Help! New Symptoms

Hey all, I'm new to this forum and glad it's here. I've been gluten-free for about two months and generally feeling pretty good; but recently I've developed nausea and dizziness, neither of which I've previously experienced. Generally my symptoms are bloating/gas and fatigue. Is it normal to go through an array of symptoms while getting off of gluten?

Also, I've wondered if it could be candida as I've fought off candida before (about 2 yrs ago before I knew I had Celiac) and haven't exactly been on an anti-candida diet (though I do avoid yeast). Any insights help. Much thanks.

The odds of you having a candida overgrowth are less than your odds of having introduced a food into your diet with hidden gluten, or getting small amounts of gluten through cross contamination of a shared kitchen/dishwasher which would give you exactly the symptoms you've described above.

That old Candida can be sneaky and I didn't realize I had a problem but the ND I see tested me for it and gave me some herbs - Kroeger's Candida Formula # 2 and that helped tho I had to double the dose for a few days. I have added Neem leaf capsules and that is helping too.

You could also be having a reaction to another food, either an allergen or something you are intolerant or sensitive to. I ran into that within a few weeks of going gluten free, and had all three. I had the nausea, fatigue, dizziness, etc... But no hives or itching or anything.

If you keep a food log of every ingredient and how you feel, that may help you track down the culprits, if it is another food (celiacs are prone to other food issues, and to develop them later on, as well). I had to cut out a lot of foods, too, so I could figure out what I had problems with.

Also, have you been dating anyone new recently? Lipstick, powders, and makeup typically have gluten, too, so any kissing can get you glutened. ;)

Oh...if yeast does end up as a problem, you may want to be very careful about any medication - some anti-fungals that are commonly prescribed contain gluten and the doctor may not even think about it.

      I’m so confused…

      For my first couple of years after discovering my celiac disease I also had to avoid cow's milk/casein and eggs, as well as other things, but could tolerate duck eggs and sheep and goat's milk products. I'm not sure if you've tried those, but it could be worth testing them out.

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing? Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement? The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1. Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating. Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue...

      Testing

      Yes, if you had symptoms when eating gluten ruling out celiac disease won't necessarily mean you'll be able to eat gluten again, although it might mean that you may be able to be less strict with your gluten-free diet.

      Gluten-Free Ramen: A Comforting Bowl of Japanese Tradition

      Definitely, I have ramen regularly as Costco sells an excellent brown rice & buckwheat gluten-free ramen (just the noodles--they also sell a GF chicken soup stock in jars that works well to make ramen).

      Testing

      Have you considered the possibility that you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than celiac disease? They share many of the same symptoms, the difference being that NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is no test yet available for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out...

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!

Celiac disease must first be ruled out. In view of your genetic profile, I would give it consideration.
