ok.. so I am about 6 weeks gluten free- had lots of weight loss/bowel abdominal issues the two months before diagnosis ... and then wierd neuro symptoms- peripheral neuropathy etc... Anyhow my bowel issues have resolved for the most part.. but I ate some gluten free choc chip cookies last night (from pamelas mix in the purple bag) and I had one this morning too - suddenly I feel drunk! Disoriented, can't walk straight (ataxia) I have had peripheral neuropathy with numbness and some weakness.. but the numbness had resolved the past 3 days until last night it returned and now my arms legs and even trunk are totally numb!!!! tingly a little, but I coudln't even tel that my hand was in hot water earlier!!

ANyhow I was reading about the neurological/ celiac ataxia stufff. looks like caisen is a problem with a lot of neuro affected celiacs... I have been avoiding dairy, but didn't even realize I did put a stick of butter into the cookies... does butter have caisen in it??

Sorry for the mispellings I'm sure i've made- as I said I feel intoxicated and very disoriented! So strange!!!

Unless it was non-dairy butter, yes.

Butter is made from milk. Most margarine that you buy from your typical store will contain milk as well.

Butter gets me. I keep thinking it's safe because a lot of people who can't handle lactose can still handle butter, but I've learned the hard way that for me it's casein. I can feel very very drunk from dairy.

How long does that drunk feeling last for yall?? I ate some cookies last night before bed and one as a dessert for breakfast haha ( I used to eat gluten filled cookies first thing in the morning along with breakfast- guess it wasn't helping my situation out any huh?) I felt awful for a good 8 hours today- drunk, disoriented feeling and then a headache to top it off.. My whole body felt more numb and tingly than normal (usually its just my arms and legs fro the neuropathy).. how long does it last for yall?

yes butter has casein. it makes a difference if the issue is casein or lactose or some other issue. careful with non-dairy cheese options many still have casein in them. even vegan ones which makes no sense to me. daiya is a good option if you can have yeast. for milk i like almond milk another option is rice milk i would not do soy since it is a common allergen and can be problematic for people with thyroid problems/ hashimoto's and those with celiac's. for ice cream there is a great one made with agave nectar and cashew butter. another option is the coconut milk ice cream - the chocolate is great but the vanilla has very strong coconut flavor which is not my thing. for yogurt the almond milk almonde brand is my favorite. the coconut one is good especially for unique flavors. there is also rice milk yogurt but i did not really care for it. i have never been big on using butter so i am not sure of a good substitute for it.

i have not had that drunk feeling so i cannot say how long it lasts.

best wishes!

Here's one example. I was eating out with my daughter and ordered grilled salmon. Don't know why I assumed it would be grilled with olive oil, but shame on me for not clarifying. Anyhow I realized it was butter but kept eating anyway. By the end of the meal I felt like I'd had a couple of glasses of wine. That lasted the rest of the night and the next morning my eyes were almost swollen shut (so must be allergy and intolerance I'm guessing). I felt really run down that day. I took a Claritan and I was feeling much better the next day. Hope that helps.

I would say that at 6 weeks gluten-free, that's not enough time to start experimenting with fancy foods like chocolate chip cookies.

Start again and keep to the basics (vegetables, unseasoned meat, rice, fruit if you can).

Fun? No. The right thing to do? I think so.

Talk to your doctor about the need to supplement with vitamins. If you have celiac, your intestines' ability to absorb vitamins and minerals has decreased. If you have modified your diet to go gluen free, I would guess that you are eating much less of the fortified foods that you used to eat (cereals, flour, etc.)

Best of luck.

I've never made cookies from a mix so have no clue whether those specific chocolate chips contained casein - milk chocolate indeed can! Another thing to watch out for. However, if you really crave chocolate chip cookies, they are incredibly easy to make from scratch - that way you can use Earth Balance fat (I haven't but others have) and see if you can find some safe chocolate (unless Pamela's are).

You know what? After being gluten free for six months I began experiencing severe D, etc. and assumed I was lactose or casein intolerant so I avoided it for awhile. Recently my doctor told me I had an intestinal bacterial infection, was put on antibiotics (and doubled my probiotics) and those issues have resolved. I feel sooooooo much better. And I have actually been able to easily eat dairy again! YAY!

Thank yall so much!!! I now see that I do need to avoid any processed foods for a while I guess... I had a horrible 3 days, and turns out not only the cookies but I was eating some chicken pattie things that were pre-made turns out they had gouda cheese in them!! I'm just happy I finally figured out why I was feeling bad again! Does anyone else twitch and get muscle cramps badly with all of this??

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self.

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
