Avatar m tn I have a gluten sensitivity. I react this way for 2 to 4 days after eating gluten.
Avatar f tn This has been going on for about a week and a half... I am 48 year old. Was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity and fibromyalgia and depression. This is recent feeling so lousy. everytime, everytime, i eat i get nauseous and light headed and swirly.
Avatar m tn I searched online and closest symptoms I found are IBS with Fibromyalgia; also my physician is trying to find out if it is due to auto immune defiency; please some body help me.
Avatar f tn I have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease, Fibromyalgia, and IBS. I have migrains, fatigue, nausea, lightheadedness, concentration/memory problems, light sensitivity, stiffness throughout the neck,shoulders, and entire body. Weakness to the point where I drop things. Constipation that I have never experienced for 3 weeks long. Have taken all laxatives that are over the counter. Had an xray that showed I was backed up. Had a CT scan that showed I have a ruptured ovarian cyst 2cm.
Avatar m tn Yes, it can and does happen. An example is the 'sudden' development of gluten intolerance - either a sensitivity (allergy) or out-right celiac disease - in adults. No one knows exactly why it happens, but autoimmunity can suddenly 'turn on' and make a person quite uncomfortable. Some of the bigger food problems seem to occur to gluten (wheat, rye and barley), dairy (the protein portion - casein - not the milk sugar - lactose), eggs and soy.
973741 tn?1342342773 I went to a alternative doctor, who did a bloodtest and it came back that I was Gluten intolerant. I think, by eliminating gluten for a month or two and then re-introducing, you can tell if you have a big reaction or not. Is it's celiac disease I think you will even react to spores of gluten, so I would try that first. Does it really matter if it's coeliac disease or sensitivity?
Avatar m tn One more angle to look at this IF blood tests are negative for celiac and its thought that you just have gluten sensitivity and NOT actual celiac. You might need to look one step further as in the reason for gluten sensitivity. "Gluten sensitivity" has been a buzz word for about 10 years now while part of the problem that did not get much exposure is about to. Many people that have issues with gluten really have some kind of digestive yeast infection or "candida".
Avatar m tn There is also a condition known as Fibromyalgia, this condition works at the nerves sending pain throughout your body. There have been many medical breakthroughs on treatments for fibromyalgia.
Avatar f tn I was recently told by someone that works with fibromyalgia patients that a gluten free diet could lessen my symptoms. Just trying to figure out what has or not has gluten has been confusing and a bit discouraging. But I am willing to try it if it works. Has anyone tried it? What were your results?
Avatar f tn Many of these have overlapping symptoms. These include gluten intolerance, gout (a form of arthritis), and restless leg syndrome. Some drs believe food sensitivity itself could sometimes be responsible for some of the pain and fatigue of FM. Seven foods to avoid: 1. Aspartame (nutraSweet) 2. Food additives including MSG (momosodium glutamine) and nitrates, 3. Sugar, fructose, and simple carbohydrates, 4. Caffeine, 5. Yeast and gluten, 6. Dairy, 7. Nightshade plants. Hope it helps.
Avatar f tn Does Hashimoto's put me at risk for gluten sensitivity and other food allergies?
Avatar m tn If both of those are negative, then your doctor may recommend a gluten elimination diet. If symptoms improve on a gluten-free diet, then you likely have non-celiac gluten sensitivity." - Beyond Celiac: Gluten Sensitivity Testing. *** "High-risk associations that should prompt testing for coeliac disease: • Family history of coeliac disease (10-20% risk) • Autoimmune thyroid disease • Type 1 diabetes • Other autoimmune disease e.g.

Avatar f tn ©2010 American Academy of Neurology “Gluten sensitivity is a systemic autoimmune (allergic) disease triggered by the ingestion of gluten in genetically susceptible individuals. Neurologic dysfunction can be the presenting feature even in the absence of an enteropathy (gastrointestinal disease and symptoms) .
634941 tn?1222839802 //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten-free_diet gives all possible available gluten free diets. However a word of caution; Please see a physician for his problems. He could also be suffering from Celiac disease, ulcerative colitis or any other form of irritable bowel disease. The symptoms of all these match with that your boyfriend.

Avatar f tn Hi and welcome to MedHelp. As far as I can tell, you do have symptoms that look like fibromyalgia. A rhematologist is the kind of dr. that dxes this. They will check for pressure points. There is also a tilt table test that can help decide if it is fibro or chronic fatigue.
Avatar n tn My brother was just diagnosed with celiac disease, had endoscopy, blood comp panel was positive too. I too had developed some symptoms, diarrhea, upset stomach...went to a doctor...said I should go on an elimination diet, no gluten, milk, dairy, sugar, caffein, etc. At this visit, she also ordered a blood test for the celiac disease panel. So, I went on the gluten free diet, 12 days later went for the blood work.
Avatar f tn There are a number of researchers putting out some good material on gluten ataxia and non celiac gluten sensitivity that you may want to look up. Prof M Hadjivassiliou, (particularly his article "Gluten sensitivity, from gut to brain"), Frank Fasano and Dr Perlmutter. Hope this is of some help.
Avatar m tn Hi thanks for your reply . Have you read the book "fibromyalgia a survival guide" ? I have suffered recurrent bouts of bronchitis over the years and now I think there is a link to fibro . I am also struggling with horrendous post nasal drip . Doctor put me on cymbalta and it seems to be helping with depression and pain . Fibro can start after extreme periods of stress or traumatic life events like loosing a loved one , etc . For me depression/anxiety played a major role .
