Headaches!

Hello, I am newly diagnosed and have been gluten-free for 3 weeks now! Being diagnosed with this has really changed so much for me. For starters, I am finally learning to take time to prepare healthier foods for myself and my family! I have spent more time in the kitchen in the last 3 weeks than I think I ever have! I am really trying to stay very positve about this and more health conscience! However, a few days after starting the gluten-free Diet I have been getting whopper headaches in the evenings! I have never had a problem with headaches. Did this happen to anyone else? I wonder if I am deficient in something or if my body is stressed? I see my doc in two weeks for a check up, but I may go sooner. Just wondering. I really appreciate all of the information all of you share!

It happens to a lot of us. It is often part of the detox cycle our bodies go through when we go gluten free. For most of us, this period doesn't last longer than a few weeks. Make sure that you are not letting your sugar get down in the afternoons and that you are completely gluten-free. It should go away shortly. If not, check in with your doctor. The only time we get them any more is if we go for long periods without eating or if we get accidentally glutened.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that you may also find your sinuses getting yucky as well while your body reacts to the change. Rinse them out twice a day with a solution of 8 oz of warm water with 1 tsp salt and a pinch of baking soda. It will keep them from getting infected without having to take additional meds. The allergist swears by it and after using it for a couple of years now, so do we.

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      Check out Sally K. Norton’s work on oxalates. She wrote a book called Toxic Superfoods. Your symptoms are similar to some of mine. Many of us with celiac disease have oxalate toxicity because of the damage to our guts. Oxalates chelates our minerals and calcium binds to oxalates. At least check out her website, it may help a lot. Good luck.

      The study you posted was done by the USDA. Not much more needs to be said about that. It only tested for one type of parasite. There are many types of parasites that are typically only found in meat. I have tried all different kinds of dairy - whole, nonfat, skim, etc. I cannot eat any dairy, no matter what kind. I have wondered about iodine. Some people...

      Help with results please. As I have a appt after the New Year.

      My blood tests didn’t show I had Celiac’s but the endoscopy did. The test is easy and you feel nothing after, it’s basically like taking a nap. The worst part is getting the IV, which is pretty easy and basic, hopefully this helps!

      How many grams is there in one slice of wheat bread?

      Hello! I'm doing a gluten challenge now. I don't know how much bread to eat. There are 4-6 slices of bread a day suggested in most articles. But one slice of bread can be 25 grams or 40 grams. So when it's 25, six slices are just 150 grams. When it's 40 grams, six slices are 240 grams. The difference is huge in my opinion. Can someone recommend...

I have wondered about iodine. Some people claim it makes them break out more, especially with celiac. I have been toying with my diet for decades now. I am 46 years old, and have known about celiac since my early twenties. I will keep you guys posted about the Skinesa. Usually after about a week I start breaking out on probiotics. It's been 3 days so far and everything's good. I'm on Dapsone also. I appreciate all the feedback.

      In what way? Skinese:  You paid for it, might as well try.  They are the usual mix and is gluten free. "Free of milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, gluten, and soybeans. Contains no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives."   Are you using whole milk yogurt or the no fat yogurt.  The no fat has varius ingrediEnts to mimic fats texture but some people react to the  gums used.   Sibo: Foods that do not contain carbohydrates or fiber do not usually cause problems. This includes meats (beef, pork, lamb, venison); poultry (chicken, turkey, duck); fish and shellfish; eggs; and butter, oils, and hard cheeses. Stonyfield Whole milk yogert, I think, is the only one with lactase for lactose intolerance.  Naturally Fermented Pickles [The Complete Guide] For your skin health you need dietary iodine intake around 500 to 1000 micrograms a day.  I take Liquid Iodine 500 mcg a day.  It is the amount I ate daily in the 1960/s before they stopped using it in bread.  Since 1970 the daily intake of iodine has decrease 50%.  50 mcg/drop in the brand I use.  The dose used to prove Wolff-Chaikoff Effect was upwards of 11 grams The USDA lists the safe range from 125 mcg to 1000 mcg (1 gram).  Japanese say 3000 mcg is safe.  Look at tradition japanese hair, skin, and their childrens intellegence.  They must be doing something more right than us.
