Hello,

I am so glad that this forum exists.

Well I in my 40's and I think I have narrowed down that I have gluten sensitiviy or mild celiac.

Here are my past symptoms.

Carpel tunnel yr 2000 had surgery still numbness in both arms...not any better

miscarriages one 2000, two 2001

ovarian failure age 34

adhd or anxiety most of my life

Gerd most of my life

heartburn most of my life

get gas from about anything...

When I did weight watchers I felt the best - this is when I ate real food and not their processed stuff.

Current issue.

I just got bell's palsy this past December and I still have it so I asked for an MRI to see if I had anything else going on...

Oh by the way in October I had the flu mist placed in my nose because I had to have this or the flu shot for work. I think the flu mist caused me to have bell's but I can't confirm this though.

I have also went to my friends church, Seventh Day advantist and they cook with lots of grains...well I fell so ill a couple hours after I leave there...

I also had an MRI and my Ears nose and throat doctor said that my MRI was abnormal. There were white spots so I am being referred to a Neuro...so he mentioned MS and he also said that it could be nothing at all...I looked up white spots and I came across Celiac.

Well so I am leaning towards Celiac...

Any thoughts!!

All thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello sorry.

I got results from the Ears nose and throat doctor. He just said that my ears nose and throat areas looks fine but he referred me to the Neuro because of my abnormal mri and white spots...he did say that this could mean MS and that is all he said...

I had the test done in the beginning of June. ENT doctor gave me the white spot results 2nd week of June and my neuro appointment is July 25th.

I guess if I did have MS or anything else life threatening I would sure hope that they would get me in right away.

Since I did go to the stroke unit and they said it was Bell's I am wondering if the white spots could have been mini strokes??

Well we will see in 10 days ....

thanks

Hon, yes.....some of your symptoms are very suggestive of Celiac or non-celiac gluten intolerance.

MS is very difficult to DX. It took my dear friend, Suze 2 years to get a firm DX. Celiac is called the "great mimic" because it has symptoms that are very much like other AI diseases. They overlap and so, it is essential that you get a proper diagnosis.

As you learned from the other thread, white matter lesions appear with celiac, too.

I have many neurological symptoms from celiac disease that 4 different Neuros did NOT find clinically "significant" :rolleyes: and I remained unDXed for many years. I suffered nerve burning pain, ataxia, paresthesia, cognitive issues and more. It was horrible.

Have the neurologist do a full celiac panel.

      Anyone Have Dumping Syndrome Related To Celiac Disease?

      I agree, and here is an older article on this topic:

      Rampant decay caused by Celiac’s disease

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      She should be tested for 25(OH)D vitamin D blood level.  Most newly diagnosed with Celiac Disease are disturbingly low.  Malabsorption syndrome causes poor dietary absorption of vitamin D orally and super high sunscreens block skin production.  Hypervitminosis D which nearly every article written warns of, is a very rare disease. Many these days drink bottled water so do not get the benefit of floridation.  I had lots of cavities as a kid and when they floridated the water I stopped getting cavities.  Of course in those days all we had for sunscreen was baby oil and that "don't be a paleface" stuff, so we actually got vitamin D from the sun.  Celiac Disease uses a lot of vitamin D to control the immune system response to gluten, but we don't get enough. Iodine can help prevent tooth decay and gum disease, and may be more effective when used in combination with fluoride.  Get her medium urinary iodine concentration (Muic) tested for iodine intake deficiency.  In the last 30 years iodine levels have fallen by 50% in the United States.

      Toddler gluten challenge and vomiting

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      When my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 1976 as soon as he was weaned, his doctor insisted that we feed him only Nutramigen it was the only hyperallergenic with complete nutrition.  Enfamil and Similac were not acceptable if we wanted him to get healthy.  For one thing they had no  choline back then. Given the lawsuits against them now, he was right. He spent about 6 months on the Nutramigen formula exclusively and weaned off of that to a gluten free diet and thrived. He also predicted that by kindergarden the teacher would beg us to put him on Ritalin, which he took all the way through High School.

      Check the label and tell us what kind of B12 is in your gummies.   If it's Cyanocobalamin, switch to a methylated (active) form of B12.   Some of us need to take the active form of B12 because our bodies have problems turning other forms of B12 into the active methylated form due to MTHFR genetic variations.   Take a B Complex supplement, too, because B12 needs the other B vitamins to function properly.

      Anyone Have Dumping Syndrome Related To Celiac Disease?

      Hi! I've been gluten free for years. No surgery,  but have dumping syndrome symptoms,  particularly if I've eaten a lot of FODMAP foods, or xanthan gum, or any other gums that are in many gluten free foods. You may want to stop eating foods with gums and see if that helps!
