I am not sure if some of my reactions can be considered neuropathic. I have recently suffered DH visibly, for perhaps 10 years it was no visible, just that I had a sensitivedry skin and scalp. I also have cold water urticaria, which is a hives reaction from cold and cold water. Neither of these appear to be neuropathic, but I also suffer from the cold generally...

ARCHIVED Began gluten-free Diet And Feel Miserable!
tmb replied to Cath724's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I have only recently gone gluten free recently so am new to the impact when I cheat or make mistakes. I am assuming that the rate of recovery varies to the severity and duration of the symptoms. My stomach reacts quickly and seems to recover (at least superficially) within a couple of days, my skin (the dermatitis hetc reaction) seems to take longer. My skin... -

Is it possible that in eliminating gluten you have also avoided yeast products? Since many baked products and simple carbs are wheat based with yeast, you might also be feeling a candida die-off which is well known. Candida feeds off sugars, simple carbs as well as reacting to yeast itself. Reaction to both yeast and wheat commonly occur together. -

Hi Deb, thanks for an excellent synopsis of GI vs celiac disease. I am new to this forum, so excuse me if I have missed this point elsewhere. Given the difference between the two, how do you confirm which it is you have, if either way you react to gluten? I understand that in order to be celiac disease you must either test positive for the antibodies or...
