Gluten attack severe insomnia and anxiety?

Celiac disease can change your digestive system forever. Even if you're healed and all that, your abdomen will never be the same. A lot of celiacs develop other sensitivities. Sometimes it's not enough to just quit the gluten. Your sensitivity to dairy might be secondary and will go away after you're healed. "True" lactose intolerance is genetic. Before...

In what ways did you feel better after going gluten-free?

worried about endoscopy
BuddhaBar replied to ellajones's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
About the endoscopy. Ask for a double dose of sedatives! I did and I don't remember anything 😀 Make the glutening worth it. Don't eat boring bread. Eat cookies, cakes and pizza! -
Like others have said, the problem might be a lack of fiber in your diet. A common problem after going gluten free. My remedy is eating crispbread made from various seeds and nuts. You could make your own. Put whatever spices in it you want. You won't get more gluten free fibers than this. https://divaliciousrecipes.com/healthy-nut-seed-crispbread/

Pour some Halloween-blood on your poo, take a pic and show her. "Look dawktor, I haz some blaaaaawd in ma stooool". You have to lower yourself to her level in order for her to understand you. Or you could find a real doctor instead of someone who paid a few thousand bucks for a diploma on the deep web.

are you going to take the vaccine
BuddhaBar replied to DJFL77I's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I suspect my employer deliberately gives the second dose to employees on Fridays in case we get side effects so we can be ill during the weekends. All the other days there are only short lines outside the vaccination place. On Fridays the lines are loooong. Got my second dose yesterday and so did a lot of my co-workers. Some of us, including myself, were... -

While anti-vaxxers are ranting about a few cases of serious side effects, the mortuary workers in India are burning corpses in the parking lots because the crematoriums are either full or the ovens have melted. -
Gluten Free with an Eating Disorder... Bad Combo
BuddhaBar replied to charliethecowboy's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Never had an eating disorder in that sense, but I am what some people would call a food addict, "foodie" or whatever. Totally agree with you. Nothing can replace the real deal. Real bread, real pizza crust, real cookies and cake etc. Those people who claim that gluten free is just as good or even better than the real deal are just coping. My way of coping... -
Lived a stressful life for many years. Mostly my own fault. I believe my celiac was triggered by chronic stress. Began with neuropathy: Tingling, zip zaps all over my body, even in my eyeballs. Severe burning pain in my feet. Sometimes so severe I couldn't stand up. My sensory nerves got so hypersensitive I could feel every seam in my clothes burning...

I'm about to give up this liver project. The scale still won't move. I will continue to eat healthier and hopefully the gyms will open soon, but chasing numbers on the scale, that part is over.

why dont they prescribe steroids ???
BuddhaBar replied to DJFL77I's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Probably because celiacs can heal and feel better without those steroids. I've been on steroids when I had inflammation in my facial nerves. Those side effects aren't worth it if a gluten free diet helps with the gut inflammation even if the process takes longer. Hyperactivity (acting like a meth user), insomnia, muscle weakness and reduced function of the... -
In the beginning, gluten free alternatives didn't fill me up at all. It was like eating air. Your daughter has my full sympathy and understanding. On top of eating foods that doesn't fill her up, she is also growing which of course also increases hunger. Does she/can she eat nuts? Making your own crispbread with nuts and seeds is a great alternative...

are you going to take the vaccine
BuddhaBar replied to DJFL77I's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Think I found the cause. Tromethamine is one of the ingredients in Moderna covid-19 vaccine. https://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/tromethamine I will tell the nurses next time I experienced some of those side effects for a minute or so. -
You're lucky in the US. Here, dextrose and all those ingredients can be made from anything. I've seen labels with "(wheat)" written after those those ingredients. Some doesn't mention anything. If all of those ingredients are all made from corn in the US, it makes it a lot easier.

Could be, but something is causing his low magnesium levels. Stress could be a cause. Magnesium works as a fuel and a regulator for stress hormones and if your levels of stress hormones are high, your body uses magnesium like crazy. Magnesium deficiency might not be the problem itself, but a symptom. Treating the symptoms is necessary to feel better, but...

As a celiac who can't even handle the smallest traces of gluten I avoid everything with modified starch unless it's specified it's made from corn, tapioca or rice. I've even reacted to maltitol with 0,002% gluten. You don't know what that starch is made from. They can modify it any way they want, but if it's a couple of molecules left you might react to...
