Hi, new member here. I've been suffering with God awful symptoms just like the rest of you and have been doing all kinds of research on this stuff. What I've come across is the book "Life Without Bread" by Wolfgang Lutz and Christian Allan. It truly is a life-changing book. It will really open your eyes and help most of you with your issues i guarantee it. I won't go into detail about it here i just wanted to let you all know because i feel it has had a profound impact on my health and i want to help others, because it so simple and provides so much relief... i feel like my old self again.

.....seriously, this is no joke tell your friends

I just read the review of this book and it looks really interesting. Thanks for positing this! It looks like it will really be a great addition to my library. Personally I have found I have to tread an even keel and practice moderation with the carb/protein/fat thing since I have tender kidneys that don't want an excess of protein. Nevertheless I have done well veering more towards the low carb diet and certainly do eat my share of fats and oils as well as meat--and whole milk in the form of 24 hour fermented yogurt (to avoid the lactose).

I have noticed with books proposing a nutritional theory that the thing to remember is that we are all a bit different. Its better in my opinion to do trial and error and see what works best for oneself--though it seems eating a lot of greens and staying off processed foods and sugars is best for most everyone.. whether or not one eats a lot of meat vs carbs etc. or not or is a vegetarian. Just wish I could eat beans, fruit, nuts and more eggs and cheese without ill effect!

Yes, I agree. I first believed that food allergies were the problem, or possibly some kind of infection, then maybe Celiacs disease. I tried a Gluten-free Casein-free diet, then the SCD diet. While helpful, it didn't resolve my issues. This book basically takes the SCD diet a bit further by limiting all carbs, including fruits, to 72 grams a day. But its also unique in that it promotes the liberal consumption of fats and protein. truth is, I think everyone can benefit from this diet. I agree we're all biochemically unique in our own way; but i think humans in general are not designed for high carb consumption, which has become glaringly obvious to me at this point

I've read other books that indicate the dangers of a high carb diet (these are not diet books, these are health books). "Life Without Bread" actually confirms this with clinical proof. And its not difficult either. Once you feel the benefits, you won't even question it. Its a must read, its very thorough and will most likely address any skepticisms you might have. Also check out "Good Calories, Bad Calories" another good read.

      I’ve been gluten-free for a while too, and I know how frustrating it can be when your body reacts unexpectedly. I haven’t personally experienced what you’re describing with Ozempic, but I did have a situation where I took a break from certain supplements and noticed my body felt a lot better.

      Two of our moderators @knitty kitty and @Wheatwacked know a lot more about nutrients and may be able to offer some more help, so hopefully they will chime in here.

      Hi Scott, thanks for the reply.    I’m currently taking  3000IU vitamin D3 centrum multivitamin  500mg vitamin C 1000mcg B12 naturemade softgel Omega 3 (for dry eyes) My latest labs for vitamins were D - 43.6 (range 30-100) B12 - 406 (range 232-1245) Folate - 11.4 (range >3.0) ferritin - 117 (30-400) magnesium - 2.3 (1.6-2.3) Calcium - 9.9 (8.7-10.2)   I am 29 and really struggling with this emotionally, I was caught by surprise 2.5months ago with this dx and pretty much no symptoms that I really knew of besides low ferritin. When I first met with the GI doctor in July and he ordered the endoscopy/colonoscopy, that was around when the twitching started. I’m unsure if it’s the anxiety of it all (I have been consistently freaking out since the scopes were ordered, losing sleep, obsessively googling etc.) or if it’s celiac related. I’m horrified that I might have something else wrong with me.  Additionally, I’ve been getting some mixed opinions - dietician told me to stop the additional b12 because my multi had b12, but I see online that some people think b12 levels should be well over 500.    Some other things that I’ve experienced since I went gluten free are more “sinus” headaches, facial pressure, some cramping in my left side (could be postural problems I’m dealing with) and dry eyes - my eye doctor has me on some eyes drops that really help and this is a work in progress. And no my mouth isn’t dry too 😅   I’m absolutely beside myself with fear of other AI diseases and have no one I can really turn to (besides online) that has dealt with this. I have no idea what’s in my mind and what is a real symptom anymore because I’m so hyper aware of every sensation in my body! Thank you so much in advance for any input/guidance.

      I never had muscle twitching that I would relate to Celiac Disease (celiac disease).  However, I now have Long Covid and muscle twitching, burning, and other issues cropped up with that.  Predating all was restless leg syndrome (RLS).  Are you talking about RLS?  I've had that since '99.  It gets progressively worse.

      Hello @aperlo34, what types of supplements are you taking? Your symptoms could be related to vitamin/mineral deficiencies.   The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
