Brain Fog

I am an undiagnosed gluten sensitive person - blood tests came back negative, no severe GI symptoms. But I do have malabsorption, skin problems, neurologic symptoms, fatigue, and depression. I am 1 year gluten free. What I'm noticing lately is that my brain fog is back. While I am not crazy careful about my diet, I do my very best to be completely gluten free. I live alone, so there is definitely no gluten in my house - I cook my own meals 90% of the time and only go to restaurants with dedicated gluten free menus (i.e. P.F. Chang's, Outback, Jason's Deli, etc). I was eating a bit more carbs in the past couple of weeks, so I'm trying to cut down on that. I have had problems with yeast in the past and I have a feeling that is what is causing this. My question is, is there there anything that will get me past this brain fog stage faster? My coordination is terrible and I just feel "out of it" all the time. As an example, it is taking me twice as long to type this because my fingers just won't seem to find the keys correctly (I normally type over 50wpm). I forget things constantly and it's starting to really impact me at work (I'm in a new job and being forgetful is just not a good thing when you are trying to impress a new boss). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Happy Wednesday everyone!

I like virgin coconut oil for yeast, and a good probiotic. You also might ask your Dr. about checking your thyroid.

I too love the coconut oil. I can eat that stuff by the spoonful (but I don't, well, not often). I had some brain fog early on, among other gluten sensitivity symptoms. My endo MD suggested magnesium, B-12 and B-complex supplements, in addition to GFCFSF diet. I am not sure which of those three helps the brain fog (perhaps the B-12 because it says for nervous system health) but the combo has definitely worked for me. Good luck!

Do you take any supplements? There might be something in one of them contributing to the brain-fog?

The brain fog might go away with a cleaner diet. That worked for me.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      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

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      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.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      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.
