yesterday all of the sudden got weak, heavy legs, tingling and dizziness that I had to lay down.

Had problem with sleeping all night. Don't recall I ate something suspicious except the cacao on which was written "prepared on same equipment as wheat food.."

Is it possible such symptoms because of celiac disease?

I'm still not sure if I have it, waiting for blood tests.

Yes, you can havuch symptoms from gluten.

In fact, DD just got glutened some days ago with symptoms like that.

You are in the process of getting diagnosed?

In that case, You still need to eat a lot of gluten, like abo at least 0,3 grams of gluten per kg of body weight, shluld be about 21 grams if You weigh 70 kg.

Its also possible for delayed or recurring symptoms.

When i went 100% gluten-free I realised I can have a episode from gluten eaten a few weeks before I thought had been cleared out.

I had a friend who had seizures from gluten. At one point she got so paranoid she stopped eating some days and still got seizures...

A while later we decided the most probable reason was her body tucked away the toxin until she was literally eating herself .... and then the toxin (gluten) got released.

Yep that sounds about right. I get weak and dizzy when I get glutened as well as stomach symptoms and fatigue.

I have quit eating almost all processed foods because you just can never tell where they have been made and cross contamination is a really big problem. I'm sorry you are having a rough time. I hope you feel better soon.

thanks guys,

is this also possible that even I didn't eat any gluten I still get symptoms during intestine healing period,

as a side effect or kinda therapy crisis?

One thing I have learnt with celiac disease is that anything is possible. Symptoms differ greatly between patients and your body does all kinds of weird things that you don't expect it to. However, in your case it sounds like a cross containation issue, if like you said, you ingested something that was processed on the same equipmet as wheat products the this is likely to be the cause of your reaction.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      Jason, I have a bone to pick with your terminology. There is "gluten intolerance" which I believe is synonymous with celiac disease and then there is "gluten sensitivity" which comes from Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or NCGS for short. It is true, however, that there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms.

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      I can’t say this will work for everyone but for me the difference is incredible so might be worth trying. I’ve never been diagnosed celiac but via an elimination diet I realised I can’t eat any lectins, gluten soy and oats are particularly problematic. If I eat them I’m in bed for a week, then heavy bleeding and extreme pain for another, followed by a third week of bleeding on and off. My skin was a mess and it snowed when I brushed my hair. Since taking reishi and cordyceps mushroom tincture I can’t believe the difference, I’ve had a lot of help from this site so I want to return the favour. I took the tincture for my guts but the most apparent effect is that I feel like my brain works again, I can’t begin to describe how wonderful it is to be able to achieve basic things, I’ve barely been able to organise getting out of bed for so long, it feels like I haven’t been hit over the head with a mallet for the first time in years. Then I glutened myself, not necessarily gluten as so many things wipe me out but definitely ate something I shouldn’t have, I took a treble dose of the tincture and almost immediately felt much better so continued with the increased dose and three days (not weeks) later was back to feeling great, no bleeding involved. My skin is better than I can remember it ever being, I feel great 😊. I spend £1.50 a day on these but it’s worth every penny, I hope this helps someone else out there reading this. I wish I’d known about them 20 years ago. best wishes everyone 🍄

      Endoscopy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Given your history of a high TTG (167) that decreased to 16 on a gluten-free diet, along with genetic confirmation of celiac disease, it’s likely the negative biopsy is a false negative due to not eating gluten before the endoscopy. Gluten is necessary to trigger the intestinal damage seen in celiac disease, and avoiding it can lead to healing and a normal biopsy despite ongoing immune activity (reflected in your still-elevated TTG). The inflammation observed during the endoscopy (“diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa”) could be residual damage, mild ongoing inflammation, or another condition like peptic duodenitis, but it’s consistent with celiac disease in context. Continued positive blood markers suggest ongoing gluten exposure, possibly from cross-contamination or hidden sources. Strict adherence to a gluten-free diet and follow-up testing are key to managing symptoms and reducing inflammation. Discuss these findings with your doctor to confirm the diagnosis and refine your dietary approach. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Yes, it sounds like great progress, but what was the time frame between the two endoscopies?
