Guest guest Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I am gluten intolerant. I've thought that my mother also has issues, but it wasn't something she could accept in the past. She is developing some difficult to deal with brain issues such as tremors, anxiety, nervousness and more that doctors haven't been able to diagnose, and psych drugs haven't helped. Today I got the brainstorm to google gluten intolerance and the brain, and was surprised to find out that there is a connection. After showing my findings to my mom, she is finally willing to do some experimenting with being gluten free to see if it might help her. I'm curious if any of the rest of you have had experience or know someone who has, with brain/ neurological issues connected to gluten intolerance/celiac? It might be a real help to my mom to know your story. I printed out some of my favorite recipes, some of them from this list, and made a cookbook for her to take home today, along with some gluten free flours to get started. And the good news is that dad is willing to do this with her. Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Undiagnosed Celiac Disease gave me myoclonic dystonia. It causes me to have sudden jerks where my hands fly up and my head cranks to the side. Sometimes, the muscles stick in that position for a while. It hurts like hell when they stick. When glutened, I have issues with paranoia and anxiety. I think everyone is talking about me and that no one likes me. It's really uncomfortable.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I used to experience much more anxiety than I do now. I believe part of the evaporation of that anxiety has to do with taking care of myself, but I believe part of it also has to do with not consuming gluten and casein. Also, some of the final symptoms I had developed before diagnosis (when I quit eating gluten and cow casein) were vertigo and vision issues. I was relieved to learn I did not have a brain tumor. Of course, gluten and casein greatly affect the brain of autistic children, from what I understand.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I just went for testing for Celiac Disease. Had gone gluten free/dairy free for migraines in January, then fell 'off the wagon' for a while. Decided to go to a doctor to be tested after speaking to someone who has Celiac who noticed my hands shaking at a meeting. My father and both brothers have the same tremor and we've always attributed it to 'family genes'. Can't remember how I was when off gluten, but have been told it takes a long time for the gluten to leave your body, so I may not have given it enough time to know the real difference.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Hi Barbara; I'm glad your mother finally has the motivation! When the intestinal villi responsible for absorbing B12 are damaged due to gluten intolerance, a B12 deficiency can develop. B12 is essential for maintenance of good neural health, so as well as avoiding all gluten, she may also need to take a substantial supplemental dose of Vitamin B12 for at least awhile. A minimum of 250 micrograms per day (1000 micrograms is safer) sublingual will probably get her level back up quickly (which is good). Sadly, when a B12 deficiency (from any cause) has gone undiagnosed long enough that neural symptoms have developed, those symptoms may continue but undertaking a gluten-free diet with B12 supplementation can prevent them from getting worse. All the best... Deborah I am gluten intolerant. I've thought that my mother also has issues, but it wasn't something she could accept in the past. She is developing some difficult to deal with brain issues such as tremors, anxiety, nervousness and more that doctors haven't been able to diagnose, and psych drugs haven't helped.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I dealt with a lot of physical and psychological issues throughout my entire life. When I was born my mother wasn't able to breastfeed me and none of the formulas on the market stayed down. I almost died a few times in my first few months of life because of food issues. My grandmother started cooking rice everyday and feeding me the water from it. No doctor ever even suggested I could have had a food allergy or intolerance! When I started on solid foods I was vomiting more than I was keeping down, and so my first year and a half I lived on rice mostly because that was the one thing they where sure of I could eat. Growing up, I was always sick, under weight, and diagnosed with behavioral problems. I have dyslexia, which I have overcome a lot and have very mild issues with now. I always wondered if my lack of nurishment had an effect on brain development and contributed to dyslexia. The older I got the more psychological issues I had, and the more medications they tried, the more symptoms I developed. I started studying holistic health and and trying to figure out what was wrong with me on my own because I've been to almost every gastroenderologist and many other specialist in my are and none of them ever had a clue as to what all my problems where. I started a whole wheat diet thinking I needed more fiber and whole grains to balance out my digestive problems. Doing so nearly killed me! Ironically, it was my GYN that first suggested celiac disease. After all the gastroenderologist I'd been to, the one doctor that doesn't deal with the digestive system at all is the one who comes up with an answer and sends me for testing! Since I started the gluten free diet most all my symptoms have subsided and the few problems I still have are extremely mild in comparison to what they where. If I consume any dairy I with get a migraine and congested. I developed chronic pancreatitis 8 years ago, which causes pain and nutrition problems. It took 7 years to get the results of the genetic testing they did, and I got the results from my lawyer, not the doctor. I have a mutated CF gene, which is the root cause of the chronic pancreatitis and the frequent chest colds, bronchitis, etc. Being gluten/dairy free relives symptoms a lot and reduces frequency and severity of those symptoms. I still get headaches sometimes, but anxiety and other psychological symptoms I've had all my life are gone now. Candidiasis can be an issue as well. I had to do the yeast free diet for a while and at times I still get sick when eating breads that have yeast. There is a definite link between nutrition and brain function. I attached the brochoure I made for my one class on Candidiasis as it may be helpful to your mother as well. A lot of people with gluten problems also suffer from this as well because of the damage to the intestinal villi which gives opportunity for the candidia to overgrow. I hope this helps your mother. I wish her all the luck in finding good health. Feel free to ask any more specific questions that I may be able to answer to help her understand better.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I've been cooking gluten free for my GF for just over a week now. She hasn't been diagnosed by a doctor as suffering from Celiac but she exhibited some symptoms all her life and we just recently came across this possible reason, and so we thought we'd try it for a week (and counting!) to see how she felt. I'm pescetarian (though I try to eat as close to vegan as possible) so that's how I ended up at this group. She suffers from anxiety and after reading all of your responses on this thread, we're hopeful that being gluten-free will help that! Where it sounds like one of the more classic symptoms of this disease is too many visits to the toilet, she had the opposite - she went to the bathroom maybe twice a week (!!!). And this has been for her whole life - doctors told her that maybe that's just how her body was supposed to operate. Twice a week! But since starting to eat this way last week, she has gone every day! 8 days straight! A weird thing to celebrate, I know, but we are happy about it! Also, her stomach hurt her every single day also for pretty much her whole life, a lot of times so painfully she'd have to get in bed after meals, and this past week she hasn't felt that way once. Anyways, the reason I am writing is to say it's great to hear " success " stories from all of you - that once you modified your (or your family's) diet the symptoms alleviated. It gives us great hope that her body will begin to function in a more healthy way now that we possibly recognize her true nutritional needs. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I just remembered something I had read a while back that I wanted to share. If I find the article again I will send it out too. It talked about bread products fermenting in some people, due to slowed digestion, and caused psychosis is some people. Apparently because the digestion was slowed or impaired in some way, which is likely in those with gluten problems, the bread fermented and produced an LSD like chemical, that easily made people seem crazy. A lot of people are diagnosed with schitzophenia and they are really on a constant acid trip! A gluten free diet may be all someone with psychosis needs! I figured this is somewhat relevant to your question as well, and may be useful information to someone. If you have a loved one or even if you seemed to have issues when you where younger, this might help explain why. Your not crazy, your just high! lol Jae On Mon, May 26, 2008 at 4:11 PM, Barbara Frohne < barbara.frohne wrote: > I am gluten intolerant.
