Late Life Gluten Intolerance Onset

Hello

I am new to the Forum, and reading many of your posts with eagerness. So much to learn. I'm interested to know if the onset of my problem is familiar. I've been healthy and eaten pretty much what I've wanted throughout my adult life. I'm a grandma now, after 3 healthy pregnancies of my own 30+ years ago. I broke a leg skiing about 8 years ago, and was on Vicodin for about a month (bad break -- big surgery!). Looking back, I'm able to pinpoint a sort of heightened peristalsis to the time following that. I just decided it was the new me, and kept going (no pun!) This January I was knocked down by a dog while ice skating, and --again -- vicodin. This time, after the painkiller/laxative combo, i never regained even my old 'normal.' Constant diarrhea, and foggy brain (well, even foggier than before). I read an article that raised my curiosity about gluten, and tried giving it up. Wow! Return to normal, and feels like windex has been sprayed on my brain. Does that story resonate with any of you veterans? Also -- after being 'clean' for a few weeks, a gluten goof (like sauce in a restaurant) is much worse than before. Any familiarity there?

Thanks.

      Joint swelling when ill even on gluten-free diet

      Vitamin D deficiency.  Not enough Omega Threes. Another autoimmune disease like arthritis, maybe.

      @RMJ it makes sense as it’s something I’ve experienced more than once. Currently 24 weeks and baby is doing well! Will be seeking more medical advice today

      Doc says I have celiac, despite no GI symptoms?

      By trents · Posted

      Bright blood in the stool would indicate bleeding down at the lower end in the colorectal area as opposed to the small bowel below the stomach where celiac manifests damage to the villous lining. Are these blood stools persistent? It's not unusual for this to happen once in a while to most anyone when a small surface vessel breaks, kind of like a nose bleed. As Scott Adams said, you must continue to consume regular amounts of gluten if the specialist will be doing additional testing for celiac disease, which could include an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining.
