fibromyalgia and gluten intolerance

Well, I have Fibromyalgia, and most people with Fibromyalgia have to be concerned with possibly being diagnosed with MS--initially. Certain foods will still sometimes cause the painful parasthesia, but not always. I have eliminated the majority of the foods that I know cause this. If you have the functional bowel disorder that usually goes with MS, you will probably want to go gluten free and dairy free.

I've got Fibromyalgia quite severely and cannot walk very far before I need to stop (100 m at the most) I have always loved walking and cycling but since I have developed Fibro I am literally housebound. I am working with physio/hydro- and occupational therapy. I have gained lots and lots of weight.over the years Any ideas of what I could do? I am doing Tai Chi but I don't seem to get past 2 repetitions per exercise (just warming up exercises) before I could scream in agony????????

Also, if you look up Tyramine Intolerance, which affects people who get migraines and/or IBS, you will find out that gluten intolerance is a part of Tyramine Intolerance. Again, gluten intolerance doesn't necessarily mean Celiac. And, it is a lot more common than many conventional doctors are willing to admit.

And are any of these causes of dizziness upon standing up linked to gluten intolerance or is there any relation between a eating intolerance and this dizziness possibly?

Hi. Welcome to the forum. My dx. is Fibromyalgia and Gluten Intolerance. I found this forum when I was researching my symptoms - many which sound a lot like MS. Others will certainly be along to help too - but in the meantime I wanted to ask if you have been tested for food allergies? Gluten Intolerance can cause an array of symptoms including nausea and neurological symptoms. The Health Pages located at the top right corner of your screen are a valuable resource.

re relating could be present due to intolerance of gluten a substance found in wheat, rye, barley and oats.

s patient and also suffering from long term gluten intolerance, I can tell you that the symptoms do decrease when on a gluten free diet. The gluten intolerance is an auto-immune response which sends out anti-bodies into the bloodstream, which of course, also go into the brain, giving rise to many Hashimoto type symptoms. With the body under attack, the immune system tries desperately to compensate, in a never ending 'chasing its tail' kind of impact.

After talking with another member about gluten intolerance (thanks sherri) I did some research on it. I didn't realize that the gluten intolerance is linked directly to infertility and not just thru problems it creates (like thyroid). I have not been eating gluten for about a year now (well, I do splurge some) after my DH discovered many of my problems have been linked to it (thyroid, stomach issues, acne, etc).

Okay, ya ready? You have 3 possibilities here: - celiac disease - non-celiac gluten intolerance - wheat allergy. It gets complicated because many studies and scholarly texts use "celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" interchangably...they're not the same thing. Celiac is an autoimmune disease. Once you have one autoimmune (Hashi's), you're more prone to developing another (celiac). So, yes, there is a connection. Celiac can be tested for...

Just the other day I heard that this might be a gluten intolerance and I am considering cutting glutens on a trial basis to see if I feel better. My symptoms are pretty much daily, and I have learned to live with them but I'd rather not!

s sufferers have a Gluten Issue, Celiac Disease I believe is the name of the Gluten intolerance disease, it is also classifeid as an Auto-immune Disease, from what I have been reading recently, They are saying that all wheat products, including Whole wheat and whole grain has been modifeid so much to provide a higher yeild for commercial farms that it is no longer healthy to eat. In addition to this claim, Dr.

In my late 30s i was so fed up of feeling ill all the time I had food intolerance testing performed and was told I was intolerant to gluten, dairy and eggs, I cut them all from my diet and felt much better but gradually reintroduced them. For a while I was fine but now the symptoms are back and I feel worse than ever.

Is dizziness upon standing a symptom of gluten intolerance, wheat allergy , or oat allergy? I have read that oats don't have gluten is this true, or will they affect people who are gluten intolerant? Im pretty sure they do affect me.

I have IBS, CFS, fibromyalgia, and neurally mediated hypotension and have found that avoiding all gluten products vastly decreases pain (including stomach) and improves energy levels. I can have a little here and there, but if I eat multiple items in a day or even, more than once a week my stomach and my body reminds me why I avoid it. It is common for people with these conditions to have a gluten intolerance.

An allergist can do an easy skin test to determine food allergy. Let them know your symptoms and make sure they include wheat and gluten in the test. I suffered with stomach problems for years. On a visit to my allergist (treated for seasonal hayfever) I mentioned my symptoms, they tested my for food allergies and 10 min later I found out I am allergic to eggs. Once I changed my diet, my stomach went back to normal.

The gluten issue is further complicated because there is both celiac disease (autoimmune gluten intolerance) and and non-celiac gluten intolerance. With celiac disease, antibodies attack tissue in the gut making it progressively hard to absorb nutrients. Your doctor probably did an antibody test for celiac, However, the blood test is not conclusive, only a small intesting biopsy is conclusive.

I'm a 16 year old female and have been experiencing nausea & blackouts for the past 6-8 months. My GP has suggested many things from food intolerance to muscle spasms. Within the past 3-4 weeks, i've been experiencing chronic abdmonial pain and headaches as well as the nausea and blackouts. The blackouts tend to occur at their worst in the morning, i feel like someones blocking my ears, i cannot see and i have trouble with my balance.

I myself started to experiment and saw that flank pain and constant coughing started to improve if I eased up on wheat and gluten products. I have been diagnosed with a wheat allergy and gluten intolerance as a child but have not taken it so seriously as an adult. After I started to stay on a strict gluten-free diet, the pain has subsided in about one week's time.

We know about the big four grains that are said to be the problem grains, but there is newer information that other grains are bad guys, too. Gliadin is the name of the gluten in wheat, and the big four do have definite links to gluten intolerance. But, other grains have been linked to this gluten intolerance, too. That's why this is an important video for both communities to watch. You don't have to shell out the $69 that the website hopes you will.

Some people say its related to yeast and or Gluten intolerance. I am sure there are variety of other things but I am sure I have both but the rinse has helped the best. I swear by it so much I wish that I could sell the product lol..

I do smoke and have had very bad reactiosn during premenstrual times (severe migraines). i have a gluten intolerance and my father suffered severe gout. My cousin has Addisons and my mother Diabetes. I have no idea if this information is useful. but here it is anyway. I also lost my father in March which may mean that the problem is to do with grief? thanks for your help in advance.

2 weeks ago I met with a dietician and stated an anti inflammatory diet. I have pulmonary nodules thought to be caused by a gluten intolerance and I cut sugar, dairy, gluten corn, soy etc. a week ago I stopped the Prilosec and I am down to one Zantac 150 per day with very few symptoms. I have a hydrogen breath test tomorrow as my GI feels like my problem isn’t LPR and may be SIBO. I have a HIDA scan Monday to check a distended gallbladder seen on a recent mri to check a simple renal cyst.

I went to a naturopath who then did a number of tests and came up with an intolerance of gluten and wheat. In fact, I went on a gluten and wheat free diet and almost within a week improved. It took about a year but the twitching went away completely and the tingling I may get very rarely if I have too much wheat.

Thanks to a website called Medhelp, I was messaged from several people that were originally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and later with Celiac Disease. After researching the symptoms and my current laboratory testing, I am starting to wonder if it could be Celiac Disease. I am in desperate need of medical advice, from someone that has more experience in Autoimmune Diseases.

Thanks for the update. Asthma is another condition that is known to be comorbid with gluten intolerance. And no, you don't have to have celiac disease to be gluten intolerant. The two are related, but you can have gluten intolerance without having celiac disease. Everyone who has celiac disease has gluten intolerance, but not everyone who has gluten intolerance has celiac disease. I personally have non-celiac gluten intolerance.

Gluten is the protein found most commonly in wheat, barley, rye, triticale (a hybrid type of grain that is a cross between wheat and oats), and most oats. Oats that are certified as gluten free are to be treated as if they have gluten. The explanation on that one is tricky, but it has to do with the peculiarity of oats to cross pollinate with grains that contain gluten.

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.

If I understand your question correctly, you are asking if food intolerance and/or allergies mimic the pain of various neuropathies. Food intolerance, only if it contains gluten. The association that I am aware is that of neuropathy secondary to gluten sensitivity. The following is excerpted from a report in the medical literature and is illustrative of this phenomenon. Sensory ganglionopathy due to gluten sensitivity (CME) Hadjivassiliou, M. MD; Rao, D.G. MD; Wharton, S.B.
