Gluten Was Causing Schizo Problems


CanineGluten

Recommended Posts

I understand GFinDC,

But i think there are so many open questions.

Like, why did grains eliminate my problems (not eating them).

Why did I sometimes feel crazy even from eating too many carbs.

So, what im trying to say, is maybe im not celiac, maybe its some sort of other issue.

There are just so many theories out there. Like what if a gut imbalance causes this or that. And maybe not eating grains (if u cant fully digest them), your gut bacteria come back to normal.

I have no idea, but i think personally i can cheat, but my last grain free 2 month stretch i never cheated.

Thanks

I think you have answered your own question.  While removing grains you feel better.  Up to you.  Life is so much better when your body is functioning properly.

 

I do not recall if you were ever tested for Celiac Disease -- to me -- it does not matter.  You have found you are healthier without grains which likely means you should remove all gluten.  

 

Again, up to you.

CanineGluten, thanks for making me smile. Your posts are quite entertaining, especially the one that has you not eating any grains but drinking a beer.

I can't imagine trying to eliminate all grains all at once. It doesn't surprise me at all that you keep going back to having them in your diet.

How about focusing on just gluten, which is highly likely to be causing problems for you, but keeping other grains like rice, which would be less suspect ... and would give you the carbs you need for energy?

So that means getting rid of anything made from wheat, barley and rye, and all of the hidden sources of gluten. Think you can get by on wine and tequila until you can track down a gluten-free beer?

And though it is tough at first, doing some more research into what to avoid  when it comes to hidden sources of gluten (such as malt) and ways to avoid contamination can make going gluten free a ton easier and less painful.

Best of luck to you. When you do get things sorted out, Netflix would be a great way to catch up on all of those movies you've missed.

Im now simply removing gluten. Still eating rice.

But doing this 2-3 days and already noticing 100%

improvement.

Medication cant always help so if this is the root

Cause then hallelula.

Just weird how gluten took so long to manifest into

auditory hallucinations. Hate saying that! But

Its crazy.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
    • trents
      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
