job change into someplace that uses flour or other gluten substances?

A new significant other who eats gluten?(they need to brush their teeth before any kissing)

Oh wow! I never thought of that! My husband will definitely be brushing his teeth more often! lol

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
