    ARCHIVED Dizziness

    abbiekir replied to allison's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I too have had bad dizzy spells and am having one now. I have been gluten free for sometime so I am not sure if there is a correlation. I actually am going to have an mri done the week after next just to make sure it is nothing else. Hopefully that will come back fine. Its just frustrating though.

    NOt sure about the other items you mentioned but I could be wrong but I would stay away from the Lipton onion soup mix - for me I get a bad reaction bloating, gas ect ect. Abbie

    Hi Julie, I am not totally convinced that it was the Alexia Fries- I had gone to Ohio to visit relatives and while there I think when I ate out at a restaurant I may have eaten something with gluten and you know how sometimes you don't get reactions for a long time...... So I am going to try to give the Yukon Gold Potatoes a try again and keep my fingers...

    Really? Hmmm I wouldn't mind trying the coconut oil too but what do you use it on? Abbie

    Thanks Rachel I didn't even know that potatoes (processed or prepared) have sulfites??!! that would explain a lot of the reactions that happen when I eat gluten free french fries too. I made dinner for my Dad last week and tried the -I think its the brand Alexia french fries that are gluten free and ended up with a mouth full of sores and some bloating.

    Actually I wonder about the salt thing too- a couple of days ago I ate the Lays Natural Potatoe Chips and I had the sores and then last night I tried the Terra brand sweet potatoe chips with no salt and no blisters? so who knows. I do seem to get the blisters in connection wilth wine so there is deffinately something to be said about those sulfites. ...

    Mine can show up a few days after I have eaten something with gluten. Sometimes they are like a whitish pimple or sometimes they are very clear - like a blister and those most like a blister go away the fastest. I always get them along the inside of my bottom lip or at the corners. Sometimes if I take a q-tip and dip it in peroxide and dab the sore in my...

    Oh I agree and relate so much to what you have said. Maybe I am just not assertive enough or I hate making a spectacle of myself when I go somewhere to eat. I actually have been prolonging my visit to the salon because I know I am going to bring my gluten free shampoo and then I will get the "look" but in the end I know it doesn't matter its just that I am...

    Well it could be a lot of things but clubbing of fingers is one sign of hyperthyroidism. Abbie

    Hi Dan, Thanks for your response from the other thread on Parkinsons I have done some reading on MSG and wow you have me convinced. Then I came across another thread from this site that a member Rachael has talked a lot about her problems with MSG and she recommended the website MSGmyth which was helpful and I may order the book for recipes but what else...

    Ya know interesting that my last period wasn't half as bad as usual (minimal cramps) and I am wondering if its because I cut out soda entirely for about two months now> Maybe its that MSG thing everyone is talking about?

    Thank you Tiffany for responding - what you said makes sense - I guess there is no diffinitive answer for this one

    I don't know if this will even get posted but for the women do your celiac symptoms get worse when you are close to your period and/or are in the midst of it? I can't take the BC pill it made me soo depressed and my hair was coming out by the handfuls Another question does anyone have an opinion on whether to use the all natural tampons that consist only...

    These are really interesting points you have made!!!???!! I am 32 years old and the last two years have noticed muscle spasms-everywhere more so in my legs and butt and twitching in my fingers occasionally. I thought it might be the antidepressants that I have been on for years and years and the tremors seemed to occur when they increased my antidepressants...

    I tried it a few two weeks ago and had stomache bloating, gas but I may not tolerate dairy well. I just eliminated dairy for the past week and i have noticed a difference for the better. I didn't contact the manufactor- did read the ingredients and felt it might be safe (gluten free) but for me it wasn't. I tried to eat it a few days a part to see if it...

    I know this is an old thread but i have recently joined and had suspicions myself that my Dad who was dx with Parkinsons at 45 may have celiac too. He was also an alcoholic and has been sober for 12 years and beer was one of his faviriots thus the connection with celiac. I was so excited that i found this thread. I think my Dad is suspecting he may have celiac...

    I have never heard of Night shade veggies- could someone tell me what they are? By any chance do they cause a DH reaction? Thanks for your help in advance Abbie

    I work at an area hospice as a social worker- perdiem - I use to work fulltime doing hospice home care but it was too much for me. There are so many different volunteer opportunities- sometimes you may just need to sit with a patient while the caregiver goes to church or to the store or sometimes just to sit with a patient who has no one. If you find...

    No I know what you mean about the distilled alcohol I can only drink wine or vodka that is potato vodka and even then I really wonder if I can tolerate any alcohol but wine is always the best in terms of being able to tolerate
