Balance And Falling

Looks like Sherry Lynn's may well have been the first, but others have sprung up. That's awesome!

Just to clarify: Sherry's is not just a bakery. They offer full meals, baked goods and products. Her equipment was all new, never used in a restaurant before. Pristine :lol: No one can bring any food or beverages in--not even the employees. :) No CC here!!

I started looking at the links you provided--thanks.

The one in Colorado (yum)and the one on Cape Cod (YUM again--and I could get to that one, at least!) sure appear to be totally gluten-free full menus restaurants!?

Thanks for posting, Joe.

Hello there

Don't know if i'm too late too reply to this thread or not - not really used to this posting lark or using a forum.

However, was interested to read this as I too have balance issues. Haven't fallen or anything but before gluten free or when cc'd or of course, fallen off the waggon slightly (still learning and occasionally struggling) I get a bit off balance. Very similar to being under alcohol influence! Tends to go hand in hand with being very spaced out so must be a brain issue. I also think bread bakeries affect this too.

As for restaurants - we sometimes go to one my son works for so they are kindly very careful for me but I still get glutened every time :unsure: think it's the flour, etc in the kitchen - that little!!

Apologies in advance if I'm doing anything wrong with the post.

Hello Lady Eowyn,

Thank you for sharing (which is always great)! Hope you feel better soon.

What a great conversation. It's nice to have people to relate to! So many "atypical" issues here that are simply "just" Celiac. I feel like I'm always looking for more answers to fix my fatigue, aches, brain fog... I will continue to do so, but more than likely what I need is time-time to eat good, nutrious food. Time to rest. Time to understand my body and know that "more exercise to get in shape" isn't always the right answer! Some days I can only walk a few minutes at a time. Others more than an hour!

Last night I was teaching/directing my Tuesday night music group (adults)... There was a point in time (happens periodically!) when I just couldn't make my mouth say what my brain wanted it to! Fortunately, they've seen it before and we can generally just laugh about it. It's like oral ataxia...my tongue and lips just can't quite get their balance. :) (yes, I just made that up!) It's funny because most of them are at least twice my age, yet we have many of the same body-is-betraying-me type of experiences. In my case, however, I'm VERY hopeful that it is a temporary condition. What a painstakingly slow process recovery is for some of us!

And on that thought... Never ask the universe for patience. It just may give you the "opportunity" to develop it.

Cheers.

:D:D:D

I often say patience is the only good thing that came out of my years of illness.

I had the speech problem also. I used to be a chef and I had helpers that were suppposed to do my pulls for orders. By the time I could actually ask for what I needed I could pull it myself three times. I couldn't even tell you what a fork was if you held it up in front me. I am so glad that did resolve for the most part after I had been gluten free for a while.

Truer words were never spoken!!! I was always patient with students, children, the elderly....but after all I have faced in the last 5 years, I have the patience of a saint now.

I have a PhD in patience. I have a gold medal in patience...ok, you get it. :lol: :lol: :lol:

      My only proof

      Hi…Just a note that if you have an allergy to sulfa it’s best not to take Benfotiamine. I bought a bottle and tried one without looking into it first and didn’t feel well. I checked with my pharmacist and he said not to take it with a known sulfa allergy. I was really bummed because I thought it would help my energy level, but I was thankful I was given...

      Feel like I’m starting over

      Hello @Scatterbrain, Are you getting enough vitamins and minerals. Gluten free food is not fortified so you may be starting to run low on B vitamins and vitamin D. By the way you should get your mom checked for celiac disease. You got it from your mom or dad. Some studies show that following a gluten-free diet can stabilize or improve symptoms...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      Hopefully the food she eats away from home, especially at school, is 100% gluten-free. If you haven't checked in with the school directly about this, it might be worth a planned visit with their staff to make sure her food is safe.

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      Thank you so much for your response! I have a follow-up appointment with her pediatrician next week, and also an appointment with her pediatric GI Dr. Your message gives me some ideas for questions to ask the doctors. My daughter went strictly gluten-free in January following her first endoscopy so I’m guessing her diet is pretty solid. She is compliant b...

      Hi…Just a note that if you have an allergy to sulfa it’s best not to take Benfotiamine. I bought a bottle and tried one without looking into it first and didn’t feel well.  I checked with my pharmacist and he said not to take it with a known sulfa allergy. I was really bummed because I thought it would help my energy level, but I was thankful I was given this info before taking more of it.

      Hello @Scatterbrain, Are you getting enough vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free food is not fortified so you may be starting to run low on B vitamins and vitamin D.   By the way you should get your mom checked for celiac disease.  You got it from your mom or dad.  Some studies show that following a gluten-free diet can stabilize or improve symptoms of dementia.  I know that for the 63 years I was eating gluten I got dumber and dumber until I started GFD and vitamin replenishment and it began to reverse.  Thiamine can get used up in a week or two.  Symptoms can come and go with daily diet.  Symptoms of beriberi due to Thiamine deficiency.   Difficulty walking. Loss of feeling (sensation) in hands and feet. Loss of muscle function or paralysis of the lower legs. Mental confusion. Pain. Speech difficulties. Strange eye movements (nystagmus) Tingling. Any change in medications? Last March I had corotid artery surgery (90 % blockage), and I started taking Losartan for blood pressure, added to the Clonidine I was taking already.  I was not recovering well and many of my pre gluten free symptoms were back  I was getting worse.  At first I thought it was caused a reaction to the anesthesia from the surgery, but that should have improved after two weeks.  Doctor thought I was just being a wimp. After three months I talked to my doctor about a break from the Losartan to see if it was causing it. It had not made any difference in my bp.  Except for clonindine, all of the previous bp meds tried had not worked to lower bp and had crippling side effects. One, I could not stand up straight; one wobbly knees, another spayed feet.  Inguinal hernia from the Lisinopril cough.  Had I contiued on those, I was destined for a wheelchair or walker. She said the symptoms were not from Losartan so I continued taking it.  Two weeks later I did not have the strength in hips and thighs to get up from sitting on the floor (Help, I can't get up😨).  I stopped AMA (not recommended).  Without the Losartan, a) bp did not change, after the 72 hour withdrawal from Losartanon, on clonidine only and b) symptoms started going away.  Improvement started in 72 hours.  After six weeks they were gone and I am getting better.

To Trents, We didn’t do any of the construction but did visit the job site quite often.  While getting the old house ready we stirred up a lot of dust and I’m sure mold but haven’t been back there for over a month.

      Thank you so much for your response! I have a follow-up appointment with her pediatrician next week, and also an appointment with her pediatric GI Dr. Your message gives me some ideas for questions to ask the doctors. My daughter went strictly gluten-free in January following her first endoscopy so I’m guessing her diet is pretty solid. She is compliant but also reliant on others to make her food (at school and home) but she didn’t have this problem prior to the gluten challenge when she went strictly gluten-free. It really makes sense to me that the gluten challenge inflammation hasn’t healed and I will be asking her doctors about nutritional issues. I ask for anecdotal stories because the research surrounding the gluten challenge seems to be inconsistent and inconclusive (at least what I’ve been able to find!). Thank you so much for your response!
