Awful Headaches

I've been officially gluten free since 4/20. I started gluten free in early January but had to do a challenge for the bloodwork and endoscopy. I was feeling a lot of improvement before the gluten challenge with no withdrawal symptoms. Now abut 6 weeks into being 100% gluten free I'm feeling terrible (awful sinus headaches, and nausea seems to be coming back).

I'm taking calcium and B12 as these are the 2 that showed "low normal." I was iron deficient when tested back in November (which lead me to celiac testing) but it was back in normal ranges with bloodwork done in April.

Are headaches normal during healing? I did not have these headaches when I first went gluten-free. My endoscopy did show sub-total villous atrophy. I was so encouraged based on improvements early on but I'm definitely getting discouraged now and really hoping this isn't a sign of another intolerance.

Have you removed dairy? It can be a temporary secondary intolerance for celiacs and may cause headaches as well.

Healing is an up- and- down road for a while after DX.

Hope you see an improvement soon.

Hang in there!

No, I'm still eating dairy. Maybe I'm in denial but I've felt so bad the last couple days it sure sounds like it's worth a shot.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
