    I get fewer migraines and my allergies and acne are less severe. Also, I can think more clearly.

    Hi, If you search through the forums here and online you will see that a substantial number of people, including me, experience mostly neurological symptoms. Here is a link to one of many articles. Open Original Shared Link I test as negative for celiac and I decided it didn't matter because when I don't eat wheat I can think clearly, more or...

    Sorry about the earlier post - I haven't been on the forum for awhile. I have no idea precisely what is happening with you but I would suggest doing some kind of rotation elimination diet with a food/symptom log to try to get clarity. To start with I seemed to have so many problems that it was hard for me to sort out, like you. Initially I did a three...

    Hi, Actually the neuro symptoms of dizziness and nausea were eventually the most challenging for me. If the blood tests are negative you may still have a different kind of gluten or wheat sensitivity. So two things - you might want to do some web searches on gluten ataxia and neurological symptoms. Also you might try a gluten free diet being careful about...

    I do get tremors in my hands that I can see but not feel - see my discussion of scary symptoms and trust in the process, above. It's kind of horrifying that wheat or gluten can cause symptoms this extreme and be so unknown. The saddest case I saw online was in a psychiatric journal - about a 67 year old woman with 'IBS', visual disturbances, white matter...

    I'm not sure what you mean by not feeling the movement. I got twitching in my legs when I was lying down. I didn't feel it directly but I felt my skin moving against the bedclothes and the bed moving because the twitches were quite strong. What I decided is that some of my symptoms are scary and I wish they would go away faster but I had the MRI and...

    Yay!

    I know you're hurting and sick. You can hope he'll eventually come around but in the meantime could you try something like scratching his back? My husband just really likes to be touched and I found if I got a skin scrubber thing (like for exfoliating the legs or something) and scratch it over his back he's very happy and feels loved and it doesn't tire...

    People list different times but between 6 and 8 weeks on daily gluten. You should check the web to get a sense of how much you need to eat each day. I think, for example, that one slice a day isn't enough to trigger the response. The thing about not getting tested is that, for me at least, as long as I didn't have a positive diagnosis I felt like I...

    Hi CGally81 You clearly have a lot going on and it may take you awhile to get sorted out. I'm going to take sort of a different approach since I noticed that you've posted similar questions in several areas. With all the things you try it can be helpful to write down what you eat and how you react, because it's easy to forget and not be able to see patterns...

    So to summarize and add to the suggestions I see here Hard boiled eggs, wraps using lettuce (or I saw one recipe for a spinach egg tortilla) to hold edibles like a sandwich or pita individual serving size cans of fruits (if you can tolerate them) You could make a preserve like fruit compote....? homemade jerky or other dried meat bean salads cheese...

    It's a pain but for the time being I would just wear the gloves while making the sandwich. I've reached the point where I reflexively wipe down surfaces in the whole kitchen when a family member makes toast and I'm not going to cook gluten pasta anymore because I was reacting to that. I'm think of wearing a mask while dusting, for that matter. It's possible...

    Hi I'm not sure why the leg lifts help me. I am careful not to do too many - less than 15 and only a couple stretches. So here's a technical discussion on why I think it's a muscle/brain stimulation thing.... Twenty eight (?) years ago I was a lab tech for a psychologist studying whether exercise helped rats recover from brain trauma, which it clearly...

    Hi, I am a little confused by your post but since you mention that you feel confused I'm going to take that as a symptom and do a symptom list from what I see in your post confusion fatigue mild constipation stomachache weight loss bad breath ?hair trouble? - your name The symptoms of celiac and gluten intolerance are really varied so you ...
