I am in entering week 3 gluten free....I have been reading peoples posts about the brain fog. I have had this for a very long time and I am now finding even though my gut is still off balance still bloating and cramping. I have started to notice I haven't had that hard to focus in on things brain fog I really felt like i had fuzzy/ hazy vision and found it hard to focus mentally.

I am glad to say that has turned around for me

I am looking for some nacho cheese dorito's knock offs that are gluten free I tried the baked nacho cheese dorito's " YUCK"

Try taking some B-12 supplements. It will help with the brain fog.

Doritos has several flavors that are gluten free, but I can't remember the ones that are not. Try goggling "Frito Lay - Doritos - Gluten Free"...

I didn't have the typical stomach symptoms of celiac. Long story short: I was diagnosed while in college, but due to enjoying the college life, I never stuck with the gluten free diet. A few years later when my life slowed down, I realized something wasn't right. I was tired all the time, very forgetful, not in a good mood, and lethargic. I almost thought I was depressed.

"Brain fog" is rarely listed as a symptom of celiac. One day I ran across this symptom and looked into it.

I decided it was time to go 100% gluten free. About a month into it, I started to feel "awake" again. A few months later, I was back to "normal." Every once in a while if I get glutened, I find myself just doing stupid things. It is a true symptom and does get better when you stick to the diet.

Hello,

First up sorry I know this is an old post but this forum appears to be the only place on the net that people are discussing the idea of brain fog and celiac disease.

I have had "brain fog" for the last few years. I decided this year I am going to get to the root of the problem, and I am currently following a strict gluten free diet to

see if it is caused by a gluten intolerance.

My question is, if I have a gluten intolerance, how long should I have to wait until this "brain fog" clears up?

The above post suggests 3 weeks, is this an good indication of a time frame?

In the upper right corner, you should see a google box for this forum. Put on brain fog. You should find lots of posts to consider.

A lot of them will tell you that, until your " vitamin" levels come up, you can't expect it to get better.

Eating doritos, doritos knockoffs, or anything processed won't help you get better faster.

      Poo changes after 2 weeks

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Thank you. That’s all really helpful. I think it must have been something she ate as the poo colour has settled now.    Starting to see improvements in her tummy, slowly but surely!

      I take all vitamins and supplements.  My cardiologist has me taking B12 5,000 once per weeks.  He gives me complete blood work every 6 months.  He's still building my D levels which is now in 60s.  He wants them in low 80s.  I take 5,000 IU's daily.  With this dosage I've gone from 42 to 65 over a period of about 5 years.  It builds very slowly.   As far as iron, I take a double dose of gentle iron with C on an empty stomach on alternate nights.  Yes, iron is a component for many of us with RLS, but mostly "brain iron" that in some people may require iron transfusions.

      The positive DGP-IGA indicates the possibility of celiac disease. It is typical for someone who does have celiac disease to have some antibody tests be negative and others positive. This is not unique to celiac disease diagnosis. It is why doctors typically run many tests when seeking diagnosis of a suspected disease.  The DGP-IgA test is considered to have high sensitivity and specificity. In general, the DGP-IgA test has been reported to have a sensitivity ranging from 75% to 95% and a specificity ranging from 90% to 100%. Overall, the DGP tests, including DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG, exhibit a sensitivity of approximately 85-95% and a specificity of about 95-98%. The above paragraph is taken from this article which gives an overview of the various tests that can be run for celiac disease and their reliability: What symptoms are you experiencing?

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, get serum antibody testing done for celiac disease. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.
