Hi ya all..

I did the gluten challenge back in May and was negatove on biopsy so dietian at work (hospital said right your malnourised lets get some food in you. so carried on eating gluten felt ill but thought may be its just malnourished???

Then my skin on my face changed big time when I smile it has fine lines all over some one has told me its massive dehydration since...

any way my family have been very nasty as whilst eating it all I was very depressed again..mum said go on antidepressants tried them felt wierd (maize starch in them)??? any way on the second night on tablets my mum woke me at 3 am said your sisters covered in blood police are bringing her in...I jumped up out of bed was alseep..anhd when looked in mirror my face was lop sided and my neck taught my heart was pounding and couldnt stop going to the loo..number 2s..

I lost about 3/4 a stone..white as a gost..i went doctors next day he said may be bels palsy..but since then Ive noticed I am weaker on right side and my neck really hurts..he said get of tablets as they have maize starch in them you could be cleiac..??? I said dont you start thought I wasnt ..

My hair has been like straw, my skin is so badly dehydrated cant put make up on as it sits in the creases...and my face is slightly lopsided...please if any one can help Id appreciate it..

I had endocrine appointment and thyroid slightly low..so not done any thing about that..

I got back on diet 3 days ago started feeling a bit better hair felt better..but today I feel very fatigued ..heart burn, constipated, dry hair again and skin..big black circles and down..

The only thing I have done different is:

I had fry light oilve oil spray which has E number, litchen, alchahol, olive oile, emplusifier..but says gluten free????

I had gluten free fafel patties which contain yellow peas, garlic, tumeric, salt, herbs and spices but is made by gluten free brand??

Been drinking nescafe fine blend mild coffee???

Sweenters

Brought some vitamins and minerals but the vit c is a liquid made from pure vit c acid ( I do have agressive candida to)????

Ive done something wrong to make me feel like this today and I dont know what ..

Doctors arent helping as they are sick of me and I am sure my face is a stroke mild one as it shouldnt affect your arm and neck!!!....

Ive got dermotology next week so hoping they will help me as parents are trying to throw me out as sick of me being ill..

does any one else suffer dehydrated facial skin really getting me down and the drop in my face...

Hi sweetie pie! I don't know if you really have Celiac or not, but you sound *very* ill and malnourished. :o I suspect you may have WAY more than simple food intolerances here. Please call your doctor and ask him to admit you to the hospital (again?) to get parental nutritional support and rehydration. You sound like you need to be on a IV. Tell them that you will not leave until you get a Dx. and proper treatment. You need full blood work, and it sounds like you are not taking in nearly enough calories. You need to be careful, because if you are cutting out foods you don't need to cut out (besides gluten), you can be hurting yourself more than helping. You may have simple dehydration/malnourishment and/or Celiac, multiple "common" conditions, or a rare illness that needs a specialist.

PLEASE call your doctor today.

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

I agree with Doll. Also want to add that if you are malnourished and dehydrated, you should NOT be drinking coffee. I know, you'll end up with caffeine withdrawal, but caffeine dehydrates you. There is also evidence that it contributes to bipolar disorder, and a diabetic friend of mine told me that her endocrinologist says it messes up blood sugar levels as well.

People don't have face strokes. A stroke affects the brain, which then can affect one side, including neck and arm, and even legs. Did they rule out stroke in your case?

I hope you feel better soon.

Hi,

thank you...

They wont listen anymore to me and parents only listening to doctor. Doctor said bells palsy another said its not bels palsy..but my face is paralisised one side still not like it was but hollow one side and still bit wonky but my eye didnt doop like bels palsy which is why I really think its a stroke. I aslo read that you cant wrinkle forehead with bels palsy and I can. When I went to A&E they wouldnt listen they said bels palsy but head felt like it was exploding and my heart was pounding..I couldnt stop opening my bowels either lost so much weight and my skin has gone very strange. I tried to go gym to help circulation but even with very light weight felt like Id put my right arm out of joint.

Ive got no support and I am scared as I know I have something really wrong with me ..Ive just been to see accupuncture lady going back this afternoon she thinks Ive had a stroke and is going to treat me she said she will take case history and will write to my doctor if she thinks its a stroke. Hopefully this will help as I am worried I will get another one.

I still cant eat all the foods but may be its not celiac maybe I have yeast infection due to another illness..I am very worried about my skin I look so illand feel like no one is helping me as been dotors so much they just dont listen any more..

thanks for your support so you dont think celiac has cause dehydration in my skin ??

      Rice, corn, and other gluten-free grains.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your approach is spot-on—trusting reliable sources like Mayo Clinic and sticking to a gluten-free diet that works for you is the best way to navigate all the noise out there. The claim that rice and corn contain forms of gluten harmful to celiacs is indeed a misconception. While these grains do contain proteins that may technically be referred to as "glutens" in a broader scientific sense, they are structurally and functionally different from the gliadin found in wheat, which is the specific protein harmful to those with celiac disease. Scientific research overwhelmingly supports the safety of non-contaminated rice and corn for celiacs unless there’s a separate sensitivity or allergy involved. Some opinion pieces or alternative health sources may blur the lines by conflating these proteins, which can cause unnecessary worry. You're absolutely correct to focus on the distinction between scientifically validated information and anecdotal claims. It's also important to note that some people with celiac disease may develop sensitivities to other grains over time, but this is individual and not a universal rule. If you’re asymptomatic and thriving on a diet that includes certified gluten-free products with rice and corn, there’s no reason to change what’s clearly working for you. The internet is a breeding ground for well-meaning but misguided advice, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Your instinct to validate claims through reliable research is exactly the right way to go. Keep enjoying your gluten-free meals, stick with trusted certifications, and don’t feel pressured to adopt restrictive diets that aren’t backed by science or tailored to your specific needs. Happy New Year to you too!

      Enegy level extremely low

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Healing and regaining energy after a celiac diagnosis can be a frustratingly slow process, but you're not alone in feeling this way! Everyone's healing journey is different, and factors like age, how long celiac was undiagnosed, and the extent of intestinal damage can all play a role. In general, villi can begin to heal within a few weeks to months after starting a strict gluten-free diet, but for some adults—especially those diagnosed later in life—it can take a year or more to see significant improvement. Studies suggest that older adults may heal more slowly, but it does happen with consistent gluten avoidance. Since you're already taking iron, vitamin D3, and a multivitamin, you're on the right track. Here are a few additional tips that might help: Be Patient with Your Body: It’s hard to wait, but healing takes time. Track your progress in small ways—maybe energy levels on a scale of 1-10 each week—to notice gradual improvements. Check for Other Deficiencies: Sometimes celiacs have trouble absorbing other nutrients, like B12, magnesium, or zinc, which can also affect energy levels. Your doctor may want to test for these. Consider Other Conditions: Fatigue can be linked to other issues like thyroid problems, adrenal fatigue, or even sleep disturbances, which can sometimes occur alongside celiac disease. It might be worth discussing this with your healthcare provider. Stay Active, but Pace Yourself: Gentle exercise, like walking or yoga, can help improve energy levels, but don’t push yourself too hard—listen to your body. Hydration and Balanced Meals: Make sure you're drinking enough water and eating a balanced gluten-free diet with plenty of whole foods. Sometimes highly processed gluten-free products can leave you feeling sluggish. Remember, healing isn’t just physical—it’s also mental. You’ve made a huge, positive change by going gluten-free, and your body is working hard to repair itself. It’s okay to feel impatient, but know that you're moving in the right direction. Hang in there—you’ll get there!

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Lotte18 · Posted

      Hi Scott, I thought I'd be like "most people" and could go back to having dairy once my villi had healed.  But after dealing with neurological problems that cropped up long after my gut had healed it turned out that this just wasn't true.  I have no idea if celiac influences pancreatic enzyme production or if it's the other way around--for some of us-- but there is a very real relationship that isn't being discussed with patients.  The article just reiterates information that can mislead you if your real problem is pancreatic not villi related.

      Welcome to the forum, @Amyinwyoming! Answers to your question that you might receive may not be helpful to you as an individual since sensitivity levels vary significantly within the gluten sensitive/gluten intolerant/celiac community. The other complicating factor is that low levels of gluten in a product may not cause obvious symptoms but may still generate low level inflammation in the small bowel. When in doubt, it is best to pass on the product. I'm not a particularly sensitive celiac so I might allow myself to eat something at a guest's house that was made from a food product with the kind of disclaimer label you describe but I typically shy away from buying them or consuming them when I have a choice.
