Really glad this helped, Meredith! I didn’t know iced tea might have gluten in it, thanks for the info.

I went undiagnosed for many many years with severe anemia, Psoriasis, headaches, stomach upset, nasal symptoms, and fatigue to name a few. The drs would treat each issue indiuvidually and the issue was still there. I ended up on an atkins diet one year and almost all of my symptoms went away in time. I then realized that atkins cuts out gluten (wheat and Barley). I ended up self diagnosing and have lived in a very healthy state for years now. I know when I come in cotact with Gluten right away!! Most restaurant ice teas have it and I react right away. So now i drink more water than anything or gluten free hot teas. I am grateful for the blogs on the internet and sites for information on these types of things. Without it, I may not have put two and two together!!!

Several years ago I was diagnosed with vertigo and I take a blood pressure med (Verapamil) that works with vertigo and although it has not fixed the problem, the spells are manageable and no longer severe. I wonder if vertigo is a symptom of gluten sensitivity? I have the gut symptoms but did not think about other symptoms like vertigo. Anyone else experience this? Thanks, Lisa

I’ve been reading, for about 45 minutes now. I’m amazed I what I’ve learned! I’ve been feeling very, very poorly for a few years now. However, I’ve always had stomach issues. Diarrhea, constipation, severe cramping, since middle school I can remember riding my bicycle as fast as I could to get home and go to the toilet! Lately, it’s been effecting me terribly. I have pain in my right side and anxiety so bad that I feel like I could die. A few times, I thought I was dying. For years I’ve stuttered a bit, but only at times and lately I cannot keep a clear thought in my head for even a few seconds. I used to write, write, write, but I just can’t do it at all any more. I sweat, I’m in nearly constant pain, have slime with my stool, suffer anxiety and the crazy things going on in my stomach and bowels is just maddening. I can feel so tired, that I need help walking to the bathroom. The symptoms seem to get worse and worse and I get more and more different symptoms as well. I’ve been tested and retested, probed (literally) and have seen most of the specialists out there and everyone says I.B.S. So, I started taking some meds after my colonoscopy, but then things got even more scary. I raced to the emergency room after getting a rash that took over my entire body. My eyes, throat, etc. AH! I was actually looking into gluten intolerance for my son who, not so ironically anymore, has Autism. At the E.R. they gave me Zyrtec, which I took for 2 weeks. In those two weeks I felt better than I have in a very long time. That’s when I thought, perhaps this is all an allergy! My findings have proven to be quite interesting. I’m off to the doc for sure!

Some of your symptoms may be stress, and keep in mind that stress is additive, and that allergies are a stress.

You’ve taken a big step in the right direction, discovering that a gluten free diet causes an improvement. And keep looking for other food allergies because where you find one, you are likely to find others. If you can find ways to reduce your stress levels from other sources, that will also be helpful. The better you feel, the easier it will be to deal with life’s other problems.

Keep at it, you’re on the right path!

I have been stressed for years. I also have herniated discs and a thyroid issue (goes from hypo to hyper). Course, the Docs gave me prescriptions but the stress and pain got worse. Getting a divorce didn’t help matters and then my symptoms becoming so bad I could no longer take care of my children.
I was laid off 2 days before Christmas, applied for unemployment, and still do not have any money at all. I think getting laid off just was the icing on the cake. I have to go to the food bank and only get to see my kids minimal. My ex does not understand these severe issues.
The symptoms are severe knots and pain in my back, panic attacks, too much yeast (thrush, yeast infections, scalp fungus), sleepless nights, gas, bloating, etc.
I have gone to Docs and no answer. I decided to do this Gluten Free diet and it has been 3 weeks. The pain and knots are gone most days, still working on the other issues but it is much better! I still have panic attacks so I think I may be allergic to something else. Unfortunately, having no funds I can’t go to the Doc (a new one)!
I would like to say though being gluten-free and drinking Apple Cider Vinegar ( only Bragg’s-natural) is also helpful in maintaining your mood, weight and yeast symptoms. I appreciate everyone posting so I can try to figure this mess out. Thanks!

Doctors definitely don’t have all the answers, in fact, they only have a very tiny range of answers for the entire range of human health problems.

I would suggest to anyone that they do get tested for celiac before going gluten-free. If you get tested and are not celiac, certainly you should ignore your doctor’s advice to continue eating gluten, in fact, why even ask the doctor at all? just do it!

For those who intend to go gluten free religiously for the rest of their lives no matter what, a celiac test may be redundant, but such people are few and far between, few have that kind of self discipline.

In your case Mindy, you have all the evidence and knowledge of consequences to avoid gluten for life. It is the most
