Hey I Had A Headache

and it is gone. for 3 days running! this is, like, the eight thousanth painful/uncomfortable/annoying/freaky thing that has gone away. i didn't even know i had it! and neck pain has been soooo much better. it's amazing what you can learn to live with as 'normal' :( also, 'baby hair' growing back on my head (you know, that little layer of new hair...! ) also, got a cold and my BODY fought it OFF instead of having it turn into pneumonia. i am so scared to be hopeful if anybody can relate to that. could this be my new deal??????? feeling awesome??????? not freezing to death in 60 degree weather? what??

i feel like i am shedding layers of sludge. i am afraid this is too good to be real?

I'm happy for you that you are feeling well. It truely is wonderful to wake up one morning and say "wow I feel good."

Yea it's for real. Amazing how many things improve that we would never think of as connected. Glad to hear you are healing well.

I didn't know how sick I was until I got better. It is amazing what we can think of as normal.

Those are my sentiments exactly. And the perma-headache... I had that, too. It was the first thing that went away and I thought, WOW! There's hope that I might actually feel better one day.

:) Love your post.

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:
