Symptom Flashback Possible?

Recommended Posts

I have been at this about 10 months. I went through an initial honeymoon phase of feeling like I had superpowers and all my symptoms fell away. Then I started to make mistakes - every couple of weeks - and I couldn't quite shake the symptoms. (I don't get digestive problems - I get back/neck pain and neurological issues). Now, I feel confident that I have learned from my mistakes and am positive my home/kitchen is gluten free and I can't trace anything back to my occasional going outs. I have seen significant improvement again. Still, I get these odd and sudden flashes of symptoms - I will be fine and then all of sudden very dizzy or sudden pain or lack of word recall or numbness. It won't last too long and then it goes away. Can it be possible to have physical or neurological flashbacks as I work on healing?

As you said, you are in the process of healing, you are not healed. So there are bound to be times when you feel better than other times. It's not really flashbacks, it's just that you are lucky to be feeling good most of the time :D Neuro symptoms seem to have a longer recovery period than GI issues. If you are sure you are not getting cc'd from something like lip gloss, hand lotion, toothpaste, etc., or kissing a glutenous person, then just hang tight and wait for them to resolve.

Oh yeah.

If you aren't taking vitamin supplaments, start them. Helped me shed the neuro weirdness. B complex, cal/mag, vit d, multivitamin.

A lot of us report reacting to lower levels of gluten as time goes on. I think that is what is happening to you rather than a flashback of symptoms.

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.
