ARCHIVED Help With Thyroid Test Results Please?
JediMindTricks replied to JediMindTricks's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Cheers gluten-free Lover, My doc said that I 100% don't have a thyroid problem and called be an obsessive mental case and said I should go back on benzo's which is quite an achievement considering how hard it is to get a script for them in the U.K. Serum TSH level - 2.2 mU/L, Normal range - 0.27-4.2 Serum free T4 level - 21.8 pmol/L, Normal range -... -

ARCHIVED Any Tips On Controlling Anxiety And Depression?
JediMindTricks replied to HumanDecency's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think you are completely missing the point. I too question your ability as a moderator and furthermore, whether you are a responsible adult. You seem to be putting words into my mouth, In fact, I am extremely disheartened by your argument towards me. I have not said 'do not take drugs'. I have however said, that they should be a last resort. If Johnny... -
ARCHIVED Any Tips On Controlling Anxiety And Depression?
JediMindTricks replied to HumanDecency's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
If Johnny Q seen posts promoting drug use without any knowledge or warning of the negative consequences that they can have and then ended up committing suicide; I wonder if you would have the same opinion? All my statements are backed up by fact. It's a fact that benzos are highly addictive, It's a fact that the longer you take them, the less effective... -
ARCHIVED Any Tips On Controlling Anxiety And Depression?
JediMindTricks replied to HumanDecency's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think you will find that all people who go through benzo withdrawal (or any drug withdrawal) will give you the same advice including many medical professionals. There is a huge problem in today's society where often the first line of defence is to prescribe drugs instead of trying to find the root cause of the problem. I have yet to see any evidence that... -

JediMindTricks replied to HumanDecency's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think this is terrible advice without any thought to the outcome or consequences that taking drugs can have. Only take drugs if it's the final resort imo. -
ARCHIVED Any Tips On Controlling Anxiety And Depression?
JediMindTricks replied to HumanDecency's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I've had anxiety for the past 10-12 years. I've not left my house for 4 years except for when I must do food shopping. Even then I have to go at stupid o'clock in the morning when it is less busy. I've tried most meds and nothing worked. Living in the UK it was very difficult to get my doctor to put me on benzo's (clonazepam). I had to resort to making... -
ARCHIVED Can't Take Much More!
JediMindTricks replied to JediMindTricks's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Well, I woke up this morning from a horrible nightmare and my mouth was very dry/sticky, my tongue was covered in a white coating and I felt so ill I went to the hospital. The doctor prescribed Nystatin for yeast infection. I'm now thinking that what I experienced in week 2 and 3 was a Candida die off and not Hypoglycemia. It would explain why I felt better... -

Okay, It's been 3 hours and now I feel really depressed and I just had a poo and my housemate said it smells like beer. I haven't drunk any alcohol for weeks. Any Ideas on this? -

I think I may have had my first glutening today. I can't be sure, I'm not even sure celiac/gi is my problem. Can someone please post if they experience the same when glutened? Hopefully it will ease my mind. I had corned beef hash which was cooked in a pan which my housemate cooks pasta in. The pan was washed well and I did eat some yesterday with no... -

Thanks for the heads up. I'll request a copy of all my results as soon as my celiac blood work results get back which I'm hoping is Monday. -

Thanks for the reply . Well FML. After 2 weeks of the worst time of my life, I finally realized I was suffering from hypoglycemia. I couldn't figure out why my symptoms were worse at night. I was getting paranoid delusions about aliens (beam me up scotty). I was eating a fruit smoothie for breakfast, meat and veggies for lunch and meat and veggies for... -
ARCHIVED Anyone Suffered Or Suffer From Asthma/shortness Of Breathe?
JediMindTricks replied to Renegade's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
With the risk of sounding like a broken record . Everything you describe I suffer from. To me it sounds like anxiety. A panic attack does not have to be a full blown episode where you freak out. Very often when I get an anxiety attack I find it difficult to breathe/shortness of breath and feel weak and clumsy. This is not meant as a personal attack... -
ARCHIVED Asthma/ Trouble Breathing After "gluten Attack"
JediMindTricks replied to ravenra's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yep, what I'm describing is psychosis, I have also had diarrhea with lumps of fat in my stools which started around the same time as the panic attacks. I can't tell you if weed caused my psychosis or if it just aggravated symptoms of celiac or if it is totally unrelated altogether. All I know is that some people with schizophrenia have gone into full remission... -
ARCHIVED Asthma/ Trouble Breathing After "gluten Attack"
JediMindTricks replied to ravenra's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I was the same. I smoked for years before I got my first panic attack. After that I never felt the same while smoking. I'd get panic attacks, most of the time they weren't the classic idea of what a panic attack is. I'd get a very uncomfortable feeling, paranoid thoughts, twitches, I couldn't speak because I'd stutter and mix my sentences up which lead to... -
ARCHIVED Asthma/ Trouble Breathing After "gluten Attack"
JediMindTricks replied to ravenra's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I used to get panic attacks when I smoked weed, I wish I stopped after the first time it happened but I carried on smoking. As I posted in my experience; it got worse and I quit when I developed psychosis. I can't tell you what to do or even be sure If what you're experiencing is even the same as what I experienced but I would advise you to be careful and... -

Are you sure what you're experiencing is asthma? It sounds like you're describing a panic attack. Are you experiencing any anxiety? Take a look at the post I made about my experience :- https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/103158-cant-take-much-more/ -
ARCHIVED Can't Take Much More!
JediMindTricks replied to JediMindTricks's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks for the replys. I've only been eating meat, fish, fruit and veggies and a gluten/dairy/yeast free multivitamin since going gluten-free 2 weeks ago. CC is a possibility , I have been very careful though. After years of thinking that my problem was brain damage from cannabis and then for all my symptoms to go in the first week gluten-free, it was... -

JediMindTricks posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I best start at the beginning. I started smoking cannabis when I was ~16, and by 18 was smoking habitually 24/7. Around the age of 20 I started getting negative neurological effects. The first I remember was body dysmorphia but I continued smoking until I was ~22 when I started showing symptoms of psychosis; and finally quit when I started thinking that... -
ARCHIVED Agoraphobia; Fear Of The Marketplace.
JediMindTricks replied to JediMindTricks's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
While a distinction between gluten (specific foods) intolerance and agoraphobia may have not been made at the time, it doesn't mean that people who suffered from agoraphobia were not celiac (gluten sensitive) and that gluten wasn't the cause. As and when the term 'agoraphobia' was coined we will never know, I just think it is a coincidence that for many people... -
ARCHIVED Agoraphobia; Fear Of The Marketplace.
JediMindTricks posted a topic in Related Issues & Disorders
The word agoraphobia is derived from Greek words literally meaning ''fear of the marketplace." Why marketplace? I did a little research and around the time human's transitioned from hunter/gatherers to farmers, bread (gluten containing products) would have mostly been available from the marketplace. This is quite a coincidence. Has anyone thought...
