This is a common celiac disease symptom, are you 100% gluten-free? Do you eat out?

After receiving a gift of gourmet English muffins, I started having severe migraines that lasted for over a month. Because I have a dairy allergy that causes migraines, I looked at what I might have done differently. Because I normally avoid carbs in order to control my weight, I immediately realized I had been consuming gluten. When I eliminated gluten the migraines stopped. Now I am concerned that I will not get accurate test results because I have not consumed gluten for four weeks.

Your concern is a valid one. You should either go back to consuming gluten for 6-8 weeks before being tested or push ahead with the assumption that you wither have celaic disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

I do. Lately, I get a headache about half the days. Mine usually develop it the wee hours of the morning or close to the time when I wake up in the morning. Migraines/headaches are very common in the celiac population. I have penned down some foods that often trigger mine but there are other trigger factors as well for me such as interruption in normal sleep patterns or changes in the weather. I have medication I take after the onset that works well (Sumatriptan) and recently my physician put me on a preventative med called amitriptyline.

I have a headache every day. I have not yet been diagnosed. But I strongly believe I’m positive since my daughter has it. I’m currently being treated for heartburn and see the doctor on May 19th. It sure gets tiresome being sick everyday, doesn’t it? I hope you get it figured out.

I had headaches for days before my Celiac diagnosis. I loved bread. Never knew the connection. Also, some Belgian beers were giving me days-long headaches but I thought it was the yeast or alcohol. All have gluten. Dropped all gluten and that was my first relief! Good luck. It's been 12 years but I remember the pain SO well. My heart breaks for you.

Not getting enough thiamine causes headaches.  

Dietary intake of thiamine and riboflavin in relation to severe headache or migraine: A cross-sectional survey

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36047917/

"We found that high intake of thiamine was significantly associated with lower odds of migraine, especially in females."

And...

B vitamins and their combination could reduce migraine headaches: A randomized double-blind controlled trial

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9860208/

"Conclusion: The results of this study showed that B1, B6, B12, and B9, and a combination of these vitamins could be effective as an adjuvant in treatment and prophylaxis of EM. Further large trials with long-term follow-ups will be required to confirm our results."

 

I used to get several-days-long migraines very frequently.  But since I started taking high dose Thiamine, I haven't had another as bad as those.

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      By ognam · Posted

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By ognam · Posted

      Yes, lots of delicious things have barley malt. It also doesn't include rye. And there are a number of grains commonly cross contaminated such as oats.   Additionally, wheat allergies are different from gluten allergies as wheat allergies are a reaction to a wheat protein. So something *could* contain wheat gluten without causing a wheat allergic response (though realistically,  I don't know how likely that is to occur)

      Although it is true that FDA regulations don't require gluten to be included in allergy info, it does require wheat and ingredients made from wheat to be listed. Of course, that doesn't preclude gluten from barley being found in a product.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By ognam · Posted

      I had a lot of weird/random symptoms for a few months after going gluten free. But eventually they evened out and I felt SO MUCH BETTER. The person above wrote a very detailed message that looks helpful. I'd add don't forget to check for gluten in places like medicine. Advil liquigels, for example, have gluten. It's very frustrating trying to figure out if things are gluten free as us law doesn't require it to be declared. The only labeling rule is that if the product says gluten free, it must have less than 20ppm gluten.
