Why The Symptom Rebound?

Hi, I was confirmed celiac by blood test back in June of 2012 and the first few weeks gluten-free I felt AMAZING. I had more energy than I ever thought possible, my memory was razor sharp and the brain fog was finally gone. It was like I was awake and alive for the first time in my life and I LOVED it.

The good times didn't last though. A few weeks go by and I'm back to having no energy, depression, anxiety, the works, even though I'm sure I've been gluten free other than 5 or 6 slip ups. I have such a strong reaction to gluten, numbness and tingling in my hands, extreme fatigue so that I can't even move, migraines, bloating, etc that I feel like I would know if I was accidentally eating gluten. I get horrible symptoms from even the smallest amount of CC so I don't think it could be that.

My question is, why have my symptoms returned and not improved in the last six months even though I had such great results to start? I take probiotics every day, workout 3 times a week, and eat mostly whole foods with only the occasional bag of doritos. I know I'm lactose intolerant and avoid dairy, but I do drink Silk or lactaid. I haven't had my vitamins levels checked yet, but I think maybe I should.

Any suggestions you have will be greatly appreciated. Hope is in short supply at the moment.

Yes, I do think you should get your nutrient levels checked, vitamins, electrolytes, iron/ferritin, and also get your thyroid function checked, TSH, free T3 and free T4. Any deficiencies can really drag you down.

You might try switching to a non-soy milk and dropping the Doritos for a bit a see if it helps.

Hello,

My first thought was the Doritos... they contain monosodium glutamate which is made of gluten... possible when you first went gluten free, like others you cut out most things then started again... its tough to investigate all ingredients some times and for some people an exposure to gluten can cause huge effects even if its only a few times, kind of like starting over every time... keep your chin up, it gets easier...

Take care and keep in touch....

MSG is not made of gluten in the US. Many people, with Celiac and without Celiac, have problems with MSG.

Also maybe test for SIBO? My new GI doc thinks I have it, and this study seems to show a lot of Celiacs who still have symptoms after going gluten-free have it: Open Original Shared Link

      Does this definitely suggest Coeliac Disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The positive Anti-deamidated Gliadin IgA result (12 U/ml) suggests possible celiac disease, but it is not definitive on its own, as this marker can also be elevated in other conditions or even in non-coeliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). Do you know if they also ran a tTg-Iga test? This is the definitive test for celiac disease. The absence of classical symptoms like significant bloating or pain upon gluten reintroduction, along with your history of IBS and sensitivity to legumes, complicates the picture (legumes can be cross-contaminated with wheat). While celiac disease remains a possibility, other conditions like NCGS, leaky gut, or additional food intolerances could also explain your symptoms. A biopsy would provide more conclusive evidence for celiac disease, but for that you need to be eating lots of gluten daily in the weeks leading up to the endoscopy. In the meantime, adopting a gluten-free diet and supporting gut health with supplements (e.g., probiotics, L-glutamine) may help reduce inflammation and symptoms, but it’s important to consult a healthcare professional to tailor your approach and rule out other underlying issues. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Has anyone struggled with high blood pressure?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Abscesses on legs

      I don’t think it matters much, there’s another type of cordyceps but I’m not sure if there’s a lot of difference, the one I’m using is cordyceps sinensis from maesyffin in wales, sinensis is the one with a long history of medicinal use in china. I think the alcohol (vodka) in the tincture helps with uptake vs taking capsules. And yes, changing my diet helped but it’s almost impossible to maintain as I can’t eat any lectins or sugar which is almost everything. Low lectin is about the best to hope for, they’re in everything. I can eat teff, millet, hemp seeds, blueberries, strawberries, blackcurrants, yogurt, cheese, walnuts, pistachios, macadamia, Brazil nuts, broccoli, sweet potato, carrots, beetroot, olives, rocket, onions, garlic, avocado, kale, mushrooms, chlorella/spirulina, and fish. That’s about it. I keep quail and make their food myself because lectins get into the commercial pellet fed chickens eggs. It took me years of adding one thing at a time with three weeks of pain every time I got it wrong to figure this out but there’s a finger prick blood test available now that will tell you which foods are triggering your autoimmune system, they test for 200+ different proteins and measure igg and ige antibodies. Good luck, I hope the mushrooms help but best to address the cause of the problem I think and have the igg and ige antibody test. The test won’t work if you’re already taking the mushrooms.
