Loss Of Appetite - Glutened?

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced loss of appetite as a result of being glutened. I'm not nauseous and my digestive symptoms have been pretty mild, but for the past several days I just feel disinterested/vaguely turned off by food. Sometimes I will feel hungry, but at the same time want nothing to do with food.

It's been several days... don't know whether to blame this on the evil G or if I'm coming down with something. I could've been hit over the weekend - I ate out several times.

Yes and this is the second or 3rd time I lose my appetite for the last 8 months. However, I don't how I could have been glutened but I am very tired. The stiffness and weak muscles are back. I am also very depressed and with 0 appetite for the last 2 days. I have a bitter taste in my mouth. I don't even want to eat my favourite foods :( I introduced some milk just for my caffeinated drinks about a week ago and I used evaporated milk for that. I stopped yesterday. Another area of trouble could be my shampoo and conditioner. I am also constipated and I have mild nausea.

It is interesting that you feel hungry but don't want to eat. I don't even feel hungry. Yesterday, I had only tea all day and the only thing I ate was late at night and even then, I had just a few spoons. Before losing my appetite, I had some bad reflux probably the result of milk in my diet.

I don't know what to blame too. It could be milk, hidden gluten or my own thoughts (today I was reviewing my life and I have major regrets). I feel very sad and simple tasks feel so hard to accomplish. My energy is so low.

Anyway, food has no more fun for me since I can't even have a good tea with milk, have to watch the sugar (it is really bad on me) and have to eat just Paleolithic food to feel OK.

I am sorry about my whining I am not helping with anything.

      Hello, @Itsabit, Your journey sounds very similar to mine.   I'm very concerned about your diet since you say you don't eat a lot of meat, which is the main source of B vitamins.  Nutritional deficiencies go along with Celiac Disease.  Blood tests are not accurate measurements of deficiency states.  The body robs stored vitamins from organs to circulate in the bloodstream to supply the brain and heart.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change. I have a hypersensitivity to sulfites, so much so that I had to switch my toothpaste to one that doesn't contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.  SLS can cause oral irritation as a side effect, too.   My mouth would burn and I avoided certain foods.  Dapsone contains sulfites, as do antibiotics.  Treatment with sulfites can precipitate a Thiamine deficiency disorder because sulfites cut thiamine in two making it useless. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35506963/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10506142/ I have an allergy to nickel, also.  Zinc helps keep other metals in balance in the body.  Zinc is also terribly important to skin health and oral health. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8445075/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11274920/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1977254/ Thiamine (Vitamin B 1) deficiency disorder symptoms and altered thiamine metabolism can occur after radiation or chemo.   Thiamine and Niacin B 3 are important in nerve conduction.  When I was very malnourished, I had paresthesia that made me feel itchy all over, and made my dermatitis herpetiformis extremely unbearable.  The form of Niacin that causes flushing, Nicotinic Acid (not the same as nicotine in cigarettes) is beneficial because the flushing helps open the small capillaries in the skin which allows the antibodies to be cleared and disposed.  Pellagra can occur in Celiac Disease.   I had it, and my doctor didn't properly diagnose it, either.   I had a rash around my neck, Casal's Necklace, along with a blistering rash on my arms and any skin exposed to the sun.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8445075/ https://cgp.iiarjournals.org/content/10/4/169 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11722086/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6780714/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10229844/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1977254/ You should be checked for more than just B12 deficiency.  The eight B vitamins work together, and we need more of them when we're trying to heal.  They are water soluble, so the body can easily excrete them if not needed. Have you had your Vitamin D level checked?  Vitamin D regulates the immune system and lowers inflammation.   I hope you can find some benefit from my experiences.  Keep us posted on your progress.

      What should I do with these test results?

      Hello, @Jack Common, I know how frustrating health mysteries can be. Perhaps you're having a reaction to the medication you were given for the giardiasis you mentioned in another post. The giardiasis infection would account for the high Igg results.  Have you been reinfected? The site I've linked below has lots of information about the long term consequences of being treated with a medication frequently prescribed for giardiasis infection.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-doctor-denial/ https://hormonesmatter.com/?s=metronidazole https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3870550/ Please let us know if your symptoms may be due to this reaction to the prescription for giardiasis. Best wishes.
