About Me
History: unexplained frequent abdominal pain plus other directly/indirectly celiac disease-associated problems noticed from infancy culminated about two years ago, 24 years old then, including a massive and severe skin problem which began improving on a strict gluten free diet [and vitamin C! I recommend it enthusiastically!]. Six months later, I was tested immunologically and little to nothing was found to suggest celiac disease [possibly best interpreted as a sign that meticulous ingredients listings monitoring and total avoidance of pre-prepared food is approximately gluten-free]. Confirmation, for me at least, was found in discovering rampant gluten intolerance/celiac disease, frequently also undiagnosed, in many branches of family. I'm here to find information on the workings [and prevention/limitation] of my unusual symptoms, and if possible, help others.

"Gluten Paralysis" Questions

Dreams about horrific protrusions from my skin have ceased with the omission of gluten, so have most of the odd dreams about my teeth falling out or being twisted, extended or bent unnaturally. In my experience, dreams about strange mutilations or damages [especially ones which are inexplicable within the dream's context or its "feel"] often have direct...

ARCHIVED Anyone Recover From Chronic Insomnia After Going gluten-free?
Lz-erk replied to carrieanna76's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
[No known thyroid issues on me.] I've had Non-24 symptoms since possibly birth, definitely since 13+. I went gluten free a year or two ago and have tried orthomolecular solutions, which helped with other things, but no effect on sleep. I'm glad to hear your melatonin's been tested. Were you also tested for circadian rhythm disorders? -
It's been reliably causing abdominal pain. The dose was .5mg of a marked gluten-free brand of melatonin; it's a little old, but nothing in the ingredients raises any sort of suspicions from me. There might be some constipation and odd-smelling blackish stool associated also [i don't know what else could have done it]. It reminds me of the symptoms that...

I quit smoking about... 24 hours and forty-five minutes ago, so this ain't gonna be my smartest post. I couldn't find it on searches of the site though. Sorry if this's in the wrong section. I have symptoms of Non-24-hour sleep/wake disorder. That's usually treated with melatonin, like DSPD. [Melatonin is also great at knocking out the irritation...

ARCHIVED Newbie Needs Help !
Lz-erk replied to Don in Dallas's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Greetings. I was convinced after only about two weeks on my gluten free diet, but my symptoms at that point were uncommon, mostly derm and neuro. I've heard it can be a slow process, and questions on the time and capability for recovery from various levels of damage have arisen. On the slightly brighter side, there are things you can do to speed the... -
I'm undiagnosed, and I'm looking for answers concerning my apparently rare "gluten paralysis" problem, which has been occurring on every gluten exposure following the first couple weeks on a gluten free diet [which I've maintained for two years now, and was vitally necessary and brought profound health improvements, more backstory trivia on profile]. If...
