Dizziness

I have been gluten free for about three years. I used to have a lot of symptoms from dizziness to anxiety to bone pain. Well, two days ago I accidently ate some wheat. I actually felt okay, but two days later all of a sudden I have major dizziness, some joint pain, fatigue, wasn't able to focus and was irritable. I thought it was odd that the symptoms appeared two days later rather than immediately. Does anyone have any thoughts on this or could shed some light on this? I had some mild symptoms yesterday, but today it was pretty bad. The dizziness caused mild nausea and I almost fell down a couple of times at work.

Sorry to hear you are going through this again. I think we both have been gluten-free for roughly the same period of time. One thinks one is over it but not in fact. Things still happen.

I have often had a delayed reaction to gluten--as well as a series of symptoms indicating gradual degrees of detoxification from it. This includes joint pain, tiredness, irritability/quarellsomeness, dizziness and difficulty focusing as well as depression.

The plain old blues rerun of yesteryear, right? At least this is how I often felt pre-gluten free. The good news is that it won't last.

When able I suggest you take long walks or do some other exercise, and if you can sauna. Its also a good idea to eat lots of veggies and yogurt, drink dandelion tea and lots of water.

At times it goes away in three days, and at others it takes two weeks or even a month. Hope it won't be that severe for you.

I personally am getting over being glutened a lot recently. I took care of my mom for three months which ended up being a mistake, esp. since her doctor and my older sister insisted she go on a gluten challenge. Whereas she stayed well I got far too many migraines and then D as well as lung congestion and as noted, body aches, confusion and ennui. I left of course, however the damage was done.I have noticed that since then I am a lot more sensitive now than I was both to gluten and paint. I know I will get better again, however I have to honor the fact it will take some time. For now I need to be super careful again.

No matter what it seems the symptoms often vary. Patience and a sense of humor are key.

      Abscesses on legs

      By trents · Posted

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Hi there, Can you describe them a little more? Do they ooze? Do they itch? Do they spread like a rash or appear like a "boil?" Has a doctor / dermatologist looked at them? Are they big? Do they seem like they could get infected if not careful? Do they disappear? (You say you get them "2/3" months, assuming you meant "2 to 3" - so have the ones that came 2-3 months beforehand disappeared?) Have you noticed what triggers them? Etc. Welcome!

      Abscesses on legs

      By LookingForAnswers101 · Posted

      Hello, gluten free community! Thank you so much for welcoming me into your space. I'd like to ask if anyone has had a similar experience. 5 years ago, when I was 26, I started getting abscesses on my lower buttcheek every 2/3 months. There have been a lot of them in the past few years! Now for the last year or so, I keep getting absesses on the back of my thighs. I read online that gluten sensitivity can cause skin issues, and I read that it can cause perianal abscesses, but I have not seen anything about abscesses in other locations--has anyone else had this experience? Could this be gluten-related? Much love

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By trents · Posted

      Scott, I know full well that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder and gluten sensitivity is not. And I agree that there is inconsistency in the use of the terms. But my contention is that "gluten intolerance" should not be used of NCGS since "gluten sensitivity" is actually found in the gluten disorder known as Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity and, therefore, "gluten intolerance" should be reserved as a common/nonmedical equivalent for celiac disease. It also seems to me that "intolerance" implies something more severe than does "sensitive". And it just seems to me that, though there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms, there is a movement toward using "gluten intolerant" to refer to celiac disease rather than NCGS. But that is just my opinion and perhaps, to be honest, a bit of a personal crusade. Actually, we would all be better off if we quit using the those informal terms "intolerance" and "sensitivity" and just speak of celiac disease and NCGS.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      Wow. I mean, I REALLY don't want to give up beer, but I NEVER cheat. I get caught (glutenized in my vernacular), but I never cheat. I didn't even know that was a thing...
