Hi , Im nearly two years gluten free and I don't  seem have it anymore . It comes on in a very subtle way , you don't really notice it, but over the last few months , I noticed that I didn't have to pause as much as I did before making a statement or answering a question. Remembering things is a lot easier for me now .

Hello and welcome :)

Yes brain fog is a very commonly reported symptom.  Everyone's experience is different but in my case I noticed a lessening of brain fog very soon after going gluten free, but then there was a much more gradual improvement over time.

It may help you to keep a food journal at this time, you can track any responses from your body to your diet.  Did you get celiac blood tests prior to going gluten free?

      Does anyone else have seborrheic dermatitis

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @CarolTN I haven't been diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis but as @Scott Adams says, like a lot of coeliacs I do suffer from itchy skin, and now adult onset eczema. The latter started during one of the lockdowns.  I find my skin is often itchy if the temperature changes from hot to cold or cold to hot, that seems to set it off. This time of year is bad,  I also get an itchy throat, so maybe pollen is having some effect. I am not sure where you live but here I'm mentioning the products I buy in the UK that help me - they may be available where you live? For my scalp, I have used with some success Neutrogena T-Gel, but I think Philp Kingsley's products for flakey, itchy scalps are amazing. I've used the shampoo and the toner. For the rest of my skin, I use something called Adex Gel after I have showered, and then any really itchy patches I treat with Betnovate, a steroid cream, 20 minutes later, as suggested by a doctor. I currently have some very stubborn patches around my waist, no idea what they are - Canesten anti-fungal cream makes them worse, so does Betnovate.  But when I rub the patches, they disappear, i.e. blanch, which apparently classic for dermatitis.  It's a constant challenge! When I first got eczema I had given up chocolate and was eating cakes which contained almonds.  My blood tests showed the markers for eczema were elevated at that time - the  IgE.  I felt there might be a connection. So you  may find something in your diet isn't helping the situation, other than gluten? Cristiana

      Yes it is.  So I try to buy block only, but still watch for it.

      I believe it is also commonly used in pre-grated parmesan cheeses, like Kraft's.

      Question

      By VinnieVan · Posted

      Thank you so much! This is helpful, just to know. Over the years, I’ve seen the scope and understanding of the disease broaden. In some ways, I think it’s remarkable a doctor in Oregon way back then could diagnose a baby he’d never met so quickly. I wish I’d asked more questions!!
