Healing Process


Debijean

Recommended Posts

I started a gluten free diet 9 months ago. Many of my symptoms (joint and muscle pain, headaches) stopped. 2 months ago I was diagnosed with celiac disease, so I cut all all small traces of gluten I was missing before, like medications. I feel I am doing a good job at watching everything I eat so that I am not getting gluten accidentally.

So with that said, I have been healing for a good 2 months but I have been getting a lot of stomach aches and pains. Does anyone else get this? I am wondering if it isn't due to the healing that is happening. Some symptoms I never got rid of are the fatigue and ataxia. Those haven't changed since I went gluten free, but the stomach pain I never had before. The stomach pain is rather regular, pretty much every day. I did get glutened accidentally once and that was a far worse pain, this is just a constant dull ache type of pain.

I would like to know if anyone else seems to get this pain.

Thanks!

A few months after I went gluten free I started getting really dramatic stomach rumbling that was constant every day for a few weeks. I didn't have any other symptoms of glutening so I just stayed the course with the gluten free diet and I imagined it was my "Baby Villi" growing back. I don't know if it was or not...but eventually it went away as I healed.

the neuro issues take the longest to heal, that said, sometimes they don't completely go away. The best that can be done is to stop progression. However, be for you give up on that, i would try CoQ10 supplimentation. Good luck

Could it be lactose intolerance?

      I’m wondering if anyone has had any experience with the gluten challenge. My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, how long did it take you to feel back to normal? It took about two months before she got “glutened” again but now she’s having difficult coming back from that and has a lot of fatigue. I’m hoping someone has some advice!

      Hello everyone, I was on here a few months ago trying to figure out if I was reacting to something other than gluten, to which a very helpful response was that it could be xanthin or guar gum.    Since then, I have eaten items with both of those ingredients in it and I have not reacted to it, so my mystery reaction to the Digiorno pizza remains.    HOWEVER, I realized something recently- the last time I got glutened and the most recent time I got glutened, I truly never ate anything with gluten in it. But i did breathe it in.    The first time was a feed barrel for my uncle’s chickens- all of the dust came right up, and most of what was in there was wheat/grains. The second time was after opening a pet food bag and accidentally getting a huge whiff of it.    When this happens, I tend to have more neurological symptoms- specifically involuntary muscle spasms/jerks everywhere. It also seems to cause migraines and anxiety as well. Sometimes, with more airborne exposure, I get GI symptoms, but not every time.    My doctor says he’s never heard of it being an airborne problem, but also said he isn’t well versed in celiac specifics. I don’t have the money for a personal dietician, so I’m doing the best I can.    is there anyone else who has experienced this, or gets similar neurological symptoms?

      I was suffering from PF just previous to being dx with celiac disease about 25 yr. ago but have not been troubled with it since. Not sure what the connection between the two is of if there is one. But I do know it is a very painful condition that takes your breath away when it strikes.

      I have dealt with proctalgia fugax on and off for a year now. It feels almost paralyzing during an episode and they have started lasting longer and longer, sometimes 20+ minutes. I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and wonder if the 2 are related. I did request a prescription for topical nitroglycerin for my PF episodes and that has helped tremendously!

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.
