Today is day 16 that I am off of gluten, with an accidental exposure 4 days ago of trace amounts of gluten, and I am very very dizzy. So dizzy I am nervous about driving to get my child. Also head feels cloudy and haven't had this in a while. Could this be a withdrawal bc I haven't had any symptoms as of yet? Thanks!

Hello :) Yes I think it is! After going off gluten I felt very fatigued and so dizzy for about 2 weeks or so,I think its your body fighting off the toxins, and possibly you aren't eating enough?

I almost passed out in town after having a horrible dizzy spell right after quitting gluten, scared my mother to death! Just relax and wait it out, your body is recovering and it will take time. If you don't feel comfortable driving, then don't. Your body is getting better and you need to try and help it by resting. Take it easy and feel better soon :)

      Gluten Free Daily Vitamins for Kids w/ Celiac

      By Sandi20 · Posted

      Thank you.  Just wanted to see if there was anything out there. Not in need of any specific vitamins or mineral. Trying to cover all my bases. 🙂.    By the way, what is your picture from or what does it represent? Are you an Aquarius?

      They've not made that call at this point. They say it looks more like Celiac's than common variable immune deficiency.  They say to get a positive diagnosis another endoscopy is needed after I've been on gluten-free diet awhile.  So, waiting for more input from Docs'.

      Pathology results - coeliac positive?

      By Tazzy11 · Posted

      Hi All! I recieved some coeliac serology test results but I am yet to see my g.p can anyone please confirm what these numbers mean?? Tissue transglutaminase IgA - 3 units (<20) Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgG - 26H units (<20)   My IgG is high, does this mean it is positive?

      Getting rid of the belly bloat

      By cristiana · Posted

      Karen, welcome to the forum. Another thing to add:  Belly bloat can persist if you are lactose intolerant, a situation caused by coeliac disease or it can simply be a stand alone condition.  In the case of coeliac disease, it could be your damaged gut cannot break down lactose efficiently but, in time, once the gut heals, your lactose intolerance and bloating should improve.  You might also find it helpful to stay clear of certain high fibre foods for a while, perhaps keeping a food diary to see if any are causing you to bloat a lot or give you stomach pain.  Lentils and soya were an issue for me in the short term, while I was recovering.  Also, are you taking iron - that can really hurt your belly and in my case it added to the bloating. The other point I wanted to make is has your doctor looked into any other reasons for your belly bloat.? There are a number of other gastric conditions that can result in a bloated belly.  A blood test and an ultrasound to check for possible gynaecological issues could also be something to speak to your GP about. It took me a few months for my bloating to subside, but the journey which involved a few tests along the way to ensure nothing else was was worth it.   Cristiana
