Gluten Ataxia Attack

Hi folks, I am just coming out of an ataxia attack, knowing I have not touched gluten. I had to take another round of Azithromycin for my gums. I had just a week previous to that started on a large amount of Probiotics for the yeast overgrowth I was already having. On day 5 (last day of antibiotic pak) I came down with the worse case of ataxia yet. I couldn't stand on my own for 2 days and had all my other neurological symptoms as well. Scared the _____ of of me!

I read up on the "Yeast Die Off" info as well as the Antibiotic side effects. I also read that the yeast's outer cell shell gives off a protien similar to gluten and can cause a gluten reaction.

What do you think? Think it was to whole thing combined? My father and brother have gone off the deep end and think it's the water from my well now, but I really think it's this yeast mess.....

Are you absolutely postive that antibiotic was gluten free? If it was generic just because it was gluten free before when you took it doesn't mean it was this time.

Ya, it was gluten free. I had just recently had an attack before the antibiotics too. I am sure I ate no gluten. Sorry it took me so long to respond. I did not get emailed for some reason. Still slowly coming out of it now.

      Waiting Too Long to Brush Teeth after Gluten

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @StrongerThanCeliac, Not insane.  Misdirected, maybe. The digestive enzymes in saliva and the bacteria in the mouth probably digest all the gluten before then.   More likely, it takes that long for your histamine level to come down.  Histamine is released by mast cells as part of the reaction to gluten.  Vitamin C, B12, and Thiamine (Benfotiamine) are good antioxidants which can help lower the inflammation.   When I get glutened, I like having  hot tea with a couple of whole cloves in it.  Cloves contain Eugenol, an anti-inflammatory oil, that can calm the immune response.  You can chew up and swallow the cloves which will have some antibacterial action in your mouth, and be calming to the digestive tract.   Hope you feel better soon!

      Ground meat absolutely full of gluten?

      By glucel · Posted

      Flavorings usually identified but don't know if there are laws that govern that. I bot lamb shanks that had rosemary flavor but did not see anything else that might be a grain so I ate it. I eat tons ground beef usually organic and grass fed from aldi. Not identified as gluten-free but hopefully it is. On the other hand I would only eat hot dogs which has several ingredients if identified gluten-free.

      Absolutel liquor

      By Doug1229 · Posted

      All liquor that has been distilled are gluten-free because the liquor is captured from evaporation. Gluten is a heavy protein that will not evaporate make it safe for all celiac’s. cheers!

      Ground meats can contain flavorings and fillers. You must look for the gluten-free symbol on the packaging. I use Jennie-O brands which are marked gluten-free.

      Gluten Free ADHD medications

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      I take Clonidine for blood pressure control.  It is the only one that did not debiltate me.  It also helps with my ADD.  Doctors always turned me down when I requested Ritalin (I am an adult) so it turned out for the best that I reacted badly to all the different BP meds they tried. Originally Clonidine was developed for ADHD adolescents that could not tolerate Ritalin.
