Question

I have a couple more questions regarding this gluten-free diet...I did cheat this weekend after going gluten-free for one day, but I wasn't sure what to do since I have to wait so long for a dr. appointment. So yesterday and today I go gluten-free again, but this time I am not feeling the same positive changes as I did a few days ago when I tried it...

I still feel extremely hungry shortly after eating and a bit of bloating (though not so much). I also had a bout of d or urgency (strange since I am always extreme constipation), but perhaps I can relate that to eating so many vegetables? I have been snacking on raw carrots and cauliflower for the past two days, something my body isn't as used to...I know, this diet may take time to make me feel normal again (I don't even know what normal is anymore!! hah).

One question: is heart palpitations a symptom? I sometimes feel flutters from my heart which I am not exactly sure if its palpitations or just nerves fluttering...I have had a couple anxiety attacks in the past, and I used to (not so much lately) feel like my heart was racing, and I couldn't relax or get enough air, but when checked it wasn't so bad and my blood pressure was normal...sorry, does this make any sense?

Thanks for the awsome help here, I really appreciate it!

Be patient - even though that seems impossible. I still get frustrated after 3 years.

The more sugar you eliminate and more water you drink that will help with feeling hungry as your body adjusts. Increased water will also help with constipation too. You will be fine!

I get "anxiety" flutters... I wonder if this is what you are experiencing...

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By Dr. Elizabeth · Posted

      Got so sick from the English muffins as well. I have had no problem with any of the gluten-free products at Trader Joe’s since I was diagnosed with celiac a couple years ago so I was so surprised when I got so sick on the muffins. It had to be the gluten in the muffins because there was nothing else to blame it on.

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By Soleihey · Posted

      @Scott Adams Recently got blood work back and TTG antibodies went from 168.8 to 16.7 and deaminated gliadin was 22 (was not measured the first time). Is this a good start for an 11 month time frame? Just having a hard time with why my symptoms seemed to be flaring up again when my blood work has improved.

      Eczema or dermatitis herpetiformis

      By dublin555 · Posted

      I’ve been through something similar recently, and I know how frustrating it can be when nothing seems to work. Based on what you’ve described, it might be worth considering dermatitis herpetiformis, especially with the family history of celiac disease. Testing could give you some answers, and while online kits aren’t as reliable as a GP, they’re a good start if appointments are hard to get. I also found relief through medical cannabis for my eczema, at Releaf, a clinic in the UK that offers eczema medical cannabis treatment. They start with a low dose, adjust weekly, and track progress through online consultations.

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Jaylan! Almost all of the symptoms and medical conditions you describe have been found to be associated with celiac disease. But they can also be caused by other things as well. There certainly is enough circumstantial evidence in your list of medical problems to warrant being tested for celiac disease. Ask your physician to order a celiac panel consisting of, at the very minimum, these two blood antibody tests: total IGA and tTG-IGA. Please do not attempt to limit your gluten intake before the blood draw is taken or you will invalidate the testing. Incidentally, celiac disease is often misdiagnosed as IBS.
