Hi @Scatterbrain Thank you for your reply. Some of these things could be weaknesses, also triggered by stress, which perhaps have come about as the result of long-term deficiencies which can take a long time to correct. Some could be completely unrelated. If it is of help, I'll tell you some of the things that started in the first year or two...

Hello @Scatterbrain and welcome to the forum I am sorry to hear you have had a return of your symptoms. My first thoughts were that stress can cause IBS-like symptoms - a friend of mine has been suffering a huge amount of stress and when that happens she gets diarrhea. But you say that you haven't got any bad abdominal issues, so perhaps you...

When I have had what I think are episodes of this (I've never had a formal diagnosis for PF) it seems to be triggered by bloating caused by something I've eaten - a friend had an episode of this after eating too many apples, for me corn and rice cakes seemed to give me IBS and trigger this. I am not a medical person but it seemed like the extra pressure...

Does anyone here also have Afib

Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling. My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast. I happened to be wearing... -

Ferritin levels. And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic? You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests. I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial... -

Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know... -

@Colleen H I am just curious, when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium. Might be worth looking into having some more tests. Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused... -
Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

Ibuprofen
cristiana replied to Colleen H's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I seem to recall that my digestive issues actually started when I was taking NSAIDs c. February 2013 for some unrelated condition. My stomach got so sore during that time I went to see my GP and she thought it might be an ulcer or gastritis so prescribed me Omeprazole. That appeared to trigger diarrhea which, once I came off the Omeprazole, did not... -
Ibuprofen
cristiana replied to Colleen H's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I cannot tolerate it at all - triggers burning and nausea, ditto aspirin. Here in the UK I take Paracetamol. -
@Gigi2025 Thank you for your interesting post. Some of what you say chimes with something my gastroenterologist tells me - that he has clients who travel to France and find the same as you - they will eat normal wheat baguette there without issue, for example. His theory was he thought it might be to do with the locally sourced wheat being different...

Broccoli of all things. Chills, extreme nausea, diarrhea - lasts until it's passed through my system. Very similar to glutening. This started to happen to me some years prior to my coeliac diagnosis. Very odd.

Not a scientific reply, but I thought I'd just chime in to reply the first part of your question: how long? Before I started to have gastric symptoms, I weighed about 66 kilos, and in the course of the following months, I seem to recall I lost about 6 kilos. From memory the last 2 or 3 kilos dropped off even when I was beginning to eat gluten free, from...

Update - my Active B12 is 36. Apparently lab results between 25 and 70 suggest a possible deficiency, anything below 25 is a confirmed deficiency, above 70 is normal. I am thinking this could be the explanation for my elevated MCHC. Anyway, yet again I find myself bumping along the levels of low normal by British NHS standards, which isn't great,...
