I too have very similar neurological symptoms and tested negative for celiac. But I've been 95% better on the gluten free diet. I'm on an elimination diet to determine other food intolerances. What I find is that my neuro symptoms come back if I eat something I'm intolerant of. I had no ideas the nightshades were part of that (tomato, red pepper). So...

Me too!! You know it seems impossible but it can be done! I started about 2 or 3 mtgs ago. I tested out nuts and eggs and am ok with them. Here's the positive: 1) I went from 148 pds to 138 pds 2) my energy level went sky-high. I feel like I'm 20 yrs old again. 3) I've been eating really healthy so I feel more motivated to to play w my daughter and...

Never mind. I went to the walk-in clinc and he said its pleurisy. Thanks though!

I'm not coming down with anything. But I guess you are right. I'll just have to try it again. I had an old puffer in the medicine cabinet for my daughter. I tried it and I totally felt better. I never had any other allergies, but who knows.

I've tried peanut butter twice now on my elimination diet. Seemed to cause some bloating but I wasn't sure if was carry-over from something I ate the day before. So I tried it again today. About 30 min afterwards I noticed shortness of breath and some wheezing. Could this be the PB? It could just be something else I'm coming down with. All my other...

Well I have been pretty good. But damn I keep forgetting the little things. Really I think it's only been 5x in 5 months that I've accidentally eaten gluten (2x at a restaurant so no more eating out). The problem is that after going off gluten I've become so sensitive to other foods (like soy and dairy). I was really surprised about tomatoes as I had...

Funny you say that as I'm so sick today. Not sure if its peanut butter or cross contamination. But im thinking cross contamination bc of how i feel (& i used the family PB jar). I know for sure all my neurological symptoms are related to gluten. I also have issues with dairy, soy, night shades, strawberries and almond butter so far. Eggs and white...

Sorry but what is cc? Soy is definitely a prob for me too. Even strawberries gave me some bloating.

Hi! After 2.5 years of numerous MRIs, bllod tests etc (you've heard it all before), I finally figured out my neurological symptoms (tingling, stiffness, arthrtic pain, twitching, myoclonus, vertigo) were related to gluten. 15 mths ago, I had a negative biopsy so figured it wasn't the problem. So I started eating wheat again. Then all the symptoms came...

So biopsy isn't 100%? I thought I read it was the "gold standard". Frankly that's the problem with ALL the neurological testing I've done - most are not 100% certain (eg. blood tests for Lupus, Lyme). The tests just increase or decrease the liklihood. Maybe the best bet is to go on real and true elimination diet or a raw food diet to remove ALL possible...

Just when you think you are going crazy, someone makes sense of your misery. Thanks for the replies. The resturant gave me ground beef with gluten free taco chips for a taco salad. But the toppings were on a buffett (grilled onions and lettuce). So either #1 something could have been contaminated or #2 there could be soy or MSG in the meat spices. I...

I'm 5 weeks into the gluten free diet but now I'm not 100% sure it's gluten that is the problem or at least the only problem. My symptoms were just neurological in nature. All neuro tests were negative so I tried gluten free simply to get healthy ... only to find out gluten might be the actual culprit. Prior to the diet, my stomach was generally ok although...

Thanks! Do you mind telling me what type of vitamins are you taking? I have been taking acidopholus - Ultra Flora Plus - 7.5 billion, Omega 3 oil and B6 Complex all recommended by the naturopath. However I find the plastic capsules irritate my stomach (although it could be the Vit . The very first blood test looked at my mineral/vitamin levels and...

I only had the $60 test too. What is the $125 one and do you know if you can get it without GP's referral? Or, can a naturopath order it? I'm in Canada too. I have spent $500 on blood work for various tests (eg. lupus, lyme etc...) Makes me wonder why these types of blood tests are not covered (by OHIP in Ontario)... maybe because none are 100% accurate...

In April this year, I started experiencing neurological symptoms including numbness/tingling, myoclonic twitching, muscle spasms, occasional trouble walking, extreme fatigue, vertigo, trouble swallowing and more. My family doctor stated all signs pointed to Multiple Sclerosis. Luckily all my tests came back negative for MS as well as Lupus, Lyme, heavy...
