I can’t do gluten and after a while I found out I can’t do oatmeal or eggs! Strange combo. Dairy seems fine. Hit me when I turned 40. I mostly just had IBS.
Thank you for sharing. I’m off dairy, wheat, grains & gluten which were causing me severe pain. Watch Dr William Davis’ videos on wheat, gluten & grains
Yes!!! The same thing happened to me! The vertigo, migraines, blurred vision, shooting pain in my thighs, shaking, rash and anemia. Nurse practitioner told me its IBS because I didn’t lose weight and my celiac test also came back negative. I did research (i also prayed because im a believer) and found i could have an intolerance. Immediately I stopped eating gluten and within a few days my head fog cleared and i felt sooooo much better. Living gluten free isn’t so bad and definitely worth it!
Amen! That's how I found out I was allergic to gluten. The first time I ever heard of the term gluten free before it was popular I heard the Holy Spirit in a clear voice tell me to look into it. Then ffw 8 years later when I was working with a doc i asked him to run allergy tests on me and he said ok and i asked him to add the celiac panel and he said i don't think you have that.... but said if you want it we can check for it. And sure enough It came back positive. He then asked did I want to see a GI specialist to see if I had celiac disease or was just allergic to gluten. At this point I was getting ready to move out of state in a few weeks so I told him no that I will do it when I move.
I’m celiac, you don’t have to be medically diagnosed, believe me you know. If I get accidentally glutened I get very ill, bloating bowel pain I need a bathroom immediately I have brain fog dizziness, the fatigue is over welling, I can’t hardly put one foot in front of the other. It takes me two or three days to get over it. When I’m back on the gluten free diet, I’m fine again. I have a two yearly colonoscopy as bowel cancer is in my family, celiac never shows up as I’m gluten free. I was told I’d have to eat gluten for 6 weeks for it to show up in a colonoscopy. No way would I do that, I wouldn’t be able to leave my home.
Almost every symptom you described has been my life for the past year and a half. (I felt like I was experiencing a horrible hangover all the time, with all the *vertigo*, nausea, ibs stuff, headaches, *brain fog*, heart burn, etc). Dr.s couldn't figure it out. I finally figured out it was gluten for me. (I get no problems at all from dairy.) Thanks for sharing. It helps us know we are not crazy. :)
I’m getting many of the same symptoms, except Migraines, I’ve gone Gluten free, I hate asking this question, but how long did it take to see signs of recovery.
I hear 2-3wks but you should see improvement in maybe 3-5 days? Try to have 2 number 2s per day, eliminating is a gift. Be thankful you're not seriously constipated like me
Same. Misdiagnosed since birth. 50 yrs of absolute misory, gluten expresses as severe fatigue and arthritis in me, and being over medicated with steroids and NSAIDs. Teeth like a meth head, body of a heroin addict, now dealing with all the long term damage.
Nearly cried watching this video, it's as if you're telling my story, so glad you have sorted out your issues. been gluten and dairy free for 3 weeks after 2 years of daily suffering, and I'm starting to feel the benifits already, the doctors always try to pass it off as anxiety!
@@gotem370 @gotem370 since I was a kid, I had "ibs" grandad had it assumed he passed it down to me, I contracted covid 2 years ago had the usual symptoms was over it within a week, then on day 9, life as I knew it was over, had over 30 gluten related symptoms, including everything mentioned in this video + more, of course had no idea it was related to gluten or dairy at the time, literally thought I was dying every time I took a bite of food, even salad, I ended up in hospital, they kept saying I had heart burn, only after I lost 77 pounds in 6 weeks, they started taking my "heart burn" seriously" ... still fighting till this day however, I have cut out all gluten and dairy, and majority of symptoms have subsided, no more headaches, dizzy spells, being off balance, nausea, my vision has restored...I can walk properly again etc
I saw this video 3 years ago, and your testimony saved me. I'm so thankful to have found you. After dealing with several doctors, pills, daily pain, and deep despair, I saw you; ever since I got more information about gluten, habits, and food, my life quality has improved; I feel healthy and happy again. Thank you for sharing!!!
Aw that is so kind of you to leave this message. I'm so glad my video helped you, and that you're finally seeing improvements! It means a lot that I could help someone 😊
@@doreenanikewich8838 I do eat grains such as quinoa, chia, and flax. Also, I'm from Mexico, so a lot of corn is in my daily diet. I learned to bake simple gluten-free bread recipes with almond “flour,” bananas, and flax, which are great for my cravings. Sometimes, I cheat, and I have a piece of regular bread, but just occasionally because the next day, I'll feel like I was having a hangover.
jesus it's exactly what i have experience for the last 5-6 years. last months syntoms get worse , so desperate i cut gluten completely and guess what? in 3 days i was back to normal, 6 days i feel like a duracel!
Same for me. Have been suffering for years and cut out gluten entirely (out of desperation after having tried SO MANY THINGS) four days ago and I’ve been full of energy and not experiencing any of my usual IBS symptoms, dizziness, heartburn, etc. After 9 years of countless doctors and tests, I can’t believe this is all I needed!
@@marlac.876 I had already gone lactose free several years ago. I still eat dairy but I choose lactose free options or if I feel like indulging I take Lactaid to ease symptoms. Update since this post: many tests have been done and my gastroenterologist has diagnosed me with non-Celiac gluten sensitivity which essentially means I react to gluten like someone with Celiac but it does not cause long-term damage.
I am so happy I found this video I could cry. A lot of people who do speak out about their experience with gluten talk about the basic symptoms stomach aches, bloating, etc. If they talk about the brain fog and eye problems it is quickly and not severe. For the last few months I had started to convince myself something was horribly wrong with my brain and death was close! Hearing your story and your symptoms is such a relief to me. Take away my gluten, dairy, soy, everything I DONT CARE i will eat nothing but lettuce for the rest of my life if it means these symptoms clear up. I now feel confident no matter how my test results come back that the improvement I feel on a gluten free diet is enough to put my brain at ease. I hope you realize how many people this video has, can & will help others!!!
Do u think watching these kind of videos can cure you " Not at All". Don't waste your time watching videos and don't buy their useless plans. They Just want to rip you off.

You are so lucky. I realized that I might have gluten intolerance just yesterday. I am 45 years old. I have all the symptoms you had. I cut gluten for one day. I already feel dramatic changes. I still feel grateful.
This is such a similar story to mine. So many health issues and mis-diagnoses. And it was all caused by gluten and dairy. Makes you wonder how many people are having the exact same problem and do not know it.
Hello. Would like to say that having adverse reactions by eating wheat could have various reasons, not necessarily due to the gluten. Wheat is rarely eaten as a whole grain, like a kamut / spelt salad or soup. People use to eat to much flour productsmany times, and probably not good quality flours and proper elaboration. I humbletly think that if we could eat whole grains as berries, in soups, salads, risottos, overnight porridge...it would be fine most of the time. And whole grain rye sourdough bread would be great too. Not for people who suffer from celiac disease, of course. Hope it can help. Greetings
Your story is so moving! I've suffered almost my whole life with ibs, constipation, bloating, reflux, postnasal drip, halitosis, etc. I have tried cutting out gluten before, but I wasn't very strict with myself and I would cave and eat gluten. The weird thing is I don't always feel bad after eating bread, so I'm not sure if I just have a delayed response or what. It pains me to hear that doctors are prescribing antidepressants for symptoms like these without even acknowledging diet. It is so sad. Thank you for your story!
Exactly my issues for 40over years and I nv knew till 2weeks ago! Absolitely debilitating laundry list of symptoms , the worst being horrible itchy cracky weepy skin , migraines and the brain fog. It feels like I was dying a slow but steady death. I hv learnt to live with it and cover it up pretty well, but only those who live with me knew how often I am sick and how i would always be sick again no sooner than i thot i was recovering. It was also by sheer chance that I discovered it may be gluten and/or dairy. It took no more than 3days and i was a free woman! Oh to wake up in the morning and NOT FEEL LIKE A TRUCK HAD RUN OVER U IN MY SLEEP ....joy unspeakable! Thq for sharing this! There r more of us out there who need to get off gluten n dairy. It's a life saver!
Darling, I was under the same problem for 40 years imagin always tired, difficulty coordinating words, brain fog, lack of concentration, and feeling so tired after 10hrs of sleep, taking 2times break while cleaning my home, migrain, vertigo, blader problem,......and much more problems. I quite gluten and Im bettet now but I need more to go
I suffered from the same symptoms for over 10 years. I would also lose feeling in my arms and extremities at night and had really shaky hands. I also figured out it was gluten but the doctors constantly diagnosed me with IBS and 'anxiety'. I am NOT an anxious person but they would not hear it. Kept trying to give me antidepressants. It was so bad that when I had a ruptured Ovarian Cyst and I lost 2L of blood internally, in A&E, the doctors kept rolling their eyes and saying I was having an anxiety attack. I truly believe I have actually developed PTSD with regards to illness and doctors now. GF diet, Probiotics and daily Vit D has changed my life.
I wont go to a doctor now unless i'm bleeding out or can't reset my own bones. Why waste hours of waiting to be told I'm wrong and take these, arrogant worms
Sounds very similar to my story! Severe Celiac symptoms since earliest childhood, now in my forties but never officially diagnosed. Instead it's been no end getting fobbed off by doctors with "IBS, anxiety, hallucinations, anorexia" etc. When my hair started to fall out it was accusations that I must be pulling my own hair out. When I explained that I have never had a period, I got accused of only imagining that. When I stated that I have never been anorexic, I got accused of only imagining that I eat. Strange that all my "hallucinations" stopped since I changed to a glutenfree diet 20 years ago. Somehow that would tell me that my symptoms were real and not imagined... but then what do I know, I'm only a stupid patient. (sarcasm) I fully agree with everyone on here, doctors are the pits and I avoid them now. I've also been traumatized by the way I got treated (and continue to get treated) by doctors who just want everybody on tons of tablets because it's big business for Big Pharma.
Because if the whole society got better, they would no longer have sick care ~ I mean, "Healthcare" ~ you know, those really expensive payments you have to pay for insurance? and then they keep billing you even months later...?
Im so happy you finally got the help you needed. I went through the exact same thing and my Dr completely dropped the ball. She just rolled her eyes at me when I listed the symptoms. I eventually figured it out on my own but I was sick for an additional 3 years thanks to her. Nobody should have to go through this, it feels just awful in every way.
@@vee9133 I got a lot of blood tests done and from that I was diagnosed with hashimotos with very high levels of inflammation. I was also diagnosed with significant insulin resistance and very low vitamin D and iron levels. We are attempting to treat it naturally first and may need medication for my thyroid if it doesnt respond. Thank you for asking. :)
@@magnoliannaart I've been going through similar things. I watch a Health coach Kait , who is very knowledgeable on how and what to eat and do to fix your metabolic system! She has helped me tremendously! I'm not retaining fluid anymore, and the weight is coming off, I feel great!
I'm really happy you found out what caused all your symptoms. I've been experiencing so much anxiety and I got depressed and IBS problems and I stopped eating a lot of food because I thought that I was getting sick off of it and I was going through so much like the vertigo severe headaches I've had a lot of trembling weak arms and knees always feel like I want to pass out I had almost everything you had. And what finally made me realize that it's just something more than anxiety was because every time I ate some kind of food I would feel so drowsy like I took some sleeping medicine and I was about to pass out all the time. So I had to look into it and I noticed that everything I was eating was mostly bread biscuits cereal chips tortillas period and every time when I got light-headed and dizzy and sleepy I noticed that everything had to deal with some kind of bread so I looked it up and I found out about celiac disease. I was so tired everyday to where it was not normal so I went to my doctor and I told him about gluten and all he did was just tell me to stop eating gluten for 10 days and come back to him. So on my second day of being gluten-free I noticed I had so much strength, all my bloating gas and heartburn and acid reflux went away I noticed I was more happy. I had no more anxiety or negative thoughts. And I felt so happy. So when I went to the doctors I told him how I felt and he says that I am gluten intolerant. I didn't take no blood test I didn't take nothing because he said that he would rather put me on a gluten-free diet first. And I'm so happy that I did it because I feel so alive now. So I'm very happy that you made this video and I appreciate you sharing your story
I’m going through something like this. Palpitations, insomnia & tremors. Then diagnosed with depression. Since stopping gluten I felt better but still not quite sure. I’ve started on AD & it made my anxiety worse. I’m on ketamine treatment too. But my energy came back 24 hours after stopping gluten.
I've been absolutely suffering from these same symptoms for ~5 years and my doctors are never helpful, how have they never suggested this? Todays the first day I'm not eating gluten and I already feel better than I have in a while, incredible. Thank you for making this video.
OMG u sound exactly like me!!! Anxiety, tremors, vertigo, chronic stomach infections, fatigue, migraines,TENSION HEADACHES, after constant antibiotics, anti depressants, laxatives, Zantac, naproxen for tension headaches that nothing helps with. Lawd I hate doctors forreal!!! Thank u for your story love ❤️ it’s greatly appreciated🙏🏽❤️
A lack of good "biotics" (pro-biotics) in the gut, can cause anxiety. So when a person takes anti -biotics, they are killing both good and bad out of their gut. Then when even a simple sugar is reintroduced inside a stomach, the system is broken down even further, damaging the intestines and causing a very unhealthy stomach ~unable to digest foods well, unable to absorb nutrients; like a domino effect. Things just continue to get worse and worse for that person. Best thing to do is get a good pro-biotic, (Plexus Vital BIOME) , get on a Keto diet (and gluten free) watch, corn, dairy, soy,....stay away from those things as much as possible...and over time,... see your whole body get BETTER.
I've dealt with most symptoms you've mentioned for over 10 years... I've been on all types of meds for my stomach issues but they never seem to go away. The vertigo didn't start until last summer. I went to the doctor and she literally had no clear explanation as to why I was feeling them, thankfully they went away after about 3 months. However, the bloating, brain fog, and constant tiredness were still my cryptonite. Just last Friday, a coworker asked me why I was working from home instead of the office, and I shared with her all of these symptoms I was feeling that morning. Immediately she asked me if had bread for breakfast? I said "Yes". In fact i had LOTS of bread that morning...aye, I'm a breakfast type of guy. Her response was: "STAY AWAY FROM GLUTEN!". Of course she shared her story and it resonated with me. The very next day, I had a cheese omelette for breakfast ( PS: Dairy does not affect me much, in fact it soothes my stomach aches). My goodness I never felt better!!! In over 10 years, I have never felt so fueled and fired up in the morning since that day. It's amazing how one small change can affect your entire body...and life for that matter. Clarity of thoughts, feeling less overwhelmed even though I work in a very stressful and fast paced IT field, better quality of sleep... you name it. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
Vertigo, hairloss, headaches, blurred vision that all make sense when your body is unable to absorb nutrients due to inflammation. I think a lot of people in this thread thing Gluten is actively causing those symptoms but it's more of a side effect of not being able to absorb vitamins and nutrients because gluten is causing inflammation.
@@Sam-xy9pu so in summary the awful symptoms of gluten intolerance is due to vitamin deficiency long term? what about the bodies defense mechanisms kicking in that treat it like a foreign body does that not come into play?
@@vvelvettearss the inflammation and pain are due to the gluten. Other weird symptoms that develop over time are due to nutrition deficiencies because your gut is constantly inflamed
@@Sam-xy9pu wow okay that makes sense. Relating here to the person who said "I feel like a duracell" since changing. For me it was bloating and i vaguely knew that the digestive issues caused some internal misery as well but very regular anxiety and depression was the main issue for me since about age 13 and an autism diagnosis in early twenties some years ago That might be right it might not be but since trying to heal my gut and watch my gluten and sugar SOMETHING has changed, i'm getting used to it I have a much more profound and deeper understanding of life of people, better focus, more serenity , consistancy, life is richer and more energised, more joy and the worry and anxiety are gone. I guess those could be caused by an inflamed gut too. I feel like I have to continue it because the symtoms make for a miserable life I'm very relieved i''m free from its grip now. Thanks for the input :)
I was diagnosed with Celiac 7 years ago. I had dizzy spells since I was a teenager. Also had heart palpitations. Right before diagnosis I was having POTS. If you still have neurological problems after going gluten free, try taking B12 as well. My symptoms got worse because I ended up having low B12 due to Celiac.
I can relate to your b deficiency problem. I was 20, & after I woke up after having brain surgery to remove my right temporal lobe that was crushed by forceps at birth; I was surprised by what the doctor said. The neurologist told me that my main cause of my Epilepsy from 3 months old until then, was caused by this brain injury from the forceps. But, he told me that not ALL of my seizures were Epileptic Seizures. Some were caused by my severe Hypothyroidism (Iodine Deficiency) that I was diagnosed with at 11 years old. Others were caused by serious sensitivities & allergies to things like: Grape Juice. That always caused seizures in me every time I drank it. Same with all cruciferous vegetables like: broccoli, cauliflower, rhutabega, spinach, turnips, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, & other foods, due to my thyroid problem. He also told me that both my Magnesium levels, & ALL my B Vitamin levels were dangerously low; & that these deficiencies were also causing me to have seizures as well. I was surprised because no doctor ever told me that I had a vitamin b or magnesium deficiency before this. Yet, not long after I went back home from this surgery, I paid extra close attention to my immune system's reactions, & sure as heck, I was still getting Auras off & on at times. And even now, if I don't get enough salt in my diet, take at least 150-300mg of a vitamin b complex daily, I will get auras. Auras are the same of the warning you get just before you're going to take a seizure. Now that I no longer have a brain injury or Epilepsy, I can easily figure out what's causing my auras, & not have others just brush it off saying, oh, it's just epilepsy. Something genetic in her family. Not true. I don't carry a gene for epilepsy. The neurologist specialist here in Ontario told me years ago that my epilepsy was not a genetic issue. It was caused my malpractice, period. He said the doctor who delivered me, caused my epilepsy. Not my parents' genetics. Therefore, take it from me. If you're anything like I am with these problems, or like what were talking about: ibs, celiac, digestive problems, lactose intolerant, etc.... Make sure you get your vitamin levels checked, & find out how much to take that's safe for you, & make sure to keep up with that. Because, look at what happens to me, if I don't. Seizures, Gastritis, Osteoporosis, Acid Reflux, Duodenal Ulcer, Pituitary Tumor, Sleep Apnea, Fatty Liver, & on & on for my list of health issues. These issues put me at an even greater risk for cancers, diabetes, bloodclots, heart attacks, strokes, etc... All that just for not getting enough nutrients daily. Remember, what's A good amount for you to take vitamin wise, isn't always good for someone else. So don't mock others. Stick to what a doctor specialist tells you, educate yourself on how much is good, & what is the max daily for you, etc... I had to do this myself because I had Osteoporosis of the spine at age 16. All because, at around age 11, I started noticing that I couldn't drink cow's milk anymore, & was having trouble with most types of cheese, cream soups, etc... So, I quit eating cereal altogether, drinking milk, cut back on almost all cheeses, & limited my amount to a very small amount once in a month or a year even when it was really bad. When it was severe, I quit all milk products & within just those 5 years of doing that, I ended up shrinking at least 2 or more inches in height at that age. And all because, I cut out what bothered me, & didn't have anyone to tell me about my serious deficiency in time before it got to the point of Osteoporosis. I had to take 1,000mg daily for years because I couldn't have any milk products at all. Now I can have some cheese. Especially, mozzarella but, don't eat too many other kinds & brand names do matter too. Because some are worst than others. So, make to be your own doctor to some degree by educating yourself as much as possible about whatever problem you have: Read, Read, Read, & always ask a doctor or pharmacist about supplements it's & what's safe for you & get your levels checked at least once a year or more. If you do that, you'll learn how to manage your issue like a pro. Hope all goes well for you & everyone else. Take care & all the best. :)
Thank you for telling your story. I am having similar issues, my major issue is joint pain with gluten. Doctors are not helpful =( especially in the US. Im so tired and drained/ discouraged with doctors.
I'm so sorry you are suffering from similar issues! Have you tried cutting out gluten and have is there anything you have found helps with symptoms? Thanks so much for commenting and sharing your story too! It's such a shame doctors are so unhelpful with this :(
JOINT PAIN was the biggest issue with my gluten intolerance. It mimiced rheumatoid arthritis. I would also experience MASSIVE fibromyalgia symptoms ALONG with chronic fatigue syndrome...
Same symptoms here. Most troubling are blurred vision, vertigo, and extreme fatigue. Can't function normally and is very debilitating and scary. Developed anxiety and panic attacks. I am also insomniac. I am most glad I open your video. I am now starting to eliminate those culprits and hoping to feel my old, vibrant self again. Thank you and may The Lord bless us all with great health.
I've experienced most of the symptoms you described - vertigo, nausea, anxiety, shaky hands, vision/focus issues. But the main benefit I got from cutting out gluten was how much more clearly I can think now! People describe it as brain fog, but it almost felt like short term memory issues. It was difficult for me to recall things I just said moments ago, or to read books without constantly backtracking, or even to pay attention to conversations with people. I thought I was just in a bad mood, or had anxiety issues that kept me from focusing. I often wondered what happened to me, when as a child I could easily read a book in one night. I've been on a gluten free diet for just about 2 weeks now, and since day 5 my mind has been so much more clear! I can keep up with conversations, lose myself in a book, and play music again, after over a decade of thinking I just wasn't motivated enough to do any of that stuff. It's still hard for me to believe that gluten was the cause of it all!
@@jennaelisabeth2768 yeah, that was happening to me for about 3 weeks. I tried cutting out dairy and every other grain (corn, rice, oats, etc) and after about a week of that my nausea went away pretty much completely! I've read that although there haven't been studies on it, many people with gluten intolerance and celiac feel better after removing all grains. Another thing to keep in mind is that there's trace amounts of gluten in a lot of things, so it's best to stick with certified gluten free stuff and unprocessed fruits/veggies for the elimination phase of the diet, and then carefully add one food to see how it effects you. For me, it seems like dairy causes digestive issues but no nausea. Whenever I've tried drinking oat milk or eating corn tortillas, I get the same symptoms I used to get - waking up nauseous and needing to use the bathroom. Good luck and I hope you figure out how to start feeling better!
@@fishgerms thank you so much for all this info! I’m 2 weeks in and it has been a rough journey like most. Looking forward to when I can feel better 🙏🏼 thank you for the tips! It gives hope to know others dealt with the same and came out better and stronger 🙏🏼
Wow! You are so lucky! Your cousin is your guardian Angel! ❤️ Your story is so similar to mine! But my health deteriorated further to the point where I was vomiting blood, and my organs began to shut down. I was tested twice for celiac, and both times it came back negative. The third time was finally positive. I was like you, feeling really dehydrated and then I started vomiting a lot. Within 2 weeks I was in the ICU fighting for my life. I was only 35 at the time. I was very fortunate that a very experienced Head doctor was in Emergency teaching when I was brought in, and he took interest in my case. He didn’t leave my side for over 3 days. I believe he save my life. It took me close to over a year to start to feel like a normal person again, and get my strength back. Gluten can be a life threatening allergy.
I gave up gluten to see if it would help with the menstrual and bladder pains and within a couple of months they had all gone. Completely. Severe pain period, bladder pain, bowel pain and a lot of anxiety came with it. So when I gave up gluten. Giving up dairy helped quite a bit then gluten got rid of them completely. Never been diagnosed as the doctors didn't think it was anything to worry about!!! Loved hearing your story.
Aw I'm so glad that cutting gluten and dairy out took away your problems! It's such a shame you couldn't be diagnosed - it's a shame doctors don't look further into intolerance's being the cause! I'm so glad you managed to fix it yourself though! I wish more people knew to consider gluten being an issue.
Michael Halligan hahaha I actually agree with you there!! My doctor has sent me off to be tested for celiac disease despite the fact that I haven't eaten any for weeks except the accidental glutening I had on Sunday which is still giving me symptoms!
This is glorious, I've been looking for "severe ibs" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Mackorny Defeat IBS Blueprint - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my co-worker got great success with it
I don't know what's wrong with me, it could be a brain tumor or just a sinus infection, but I went to the doctor for dizziness and memory issues and they told me it was anxiety. They say everything is anxiety. If I go in saying I feel anxious they tell me it's depression. (I have terrible IBS, stomach pain, joint pain, ADHD...)
Omg im having almost the same problems.... when i have my period my whole stomach hurts. Not just down there. Im hoping going gluten free can help me also gain weight
Thanks for sharing. I endured almost a decade in a similar state becoming ever more desperate to find solutions. It was brain fog that troubled me more than the physical symptoms not being able to follow basic conversations or perform at even basic cognitive levels. It is about time that GP's receive more training around intolerance and nutrition and help us all to understand the root causes at play rather than treat symptoms.
OMG! I got my diagnosis this week and my doctor says I have a gluten intolerance. I never linked ALL these symptoms before until now, watching your video. Vertigo is crazy, some days I felt like being pushed out of bed. Also, whith the blur in the eyes some days I couldn't see anything. Hopefully my blood test showed the problem.
@@luciam.delafuentegonzalez2060 I recently realized that I'm gluten intolerant too. I never knew that vertigo was a part of it, and its gone now! I also couldn't lose weight, had a lot of fluid retention, didn't sleep good, my joints and muscles always felt like I had the flu. I was told I might have Fibromyalgia. I'm getting my life back finally! I did a metabolic reset and the weight is finally coming off! I watch a Health Coach Kait on RUclips, and she is very knowledgeable on how and what to eat to feel better! Good luck to you 😁!
Great video. Very inspiring. I had a gluten-free, dairy-free Thanksgiving Holiday and my depression was miraculously much relieved after only three days of being GF and DF. I'm praying it's real, and pinching myself hoping its not a dream. I would do anything to get rid of this insidious illness which has plagued me for over twenty years. (depression) I came here looking for hope and I got it from you. Thank you!
@@speedboy623 I was doing great until yesterday when I had a sandwich (gluten bread) but I'm also noticing it seems sugar is playing a role in my depression as well. Sugar in all carbs (breads, pasta, yogurt, popcorn, wine, beer, any alcohol at all...the list goes on and on....). This week I'm going to try and eat mostly meat, eggs and vegetables. Vegetables have carbs (and therefore sugar) but not nearly as much as any processed foods. I'll eat some fruit, but eat it whole i.e. oranges, apples, bananas etc). I'm also trying to get out and walk just a few miles each day. I'll let you know how it goes. If I forget, just respond to this and I'll get a notification reminding me to update you. If you are able to, I'd love for you to try the diet I mentioned above and let me know how it's going for you. I am convinced its sugar and gluten. Google "sugar and the brain" or something to that effect and you might be inspired to give it up too! Thanks for asking about me.
Peace Love I went to the store today after leaving the hospital, all my test were good, I’m quite healthy, except I am producing a bit more white blood cells which can be a sign of auto immune. Anyway I bought a bunch of fruits and vegetables all organic and some natural drinks like coconut water and pomegranate juice. After eating a few fruits and vegetables and some spinach I can say I feel joy for the first time in a while. Definitely going to keep going with it I’ll also report back. Wish you the best.
Loved this video. I struggle with vestibular migraines and terrible vertigo. In the process of completing blood work for Celiac . One test came back mild positive. I'm going to try your method. So tired of being dizzy and not feeling normal. My Daughter is Celiac so I wanted to be tested. Thank you for this awesome video.
I also have vestibular migraine. I tested negative for Celiac disease. I left gluten for 25 days and did not help much. Did u go gluten free and if yes, did u feel any improvement in symptoms of vestibular migraine?
With everything you have tried, your journey sounds a lot like mine! My entire body broke out in a very itchy rash and that’s what made me realize somethings up. I have severe fatigue as well, headaches, anxiety, depression, dizzy spells, Gi issues, plus more and feeling overall unwell 24/7!!! I would have a semi good day here and there but I am at my wits end. I also feel this constant lump in my throat too. My symptoms were not as severe as yours but bad enough. I think going vegan for a time really helped. Your video and it helped me a lot, I’m pretty positive I have a gluten intolerance of some kind. I have already cut out dairy and I’m cutting out all gluten today! Thank you!
Thanks so so much for this video. I can't tell you how much I identified with the issues you were having. I've had migraines, IBS, joint and muscle pain and really bad mental health issues for the last 10+ years and like you was told that it was anxiety that was causing it. Was eventually diagnosed with haemochromatosis but when treatment for that didn't help I tried going gluten and dairy free, and I can't tell you the difference it's made to my health. I've only been on this diet for a few days and I already feel better than I've felt in years. More people, especially doctors, should know about this. There are probably thousands of people out there just like us who are really struggling. Anyway sorry for the big essay but thanks again for this. It really helps to know I'm not the only one going through this stuff.
I appreciate you sharing your story. As someone with gluten allergy and complex migraine sufferer, I appreciate the struggle with multiple symptoms and how to cope when you feel like your body is falling apart.
Your progression of symptoms is very similar to mine. Headaches and migraines when I was younger, to more severe when I was in high school and college. Around college, I started dealing with EXTREME fatigue, then came the IBS, GERD and GI Mobility problems. It felt like having the stomach flu for 2 years straight. I have also suffered from depression and anxiety, so I figured a lot of these concerns were stress-induced. Started seeing a psychiatrist and psychologist again- it didn't help. Had tests done by my GI doctor and started taking probiotics and it helped a bit, but not a solve-all for me. I started doing my own research and came across celiac and I had a hit, got tested, and my IGA test was so high the test couldn't give an accurate number. I am just recently going gluten-free, and my bloating, fatigue, and nausea symptoms are starting to get better. It's going to take a while for me to get back to normalcy due to the damage in my small intestine.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I recently stopped eating gluten and saw instant improvement in my symptoms! I could not believe it! I have been telling everyone about the wonders of no gluten, and I have been sharing your video with everyone in my family. Thank you!
There is growing evidence that the connection between digestion and brain function are inexorably linked. Hopefully more research into the microbiome will help us better understand how digestion effects our mental health.
My doctor has Celiac disease and her daughters have Non-celiac gluten sensitivity, so she was understanding and she didn't hesitate to send me for tests. Turns out I have NCGS, a week into gluten-free eating my panic attacks and anxiety are gone, my hand numbness is gone, and my muscle pains are gone. My rosacea is gone too, bonus! I haven't felt this good in 17 years.
Dear Autumn, I was diagnosed with IBS. Recently I had a viral infection that cause me to be in the hospital for 3 days. I was not Covid, but I noticed that the IBS symptoms were worst. I began to eliminate foods that nauseated me and caused me pain. But it wasn't until I ordered a vegan gluten free meal of Lo mein that I discovered that I needed to go to an allergist. After that meal my eyes and cheeks were swollen and red, I had nerve pain in my hand and feet, mild temours, one side of my nasal passage was closed and I had a sinus pressure headache. I felt nauseous and weak. So I am praying as I go to the allergist/ immunologist I will get some help. Would you know what despite ordering a gluten free meal O would have that reaction? Before that meal I eliminated nuts,dairy,and wheat. I'd be grateful for your feedback. Thank you for this valuable video about your journey to regarding your health.
I am 28 years old and was diagnosed with a gluten intolerance last week. I had suffered with some of my symptoms for 16 years. I had severe joint pain in my legs and hips. Recurrent mouth ulcers. Abdominal pain, acid reflux, brain fog, fatigue, bloating, weight gain, and so much more that I am forgetting at the moment. I also was suffering with infertility for the past 4 years since getting married and wanting children. I am so glad that I finally found out what was wrong! I have been gluten free for about 5 days now and all of my mouth ulcers are now gone and I feel like a completely different person! Thank you for making this video! I hope you are doing well still! ❤
You just described my last couple of months; I hope to God that’s what I have because I’m sick of all these symptoms. I’m so glad you got better, I wish you all the best, hope you never get sick ever, you seem like a very nice person!
I used to get migraines here and there, so I suppose I’m fortunate to not have suffered from them as much as you. I had ballooned to over 310lbs, I suffered from IBs, Heart palpitations, aching bones, chronic pain in my body that felt like I was melting inside (inflammation), blurred vision, confusion, fatigue, shortness of breath, hypertension, vertigo, numbness in my feet and arms, rapid and irregular heart beat, the list could go on, and I’m sure there was more but I had decided that I would try to see a doctor. My doctor did a stool and blood test, found nothing but said I needed to lose weight.. duh. I’m 6’2” and was a power lifter. I had gone through different patterns of eating clean and then eating like a dump truck. I always ballooned up and I just figured it was America’s obesity from fast food.. which it very well may have been. But after I entered my 30’s... my body had had enough. I developed extreme ibs, inflammation and was beginning to feel pain deep in my arteries, armpits and inner thigh/hip region. I had tons of muscle and ate clean when I was power lifting - rice, veggies, chicken... but it wasn’t until things got really back this past year that I decided to try to cut gluten and dairy out of my diet. I’m sure my issues came from the American diet, but now I cut all gluten, dairy, beef, and caffeine from my diet. I feel amazing now, and in a matter of 4 months, my body course corrected, I lost 55 lbs, and aside from just watching my cholesterol, I’m very healthy now. I’ve tested eating gluten and dairy again. The dairy makes me retain water and upsets my ibs.. so obviously lactose intolerant. The gluten causes rapid inflammation, causes me to immediately throw up at times, or knocks me out like I had gone into a diabetic coma. I am not diabetic and even my doctor said I wasn’t even pre-diabetic when I was 310 6’3” and working out everyday. Basically, you’re 100000% right, and I’m a gluten survivor.. because I was on my way out due to Gluten, thankfully we caught it, and now it’s all good!! 🤙🏼🙌🏼 take care fellow survivor!! 🤗
I’m Sooooooo Happy For You!! Believe me I know how you felt, I just recently 3-4 days ago was told by my doctor that I am allergic to gluten, wheat, hazelnuts, sesame seeds, almonds, walnuts... as far as my symptoms I had just about everything you’ve mentioned especially IBS, and brain fog. But since I was informed I have been feeling much better, I feel human again.
I've had most of the symptoms you described for the past about 11 years, and they've been progressively (but slowly) getting worse as the years go by. I, too, had many of the same worries about graduating college and not being able to find a job with the symptoms, except I then went on and failed to get a job and become independent for far too many years because, just as I feared, the symptoms made having a job nearly impossible. I've never been one to put much stock in "cure all" trends like raw veganism, coconut oil, etc. but I'm starting to think gluten just might be my problem. Can't hurt anything to try going without it for a few weeks. I'm glad you were able to get your issues sorted out. I know all too well the hell of not having a diagnosis and therefore having to try your best to carry on with life as if you don't have health problems because you can't get any assistance without a diagnosis.
Terrible joint pain when I was 11-13 years old. IBS, PCOS, migraine when I was a teen. ( Cupping therapy treated my migraine headaches completely! ) Brain fog and fatigue, the whole of my life. Adhd, depression, bad sleep. Hair loss, bad nails, bad hairs. Now I'm 28 yrs old, experiencing nausea since 4 months ago. God how did lived my life with those illnesses?! Gluten ruined my life, I used to live my life with those pains but now I'm kind of happy because finally I do know what is the source of my past and present illnesses and I can treat it. The doctor I've recently visited was totally confused with my symptoms but he was a supporter dr, He was like wow! you know about gluten intolerance! He told my mom that I diagnosed my problem like a professional doctor! (I just can't understand why doctors are so ignorant about gluten, the info is everywhere in the net!) I'm very new to gluten free diet, but I still experience very bad nausea-reaction to eating large amount of chickpeas, potatoes also soy, instant coffee and bone broth. Which is weird because they introduced to us as gluten free. But I guess I have extremely inflammatory guts that can't tolerate carbs and dairy. Let me know if u have same experience with carbs, maybe we can help each other. Sorry for bad ENG, I'm not a native speaker. Wish u all health and wellness ✨🤍
Yep this was me before I stopped eating gluten on my own and found out that it was the culprit. I thought that I had cancer and that I was dying or something. The worst symptom by far was the panic attacks though, I probably wouldn't have even realized what was going on had it not been for the panic attacks. They made me afraid to eat at all, and caused me to start eliminating things from my diet.
This has been me for the past like five years. It all makes sense. I’ve always been allergic to wheat, grains, and have been diagnosed with hashimotos and anxiety…uhhh i had no idea hashimotos and gluten intolerance have a HUGE connection. Just started gluten free and I feel so good
I am so happy that I came across this video. I have been experiencing all of these symptoms. I was so confused because I was a mainly plant based. Everyone around me was very confused as I eat very well and I’m very particular. I prayed and fasted with water and smoothies for seven days and the symptoms went away, rest my system. The other day I had a burrito, chips, and a bagel. I was stress eating going to doctors and hospital appointments trying to figure out what these symptoms are and if im ok... as a result all of the symptoms came back in less than 24 hours. I have a strong feeling it was gluten. Now that I know this I’m going to deliberately remove gluten and see what happens
I had a disheartening day. I told the doctor that it was gluten that was affecting my health, and I felt much better without it. But he tried to make it seem like I had psychological issues, along with anxiety and stress, and he said that my symptoms wasn't related to gluten at all. He wanted to make me take antidepressants for the anxiety (that I was not even experiencing after I've stopped gluten). He just thinks it's a placebo effect and the power of suggestion, and he thinks that I can eat anything I want just fine, but he thinks that I just believe that I can't do it because I'm just having anxiety around food (none of this is true though). I left his office with unanswered questions, and feeling worse than before, and heavily misunderstood. But I know the problem is gluten for sure, and not what judgements he made about me. I do feel absolutely and completely better without gluten.
I saw a nutritional nurse who suggested a blood test I asked if I that can include a gluten test she said oh no you don't need that! I went in the next morning and I'd left my referral paper at home I had an option to go back home and get it or wait and see a doctor and get another so I saw a doctor and asked if the test could include a gluten test he said yes. When I came back for the blood test results she the nurse stared at the computer screen for 3 minutes without saying anything just staring I snapped her out of it by asking is everything ok? She had to inform me I have Coeliac Disease my results showed the highest count possible she just printed of a couple of pages of information handed them to me,she looked uncomfortable and just wanted me gone.
I struggled with awful migraines for years, and had very bad vertigo twice. I happened to find a video by Dr. Mark Hyman on migraines and he recommended removing gluten from your diet to eliminate migraines. I stopped eating gluten and haven't had another one since I eliminated gluten!
Your story rings so true to me. So many similarities including the anxiety diagnosis. No tests would show anything. Even lost my gal bladder. Glad you are feeling better
Thank you for sharing this story. I went through this for 5 years (probably longer). A lot of money and suffering to finally figure out what was going on with me. Western medicine has really failed society for these chronic issues.
I am so happy I found this video!!! I’ve been experiencing very similar symptoms! I was so scared, they said it was a migraines. I have so many of the symptoms you had, like the pain in the arm, and leg, legs feel dead, exhaustion etc. They have no idea what’s wrong with me. I’ve been in and out of the doctors. They are doing a bunch of tests. I already had IBS and cut out dairy. I started cutting out gluten for a few days, and I feel so much better already, not 100% but I know I will if I am struck cutting out gluten and dairy! I’m going to continue to get tested and have them check for gluten intolerance. Again, thank you so much for sharing this video, it helps so much to know I’m not alone in this :)
I literally have tears in my eyes to watch your video. I've been dealing with the same symptoms for about an year now. Firstly, I had a burnout and then I found out that I have CPTSD. I inserted an hormonal IUD and everything went even worse (I have a video like yours talking about it too on my channel). Unfortunately, the docs stayed more on the "mental" side, and I never thought of this possibility untill recently where I said I can't take these symptoms related to my guts anymore and that's how I came accross your video and I have literally everything you said. I've been only eating liquids for the last 2 days and already saw am improvement (especially cause I couldn't go to the loo anymore), so first thing on Monday I will contact my GP and ask for a gluten/celiac/lactose intolerance test. Thank you very much for sharing your story. Sending you love
How did you get on with the test for Celiac? I've yet to meet a doctor who would be willing to do some tests for it instead of just dishing out antidepressants, painkillers, sleeping pills, tranquilizers, Immodium and every other drug going.
Gluten is horrible! I watched my mom go through life miserable and we did not know why. The depression, brain fog, ibs, fatigue etc was so debilitating for her so much that she started self medicating and is no longer with us😞
I very much appreciate your sharing and details! I've been a chronic migraine sufferer now for about 25 years they're getting progressively worse. I'm now 38. I tested low for thyroid I know I'm sensitive to sugar , I stopped drinking milk and cut out most breads and preserved foods and I still.get them. I'm reading into the keto diet , because my sugar sensitivity I think I have insulin resistance. I'm so happy you figured yours out. It's so depressing cutting out so many foods. I hate going to grocery stores now. And I feel you on the fear in the job world I feel stuck until I get this figured out.
Tami O I very much appreciate the suggestion, I have tried that one, oddly it made me dizzy and nauseous so it kinda intensified some of the migraine symptoms I already had. Butterbur seems helpful but it's pricey :-/
Hi Lena, i have the same - but I read that sugar sensitivity can be caused by having eaten gluten for too long, which can destroy your intestinal lining which absorbs carbohydrates. Keto diet worked for me and paleo diet also. My new therapist says if I avoid gluten and take vitamin supplements I should be able to heal the intestines and be able to eat everything except for gluten. Good luck!
I just found this video today. This was me too. I have migraines and recently diagnosed ibs but it was the dizziness and ground moving and loss of directions that made me feel like I was losing my mind that motivated me to see an ENT and getting a proper diagnosis of vestibular migraine that is treatable with a low fodmap diet. I’m only 3 weeks in and can’t believe the difference it’s made. I feel like you that I don’t ever want to try the foods like gluten and dairy in case they trigger that horrible mess all over again. Thank you for putting this out there.
I’ve suffered from severe and chronic migraines since I was 7. I used to be in the ER 2-4 times a week. It was awful and changed my life in many ways. I’m now 21 and the IBS symptoms, dizziness, eczema, inflammation began. I cut gluten out of my diet and it’s really really helping. After all that, like you said, good riddance lol. Glad you were able to find the problem as well!
if u have tried these already and didn't find any changes..u might have different condition. please also try continuing the good diet while having neck stretching every morning for atleast 10mins. and a cup of natural ginger tea before bed.. i find it very effective for my headache,dizziness and severe vertigo. i have this condition for about 3months now but after trying those things, my condition became better and better just for a week.. just keep a little patience guys and hopefully u gonna find urselves in a better condition.may God bless us all gudluck
THIS IS LITERALLY EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED TO ME! thank you so much! now I have tried illuminating gluten! feeling better only 2 weeks in. This video is a life saver!
Thank you for posting this - it is a shame that not many doctors are very open to the idea that gluten might be causing issues to so many people. My niece and nephew are both gluten, dairy and soya intolerant but it never occurred to me until recently that my IBS was made worse due to gluten. I tested negative for Coeliac but decided to try gluten free to see if that would help - and it has to some extent and I have stabilised my IBS-D after taking some soluble fibre supplements. What amazed me though were the other “side effects” of no gluten. After about 4 days I realised I hadn’t had a headache in 2 days - and I am 50 and have had a headache every single day for 35 years! My joint pain is better, I have more energy, I feel more cheerful and I even think I can see more colourfully (if that makes any sense!). These things are not in my imagination because they are not the benefits that I was actually seeking. You have my sympathies with migraine - especially so often - I have aura migraines that are horrible if I eat bananas or pear drops (I think it’s either the pear/banana essence in them or else the colouring) but of course that is so specific that it’s relatively easy to avoid.
You just described all my symptoms!! I have been having headaches for 4 months and vertigo started a months ago. I have been off work for almost a month....seen ENT, Neurologist and they can't figure out what's wrong. They gave me meds and my body rejects them. I will try this starting tomorrow...wish me luck...I've been feeling so sad lately. You just gave me hope!!!
Oh no :( I am so sorry you've been suffering from these issues! I am glad you could relate to my story though and that I give you hope! How are you doing since cutting gluten out of your diet?
This was my story minus the headaches and vertigo. Lots of IBS and eventually GI infections. Eventually had surgery but still felt ill. As soon as I stopped gluten and minimized dairy, within 5 days the change was drastic. Normal feeling for the first time in over 4 years. Like you, I still have a hard time believing it. I will never touch gluten again! Doctors really need to start recognizing this and studying it. I saw 5 different GI doctors, had multiple CT scans and tests, and was in constant pain and depression. It took a desperate visit to a nutritionist to suggest trying gluten free. I am now normal and healthy again! So thankful!
Hello. I have had the same exact symptoms as you for ever! I just dawned on me today that I may be gluten intolerant and did some research and wow, I have all the classic symptoms. Thanks for sharing your experience!!
I have every one of your symptoms and more including hypertension, chest pain, osteoarthritis, joint inflammation, and chronic urticaria. I am 56 years old and have had these symptoms since 19. I will be stopping wheat now and hopefully the symptoms will decrease. Been dairy free (vegan) for a year. Fingers crossed and hopeful for a new life. Thank you so so so much for sharing your story Marie. Much love. Kelly
I’ve had chronic migraines (3-5 a week) for about 15 yrs. I thought going gluten free got rid of them, but that only lasted a few months. But my stomach issues of close to 40 years are gone. I went to so many specialists as well.
Hi Marie! Thank you so so much for sharing your powerful story! I use to love eating seeded brown bread rolls with organic peanut butter, drink organic raw milk, and enjoy sourdough breads with yummy jams! I am going to make a very, very long story short! I can absolutely relate to the feeling of poisoned explosive migraines, coupled to mouth ulcers, then also sporadic joint pain and dermatitis on my face... I decided at a stage to cut largely bread and Marmite out as these were probably my greatest offenders! My doctor finally sent me for a celiac test once he saw the dermatitis on my face! The test came back negative.. I then started eating bread again thinking gluten cannot be the problem, and literally 1.5 hours later was man-down with a migraine again! My doctor then sent me for a celiac gene test, and it came back positive HLA DQ2.2 and he asked me to cut out whet, rye, barley and even oats for a while. The dermatitis that looked like blisters, scars and warts simply dried up and faded away, and the migraines are now more low grade headaches! I however, have now discovered that both A1 & A2 cows milk products are sadly a problem for me, as it seems to "mimic" the previous symptoms I had with gluten. My symptoms have largely cleared up since removing gluten!
My esophagus is extremely swollen from my belly being so badly upset. I have bad chest pains also. I didn’t realize this could effect your vision! I’ve experienced this too!! I feel like I’m going crazy!! Like my body is giving up on me. So depressed
anybody have numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, also like my body jolts as if its scared, very weak muscles, fatigue and aching joints. Just a few of my symptoms! Great video by the way
@@svensun thanks mate, how long after given up gluten would you say you felt better, I went without gluten for 6 weeks but didn't really notice any difference!
David Evans I would say that I felt better after a week, but the changes toward recovery were slow and incremental. It was probably a month before the numbness was gone in my hand. My fatigue faded slowly over the course of a month as well. If you’re going to do this then you need to be super diligent and not let any gluten at all into your system in order to feel the benefits.
I know this is a very old post..but I have done exactly the same as you recently. My doctors treated me like an hysterical middle aged woman and only prescribed beta blockers. They said it was anxiety. I have given up gluten and dairy after research on you tube the American's have so much knowledge on this. Not totally cured but a lot better. Hope you are ok now.
I'm 74 and for 8 years I have had severe IBS. Currently I'm seeing a Digestive Doctor who saw stop all dairy for a week. I did and the severe pain I had with the IBS stopped. Second I stopped all caffeine and soda. Still have the diarrhea. Next I cut out all sugar. During the past month I had a Colonoscopy and Endiscopy . I find out the results tomorrow. The diarrhea has decreased some but I'm working with my Doctor on a solution. I had prior colon surgery which had started this problem. Before it I didn't have a problem. I don't think in the other years after the surgery did I tell how bad it was to my doctor, so thats my fault. But now she is great and so helpful. So I should find out tomorrow if I have Celiac disease and or thyroid problems as well. So glad I ran across your story. 🙏👍
what stood out too me in this video is the neurological symptom's you mentioned! for almost a year I have been distort trying too figure out what is wrong with me! I have the same drop body feelings weird heaviness from head too toes, feels like I'm being pulled down, slight dizziness blurry vision...fast heart rate upon standing the works! a doctor diagnose me with POTS but I strongly know in my heart that's not it! and if so what is the root cause! I'm going to finally give gluten free a try. thank you for this video
Hey please lmk if that worked for you, I have literally the same exact dizziness symptoms. Feeling like I’m on a boat and being pulled down. It’s awful
so thankful to you to make this video it have nearly all the symtoms including horrible migraine attacks. have started no gluten diet. thanks again. Tayyaba from Pakistan
Thank you so muxh. I feel spaced out/dizzy/braim fog sine 2 years and its been hell. Trying to figure it all out and keeping my hopes high, which doctors immeditally crushed. Now I am trying to be gluten free and PRAY for all this blurry to go away. I just really hope but cry a lot as well. Lets see what happens :)
Not been able to get out of bed for 11 months. my husband took me to a doctor this morning . im being tested for CD!. headaches/ flu type symtoms / excruciating pain all over abdomen. sweating / heart palpitations. fear i was going blind.. blood pressure spiralling out of control.. i really couldnt of gone on feeling like death warmed up everyday. .. i wouldnt wish this illness on anyone .. keep safe y'all x
I think it's time for me to truly consider this. I thought about it in the past, and a few people have mentioned the possibility to me. But I think it's time for me to go down this route, with your symptoms starting all the way from childhood more mildly like that, and progressing into pretty much everything you said I relate so much. Thank you for sharing your story!
The poison feeling I totally get too. It can even feel like zaps and things moving under my skin. It’s so bad! When I cut out gluten for a year I healed. Anxiety eventually got so so bad! Glad you figured out.
Thank you so much for your story! I am terribly sorry with what all you had to go through. That must have been a dreadful experience for you! I haven't gotten tested for it yet by a doctor, but I believe I am gluten intolerant. I have had mostly all of your symptoms daily. I also took a test to see if I am gluten intolerant which I found out i am because i checked off 18 of the signs. Bless your heart. I am so glad you are feeling better. XX
Your story matches my story, the only difference is mine has not been as severe that's severe as your symptom. My son was diagnosed with celiac. We changed the whole family's diet and I have been gluten free for 24 hours and already I feel so much better.
For so many years now I've been so troubled with a lot of things that have been going on with my mind and body. Hearing you listing a lot of those has helped end a lot of the stress I've been dealing with in trying to understand why these things were happening to me. No one could give me an answer as to what was happening to me. I've recently been diagnosed from a biopsy in July with being gluten intolerant since I'm now experiencing severe skin issues but hearing you speak of the migraines/auroras, vision problems now make me believe that these symptoms very well could be because of gluten and dairy all along. I've often would get the blurred vision in my left eye noticeably and it would also include me sitting in a state of confusion as well as getting a weird tingle and numbness feeling in my fingers. lately walking for a good period of time has been seeming challenging strength wise. I'm so glad I've come across this video because I've reached a point where it's been mentally and physically draining. I'm suppose to be tested for Celiac soon so unfortunately they're having me eat a normal diet so I have to deal with the issues for now. But thank you so much for sharing this
Oh wow, my symptoms are pretty much the same as yours. Electric shock pain is the worst. Currently a week off gluten and dairy and still feeling ropey but at least the shock pains have gone. Thanks for this video!
@@marieaustin10 Thank you! I saw a neurologist yesterday who isn't convinced I'm intolerant to gluten/dairy and suspects it may be a placebo effect. Who knows, but at least a paleo diet is relieving my symptoms. :)
Ooh, just one more thing (I sounds like Columbo!) The neurologist scribbled on a piece of paper which I found in my bag yesterday. It's a pretty weird way of giving someone a diagnosis, but it looks like he thinks I have Functional Neurological Disorder. Again, he wasn't convinced of a correlation with food, but it might be worth you having a look at neurosymptoms.org/ as our symptoms are very similar. Good luck!
I have to tell you your story is similar to mine similar health issues including severe hip arthritis pain which basically improved 90% when I went off gluten !!
I just did a blood test igg for food sensitivity. I had a slight sensitivity to gluten but my dairy and yeast was high. Somehow they are connected. I don't really have a lot of symptoms except some gut issues and tired. I did the testing to see if I had any sensitivity to things just to stay away from them. Thank you for sharing your story and trying to help others.
Can you consider making a video about how you avoid gluten and make sure it doesn't creep in if you're eating out at a restaurant or at someone else's home?
Wowww... thank you thank you thank you!!! The light bulb has gone off.. after 3 years of tests and procedures and no answers from doctors.. you have answered every problem I had. Wow.. thank you so much. 💓
I cut out gluten about five months ago from just feeling "off" it has helped so much. But what I've noticed is if I have any gluten at all I get a migraine for a week. The symptoms are definitely not hidden any longer. I will never eat gluten again as long as I can avoid it. These symptoms are terrible and I'm glad you found out what is wrong with you. You said you think you have celiac but your test came back negative. I went to a nutritionist and she said they haven't update the testing for it in over 30 years. So any small amount won't be detected. You may still have it so try your best to avoid those foods. Best of luck from Chicago:)
Thanks for your comment! It's shocking how many people get migraines from Gluten Intolerance!! Yet doctors never suspect gluten as their cause! I didn't realise the test was so outdated... It's a shame :/ Yeah... I haven't eaten any gluten in over 2 years now... And I feel great! :D I'm so glad you discovered the cause for your migraines and have learned to avoid them now! :)
It is awesome that you are feeling better, I really am, but I have a few questions. 1-Are you leaving your life as if you were a Celiac ? 2- How are you dealing with the cross-contaminated foods?
@@rankxy9767 yes I basically live my life completely gluten free like an allergy. I mostly make majority of my meals myself and check ingredients often. I think it's easy for me since I've always been allergic to dairy that im used to checking before eating.
Hello Marie I think you were very brave to tell what had happened to you. I have been a Gluten and Lactose tolerent person for going on 5 years now. I started being covered with very paiful blisters on my arms and buttocks. I was in agony and had trouble sleeping and those blisters were not small and very painful. When I finally did get to see a skin specialist he was shocked because he said he had never seen anything like it. He took loads of blood tests and nothing showed up from them. Then he decided to take a biopsy and that is when the results said I had a gluten and lactose problem. I had all the symptoms you mentioned but the one that worried me the most was the affect it had on my nervous system. I would wake up in the night shaking as though I had a shock. I am quite a bit older than you and the doctor told me that I would have to avoid wheat and proper milk for the rest of my life. I use lactose free milk but I can handle eggs and porridge oats and sometimes I even have corn flakes. I do not eat any food at all from tins because they are also not gluten free. I have one banana a day which is a good help but my favourite foods that I loved are long forgotten about now. Until I was diagnosed I kept away from everybody because I did not know if it was catching or not, especially when the blisters were weeping. I also eat loads of fresh tomatos which also seem to keep it under control. I also take 1 tablet a day so I can digest what I eat as I was unable to do so before the diagnoses. I have met people who have had children as young as 6 months old with this disease and almost lost them because they could not even have milk till a biopsy was taken. It is a dangerous disease and I have heard of people dying because of gluten and lactose tolerence. Take care.
THANK YOU. i was vegetarian and vegan for 8 years. felt so healthy and had no issues. i began the diet because i had digestive issues. i got over the diet last year and started eating meat, dairy, processed foods, baked goods, etc etc. Since i've reintroduced all those foods again, I've had terrible migraines, digestive issues, and i didn't realize it til you said it, but i get that walking on water/dizzy feeling ALL THE TIME. I'M SO DONE WITH THIS. my new diet will consist of mostly whole foods, fish, *sometimes* chicken, no dairy, and no gluten. Thankful for your video this has been confirmation to me. Hope you've been healthy and happy. God is good !
I went through similar things. Plus also a gluten rash. A doctor on the radio said gluten is bad for everyone. Luckily I stop eating gluten And everything was healed. It was a total coincidence

Thank you so much for sharing your story
I can’t do gluten and after a while I found out I can’t do oatmeal or eggs! Strange combo. Dairy seems fine. Hit me when I turned 40. I mostly just had IBS.
@@jesca4u My body complains instantly when i eat oatmeal. my belly, ovaries and uterus burns.
Thank you for sharing. I’m off dairy, wheat, grains & gluten which were causing me severe pain. Watch Dr William Davis’ videos on wheat, gluten & grains
I've stopped dairy and gluten. I feel much more energized but the band around my head pain is awful?
Yes!!! The same thing happened to me! The vertigo, migraines, blurred vision, shooting pain in my thighs, shaking, rash and anemia. Nurse practitioner told me its IBS because I didn’t lose weight and my celiac test also came back negative. I did research (i also prayed because im a believer) and found i could have an intolerance. Immediately I stopped eating gluten and within a few days my head fog cleared and i felt sooooo much better. Living gluten free isn’t so bad and definitely worth it!
Curious, what did your rash look like? Pretty sure gluten is my issue too
Similar story here
Amen!
That's how I found out I was allergic to gluten. The first time I ever heard of the term gluten free before it was popular I heard the Holy Spirit in a clear voice tell me to look into it.
Then ffw 8 years later when I was working with a doc i asked him to run allergy tests on me and he said ok and i asked him to add the celiac panel and he said i don't think you have that....
but said if you want it we can check for it.
And sure enough It came back positive. He then asked did I want to see a GI specialist to see if I had celiac disease or was just allergic to gluten. At this point I was getting ready to move out of state in a few weeks so I told him no that I will do it when I move.
@pinklacypearlsyes
I’m celiac, you don’t have to be medically diagnosed, believe me you know. If I get accidentally glutened I get very ill, bloating bowel pain I need a bathroom immediately I have brain fog dizziness, the fatigue is over welling, I can’t hardly put one foot in front of the other. It takes me two or three days to get over it. When I’m back on the gluten free diet, I’m fine again. I have a two yearly colonoscopy as bowel cancer is in my family, celiac never shows up as I’m gluten free. I was told I’d have to eat gluten for 6 weeks for it to show up in a colonoscopy. No way would I do that, I wouldn’t be able to leave my home.
Almost every symptom you described has been my life for the past year and a half. (I felt like I was experiencing a horrible hangover all the time, with all the *vertigo*, nausea, ibs stuff, headaches, *brain fog*, heart burn, etc). Dr.s couldn't figure it out. I finally figured out it was gluten for me. (I get no problems at all from dairy.) Thanks for sharing. It helps us know we are not crazy. :)
I’m getting many of the same symptoms, except Migraines, I’ve gone Gluten free, I hate asking this question, but how long did it take to see signs of recovery.
I hear 2-3wks but you should see improvement in maybe 3-5 days? Try to have 2 number 2s per day, eliminating is a gift. Be thankful you're not seriously constipated like me
How did you get rid of vertigo
How long did it take you to recover?
Same. Misdiagnosed since birth. 50 yrs of absolute misory, gluten expresses as severe fatigue and arthritis in me, and being over medicated with steroids and NSAIDs. Teeth like a meth head, body of a heroin addict, now dealing with all the long term damage.
Nearly cried watching this video, it's as if you're telling my story, so glad you have sorted out your issues. been gluten and dairy free for 3 weeks after 2 years of daily suffering, and I'm starting to feel the benifits already, the doctors always try to pass it off as anxiety!
I don't trust most doctors. Booklearning. No common sense.
so youre symptoms just started 2 years ago out of nowhere?
@@gotem370 @gotem370 since I was a kid, I had "ibs" grandad had it assumed he passed it down to me, I contracted covid 2 years ago had the usual symptoms was over it within a week, then on day 9, life as I knew it was over, had over 30 gluten related symptoms, including everything mentioned in this video + more, of course had no idea it was related to gluten or dairy at the time, literally thought I was dying every time I took a bite of food, even salad, I ended up in hospital, they kept saying I had heart burn, only after I lost 77 pounds in 6 weeks, they started taking my "heart burn" seriously" ... still fighting till this day however, I have cut out all gluten and dairy, and majority of symptoms have subsided, no more headaches, dizzy spells, being off balance, nausea, my vision has restored...I can walk properly again etc
I saw this video 3 years ago, and your testimony saved me. I'm so thankful to have found you. After dealing with several doctors, pills, daily pain, and deep despair, I saw you; ever since I got more information about gluten, habits, and food, my life quality has improved; I feel healthy and happy again. Thank you for sharing!!!
Aw that is so kind of you to leave this message. I'm so glad my video helped you, and that you're finally seeing improvements! It means a lot that I could help someone 😊
Do you eat any grains? Rice, oatmeal, corn, flax etc? Or do you just eat anything labeled gluten-free?
@@doreenanikewich8838 I do eat grains such as quinoa, chia, and flax. Also, I'm from Mexico, so a lot of corn is in my daily diet. I learned to bake simple gluten-free bread recipes with almond “flour,” bananas, and flax, which are great for my cravings. Sometimes, I cheat, and I have a piece of regular bread, but just occasionally because the next day, I'll feel like I was having a hangover.
jesus it's exactly what i have experience for the last 5-6 years. last months syntoms get worse , so desperate i cut gluten completely and guess what? in 3 days i was back to normal, 6 days i feel like a duracel!
That’s awesome!!!
Same for me. Have been suffering for years and cut out gluten entirely (out of desperation after having tried SO MANY THINGS) four days ago and I’ve been full of energy and not experiencing any of my usual IBS symptoms, dizziness, heartburn, etc. After 9 years of countless doctors and tests, I can’t believe this is all I needed!
@@elodiegabrielli7362 so considering trying this! Did you need to city dairy too?
@@marlac.876 I had already gone lactose free several years ago. I still eat dairy but I choose lactose free options or if I feel like indulging I take Lactaid to ease symptoms. Update since this post: many tests have been done and my gastroenterologist has diagnosed me with non-Celiac gluten sensitivity which essentially means I react to gluten like someone with Celiac but it does not cause long-term damage.
I am so happy I found this video I could cry. A lot of people who do speak out about their experience with gluten talk about the basic symptoms stomach aches, bloating, etc. If they talk about the brain fog and eye problems it is quickly and not severe. For the last few months I had started to convince myself something was horribly wrong with my brain and death was close! Hearing your story and your symptoms is such a relief to me. Take away my gluten, dairy, soy, everything I DONT CARE i will eat nothing but lettuce for the rest of my life if it means these symptoms clear up. I now feel confident no matter how my test results come back that the improvement I feel on a gluten free diet is enough to put my brain at ease. I hope you realize how many people this video has, can & will help others!!!
Do u think watching these kind of videos can cure you " Not at All". Don't waste your time watching videos and don't buy their useless plans. They Just want to rip you off.

This is exactly how I feel!!! I’m starting gluten free tomorrow!!
You are so lucky. I realized that I might have gluten intolerance just yesterday. I am 45 years old. I have all the symptoms you had. I cut gluten for one day. I already feel dramatic changes. I still feel grateful.
This is such a similar story to mine. So many health issues and mis-diagnoses. And it was all caused by gluten and dairy. Makes you wonder how many people are having the exact same problem and do not know it.
Hello. Would like to say that having adverse reactions by eating wheat could have various reasons, not necessarily due to the gluten. Wheat is rarely eaten as a whole grain, like a kamut / spelt salad or soup. People use to eat to much flour productsmany times, and probably not good quality flours and proper elaboration.
I humbletly think that if we could eat whole grains as berries, in soups, salads, risottos, overnight porridge...it would be fine most of the time. And whole grain rye sourdough bread would be great too. Not for people who suffer from celiac disease, of course.
Hope it can help. Greetings
Are you a section C baby?
Your story is so moving! I've suffered almost my whole life with ibs, constipation, bloating, reflux, postnasal drip, halitosis, etc. I have tried cutting out gluten before, but I wasn't very strict with myself and I would cave and eat gluten. The weird thing is I don't always feel bad after eating bread, so I'm not sure if I just have a delayed response or what. It pains me to hear that doctors are prescribing antidepressants for symptoms like these without even acknowledging diet. It is so sad. Thank you for your story!
They do me the same way... But it is gluten
Exactly my issues for 40over years and I nv knew till 2weeks ago! Absolitely debilitating laundry list of symptoms , the worst being horrible itchy cracky weepy skin , migraines and the brain fog. It feels like I was dying a slow but steady death. I hv learnt to live with it and cover it up pretty well, but only those who live with me knew how often I am sick and how i would always be sick again no sooner than i thot i was recovering. It was also by sheer chance that I discovered it may be gluten and/or dairy. It took no more than 3days and i was a free woman! Oh to wake up in the morning and NOT FEEL LIKE A TRUCK HAD RUN OVER U IN MY SLEEP ....joy unspeakable!
Thq for sharing this! There r more of us out there who need to get off gluten n dairy. It's a life saver!
Darling, I was under the same problem for 40 years imagin always tired, difficulty coordinating words, brain fog, lack of concentration, and feeling so tired after 10hrs of sleep, taking 2times break while cleaning my home, migrain, vertigo, blader problem,......and much more problems. I quite gluten and Im bettet now but I need more to go
Very happy 4u same here
I suffered from the same symptoms for over 10 years. I would also lose feeling in my arms and extremities at night and had really shaky hands. I also figured out it was gluten but the doctors constantly diagnosed me with IBS and 'anxiety'. I am NOT an anxious person but they would not hear it. Kept trying to give me antidepressants. It was so bad that when I had a ruptured Ovarian Cyst and I lost 2L of blood internally, in A&E, the doctors kept rolling their eyes and saying I was having an anxiety attack. I truly believe I have actually developed PTSD with regards to illness and doctors now. GF diet, Probiotics and daily Vit D has changed my life.
I wont go to a doctor now unless i'm bleeding out or can't reset my own bones.
Why waste hours of waiting to be told I'm wrong and take these, arrogant worms
Agree, docs are useless! Vit D stopped my migraines and low mood, why the hell don’t they test these things routinely? It’s exasperating!
Sounds very similar to my story! Severe Celiac symptoms since earliest childhood, now in my forties but never officially diagnosed. Instead it's been no end getting fobbed off by doctors with "IBS, anxiety, hallucinations, anorexia" etc. When my hair started to fall out it was accusations that I must be pulling my own hair out. When I explained that I have never had a period, I got accused of only imagining that. When I stated that I have never been anorexic, I got accused of only imagining that I eat.
Strange that all my "hallucinations" stopped since I changed to a glutenfree diet 20 years ago. Somehow that would tell me that my symptoms were real and not imagined... but then what do I know, I'm only a stupid patient. (sarcasm)
I fully agree with everyone on here, doctors are the pits and I avoid them now. I've also been traumatized by the way I got treated (and continue to get treated) by doctors who just want everybody on tons of tablets because it's big business for Big Pharma.
Because if the whole society got better, they would no longer have sick care ~ I mean, "Healthcare" ~ you know, those really expensive payments you have to pay for insurance? and then they keep billing you even months later...?
My arms go to sleep every single night! I've always wondered if it was my diet
Im so happy you finally got the help you needed. I went through the exact same thing and my Dr completely dropped the ball. She just rolled her eyes at me when I listed the symptoms. I eventually figured it out on my own but I was sick for an additional 3 years thanks to her. Nobody should have to go through this, it feels just awful in every way.
Are you any better?
@@lisamarie8406 not yet. I’m seeing a naturopath next week to hopefully start unraveling everything.
@@vee9133 I got a lot of blood tests done and from that I was diagnosed with hashimotos with very high levels of inflammation. I was also diagnosed with significant insulin resistance and very low vitamin D and iron levels. We are attempting to treat it naturally first and may need medication for my thyroid if it doesnt respond. Thank you for asking. :)
@@magnoliannaart
I've been going through similar things. I watch a Health coach Kait , who is very knowledgeable on how and what to eat and do to fix your metabolic system! She has helped me tremendously! I'm not retaining fluid anymore, and the weight is coming off, I feel great!
I'm really happy you found out what caused all your symptoms. I've been experiencing so much anxiety and I got depressed and IBS problems and I stopped eating a lot of food because I thought that I was getting sick off of it and I was going through so much like the vertigo severe headaches I've had a lot of trembling weak arms and knees always feel like I want to pass out I had almost everything you had. And what finally made me realize that it's just something more than anxiety was because every time I ate some kind of food I would feel so drowsy like I took some sleeping medicine and I was about to pass out all the time. So I had to look into it and I noticed that everything I was eating was mostly bread biscuits cereal chips tortillas period and every time when I got light-headed and dizzy and sleepy I noticed that everything had to deal with some kind of bread so I looked it up and I found out about celiac disease. I was so tired everyday to where it was not normal so I went to my doctor and I told him about gluten and all he did was just tell me to stop eating gluten for 10 days and come back to him. So on my second day of being gluten-free I noticed I had so much strength, all my bloating gas and heartburn and acid reflux went away I noticed I was more happy. I had no more anxiety or negative thoughts. And I felt so happy. So when I went to the doctors I told him how I felt and he says that I am gluten intolerant. I didn't take no blood test I didn't take nothing because he said that he would rather put me on a gluten-free diet first. And I'm so happy that I did it because I feel so alive now. So I'm very happy that you made this video and I appreciate you sharing your story
Martin Arizmendi glory to god
Hey Martin that’s great to hear. Did the years of dizziness affect your brain in the long term and cause any neurological issues?
i teared up at this, i'm so happy you're okay now 💙
I’m going through something like this. Palpitations, insomnia & tremors. Then diagnosed with depression. Since stopping gluten I felt better but still not quite sure. I’ve started on AD & it made my anxiety worse. I’m on ketamine treatment too.
But my energy came back 24 hours after stopping gluten.
I've been absolutely suffering from these same symptoms for ~5 years and my doctors are never helpful, how have they never suggested this? Todays the first day I'm not eating gluten and I already feel better than I have in a while, incredible. Thank you for making this video.
How are you going? I’m interested to hear!
OMG u sound exactly like me!!! Anxiety, tremors, vertigo, chronic stomach infections, fatigue, migraines,TENSION HEADACHES, after constant antibiotics, anti depressants, laxatives, Zantac, naproxen for tension headaches that nothing helps with. Lawd I hate doctors forreal!!! Thank u for your story love ❤️ it’s greatly appreciated🙏🏽❤️
antibiotics kill our good bacterias in the gut. Avoid them at all costs unless you have no choice of course.
A lack of good "biotics" (pro-biotics) in the gut, can cause anxiety. So when a person takes anti -biotics, they are killing both good and bad out of their gut. Then when even a simple sugar is reintroduced inside a stomach, the system is broken down even further, damaging the intestines and causing a very unhealthy stomach ~unable to digest foods well, unable to absorb nutrients; like a domino effect. Things just continue to get worse and worse for that person. Best thing to do is get a good pro-biotic, (Plexus Vital BIOME) , get on a Keto diet (and gluten free) watch, corn, dairy, soy,....stay away from those things as much as possible...and over time,... see your whole body get BETTER.
@@rses916 - And if you take one of the dangerous black-box anti-biotics like flouroquinolones, you can get permanent damage to your body. 😢
I've dealt with most symptoms you've mentioned for over 10 years... I've been on all types of meds for my stomach issues but they never seem to go away. The vertigo didn't start until last summer. I went to the doctor and she literally had no clear explanation as to why I was feeling them, thankfully they went away after about 3 months. However, the bloating, brain fog, and constant tiredness were still my cryptonite. Just last Friday, a coworker asked me why I was working from home instead of the office, and I shared with her all of these symptoms I was feeling that morning. Immediately she asked me if had bread for breakfast? I said "Yes". In fact i had LOTS of bread that morning...aye, I'm a breakfast type of guy.
Her response was: "STAY AWAY FROM GLUTEN!". Of course she shared her story and it resonated with me.
The very next day, I had a cheese omelette for breakfast ( PS: Dairy does not affect me much, in fact it soothes my stomach aches).
My goodness I never felt better!!! In over 10 years, I have never felt so fueled and fired up in the morning since that day. It's amazing how one small change can affect your entire body...and life for that matter. Clarity of thoughts, feeling less overwhelmed even though I work in a very stressful and fast paced IT field, better quality of sleep... you name it.
Thank you so much for sharing your story.
Vertigo, hairloss, headaches, blurred vision that all make sense when your body is unable to absorb nutrients due to inflammation. I think a lot of people in this thread thing Gluten is actively causing those symptoms but it's more of a side effect of not being able to absorb vitamins and nutrients because gluten is causing inflammation.
@@Sam-xy9pu so in summary the awful symptoms of gluten intolerance is due to vitamin deficiency long term? what about the bodies defense mechanisms kicking in that treat it like a foreign body does that not come into play?
@@vvelvettearss the inflammation and pain are due to the gluten. Other weird symptoms that develop over time are due to nutrition deficiencies because your gut is constantly inflamed
@@Sam-xy9pu wow okay that makes sense. Relating here to the person who said "I feel like a duracell" since changing. For me it was bloating and i vaguely knew that the digestive issues caused some internal misery as well but very regular anxiety and depression was the main issue for me since about age 13 and an autism diagnosis in early twenties some years ago
That might be right it might not be but since trying to heal my gut and watch my gluten and sugar SOMETHING has changed, i'm getting used to it I have a much more profound and deeper understanding of life of people, better focus, more serenity , consistancy, life is richer and more energised, more joy and the worry and anxiety are gone. I guess those could be caused by an inflamed gut too. I feel like I have to continue it because the symtoms make for a miserable life I'm very relieved i''m free from its grip now. Thanks for the input :)
Are u a c section baby
Giving up gluten AND SUGAR except for fruits (natural sugar) has helped immensely with my depression.
@Aurangzeb Ali wtf tho if you're celiac you can't have gluten
Did you experience migraines and/or vertigo?
I was diagnosed with Celiac 7 years ago. I had dizzy spells since I was a teenager. Also had heart palpitations. Right before diagnosis I was having POTS. If you still have neurological problems after going gluten free, try taking B12 as well. My symptoms got worse because I ended up having low B12 due to Celiac.
Oh dear.. and did POTS go away after you cut the gluten out.. ?
I can relate to your b deficiency problem. I was 20, & after I woke up after having brain surgery to remove my right temporal lobe that was crushed by forceps at birth; I was surprised by what the doctor said. The neurologist told me that my main cause of my Epilepsy from 3 months old until then, was caused by this brain injury from the forceps. But, he told me that not ALL of my seizures were Epileptic Seizures. Some were caused by my severe Hypothyroidism (Iodine Deficiency) that I was diagnosed with at 11 years old. Others were caused by serious sensitivities & allergies to things like: Grape Juice. That always caused seizures in me every time I drank it. Same with all cruciferous vegetables like: broccoli, cauliflower, rhutabega, spinach, turnips, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, & other foods, due to my thyroid problem. He also told me that both my Magnesium levels, & ALL my B Vitamin levels were dangerously low; & that these deficiencies were also causing me to have seizures as well. I was surprised because no doctor ever told me that I had a vitamin b or magnesium deficiency before this. Yet, not long after I went back home from this surgery, I paid extra close attention to my immune system's reactions, & sure as heck, I was still getting Auras off & on at times. And even now, if I don't get enough salt in my diet, take at least 150-300mg of a vitamin b complex daily, I will get auras. Auras are the same of the warning you get just before you're going to take a seizure. Now that I no longer have a brain injury or Epilepsy, I can easily figure out what's causing my auras, & not have others just brush it off saying, oh, it's just epilepsy. Something genetic in her family. Not true. I don't carry a gene for epilepsy. The neurologist specialist here in Ontario told me years ago that my epilepsy was not a genetic issue. It was caused my malpractice, period. He said the doctor who delivered me, caused my epilepsy. Not my parents' genetics. Therefore, take it from me. If you're anything like I am with these problems, or like what were talking about: ibs, celiac, digestive problems, lactose intolerant, etc.... Make sure you get your vitamin levels checked, & find out how much to take that's safe for you, & make sure to keep up with that. Because, look at what happens to me, if I don't. Seizures, Gastritis, Osteoporosis, Acid Reflux, Duodenal Ulcer, Pituitary Tumor, Sleep Apnea, Fatty Liver, & on & on for my list of health issues. These issues put me at an even greater risk for cancers, diabetes, bloodclots, heart attacks, strokes, etc... All that just for not getting enough nutrients daily. Remember, what's A good amount for you to take vitamin wise, isn't always good for someone else. So don't mock others. Stick to what a doctor specialist tells you, educate yourself on how much is good, & what is the max daily for you, etc... I had to do this myself because I had Osteoporosis of the spine at age 16. All because, at around age 11, I started noticing that I couldn't drink cow's milk anymore, & was having trouble with most types of cheese, cream soups, etc... So, I quit eating cereal altogether, drinking milk, cut back on almost all cheeses, & limited my amount to a very small amount once in a month or a year even when it was really bad. When it was severe, I quit all milk products & within just those 5 years of doing that, I ended up shrinking at least 2 or more inches in height at that age. And all because, I cut out what bothered me, & didn't have anyone to tell me about my serious deficiency in time before it got to the point of Osteoporosis. I had to take 1,000mg daily for years because I couldn't have any milk products at all. Now I can have some cheese. Especially, mozzarella but, don't eat too many other kinds & brand names do matter too. Because some are worst than others. So, make to be your own doctor to some degree by educating yourself as much as possible about whatever problem you have: Read, Read, Read, & always ask a doctor or pharmacist about supplements it's & what's safe for you & get your levels checked at least once a year or more. If you do that, you'll learn how to manage your issue like a pro. Hope all goes well for you & everyone else. Take care & all the best. :)
Glad you posted this comment, its really got me looking at some of my own symptoms i have had for a long time.
Thank you for telling your story. I am having similar issues, my major issue is joint pain with gluten. Doctors are not helpful =( especially in the US. Im so tired and drained/ discouraged with doctors.
I'm so sorry you are suffering from similar issues! Have you tried cutting out gluten and have is there anything you have found helps with symptoms?
Thanks so much for commenting and sharing your story too! It's such a shame doctors are so unhelpful with this :(
doctors are shit on this days but I did change a go an finds my problem
Danielle M doctors are a...holes!
JOINT PAIN was the biggest issue with my gluten intolerance. It mimiced rheumatoid arthritis. I would also experience MASSIVE fibromyalgia symptoms ALONG with chronic fatigue syndrome...
I had someone ask me if I was really gluten intolerant or if it was just a passing thing. Unless you experience it you have no idea!!!
Same symptoms here. Most troubling are blurred vision, vertigo, and extreme fatigue. Can't function normally and is very debilitating and scary. Developed anxiety and panic attacks. I am also insomniac. I am most glad I open your video. I am now starting to eliminate those culprits and hoping to feel my old, vibrant self again. Thank you and may The Lord bless us all with great health.
I'm so sorry you've had similar issues! I hope that this new diet change works for you :)
So glad you are seeing results already!
Generoso Anora hey any updates?
@generoso Anora What’s the update ?? Did you continue gluten free ??
Are you better?
I've experienced most of the symptoms you described - vertigo, nausea, anxiety, shaky hands, vision/focus issues. But the main benefit I got from cutting out gluten was how much more clearly I can think now!
People describe it as brain fog, but it almost felt like short term memory issues. It was difficult for me to recall things I just said moments ago, or to read books without constantly backtracking, or even to pay attention to conversations with people. I thought I was just in a bad mood, or had anxiety issues that kept me from focusing. I often wondered what happened to me, when as a child I could easily read a book in one night.
I've been on a gluten free diet for just about 2 weeks now, and since day 5 my mind has been so much more clear! I can keep up with conversations, lose myself in a book, and play music again, after over a decade of thinking I just wasn't motivated enough to do any of that stuff. It's still hard for me to believe that gluten was the cause of it all!
Did you find you were consistently nauseous when you first cut out gluten? I’ve been GF 2 weeks and still feel so nauseous every day
@@jennaelisabeth2768 yeah, that was happening to me for about 3 weeks. I tried cutting out dairy and every other grain (corn, rice, oats, etc) and after about a week of that my nausea went away pretty much completely! I've read that although there haven't been studies on it, many people with gluten intolerance and celiac feel better after removing all grains.
Another thing to keep in mind is that there's trace amounts of gluten in a lot of things, so it's best to stick with certified gluten free stuff and unprocessed fruits/veggies for the elimination phase of the diet, and then carefully add one food to see how it effects you.
For me, it seems like dairy causes digestive issues but no nausea. Whenever I've tried drinking oat milk or eating corn tortillas, I get the same symptoms I used to get - waking up nauseous and needing to use the bathroom.
Good luck and I hope you figure out how to start feeling better!
@@fishgerms thank you so much for all this info! I’m 2 weeks in and it has been a rough journey like most. Looking forward to when I can feel better 🙏🏼 thank you for the tips! It gives hope to know others dealt with the same and came out better and stronger 🙏🏼
Wow! You are so lucky! Your cousin is your guardian Angel! ❤️ Your story is so similar to mine! But my health deteriorated further to the point where I was vomiting blood, and my organs began to shut down. I was tested twice for celiac, and both times it came back negative. The third time was finally positive. I was like you, feeling really dehydrated and then I started vomiting a lot. Within 2 weeks I was in the ICU fighting for my life. I was only 35 at the time. I was very fortunate that a very experienced Head doctor was in Emergency teaching when I was brought in, and he took interest in my case. He didn’t leave my side for over 3 days. I believe he save my life. It took me close to over a year to start to feel like a normal person again, and get my strength back. Gluten can be a life threatening allergy.
Bless your heart for sharing this.
I gave up gluten to see if it would help with the menstrual and bladder pains and within a couple of months they had all gone. Completely. Severe pain period, bladder pain, bowel pain and a lot of anxiety came with it. So when I gave up gluten. Giving up dairy helped quite a bit then gluten got rid of them completely. Never been diagnosed as the doctors didn't think it was anything to worry about!!! Loved hearing your story.
Aw I'm so glad that cutting gluten and dairy out took away your problems! It's such a shame you couldn't be diagnosed - it's a shame doctors don't look further into intolerance's being the cause! I'm so glad you managed to fix it yourself though! I wish more people knew to consider gluten being an issue.
Michael Halligan hahaha I actually agree with you there!! My doctor has sent me off to be tested for celiac disease despite the fact that I haven't eaten any for weeks except the accidental glutening I had on Sunday which is still giving me symptoms!
This is glorious, I've been looking for "severe ibs" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Mackorny Defeat IBS Blueprint - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my co-worker got great success with it
I don't know what's wrong with me, it could be a brain tumor or just a sinus infection, but I went to the doctor for dizziness and memory issues and they told me it was anxiety. They say everything is anxiety. If I go in saying I feel anxious they tell me it's depression. (I have terrible IBS, stomach pain, joint pain, ADHD...)
Omg im having almost the same problems.... when i have my period my whole stomach hurts. Not just down there. Im hoping going gluten free can help me also gain weight
Thanks for sharing. I endured almost a decade in a similar state becoming ever more desperate to find solutions. It was brain fog that troubled me more than the physical symptoms not being able to follow basic conversations or perform at even basic cognitive levels. It is about time that GP's receive more training around intolerance and nutrition and help us all to understand the root causes at play rather than treat symptoms.
I'm so sorry you had to endure similar issues. I hope you can work towards finding the route cause for it all. Have you tried a naturopath doctor?
Are u a c section baby
Yeah the circles and head pain are so familiar. Vertigo too. Gluten is the devil!
So sorry you had similar problems :(
Especially vertigo!!!
OMG! I got my diagnosis this week and my doctor says I have a gluten intolerance. I never linked ALL these symptoms before until now, watching your video.
Vertigo is crazy, some days I felt like being pushed out of bed. Also, whith the blur in the eyes some days I couldn't see anything.
Hopefully my blood test showed the problem.
@@luciam.delafuentegonzalez2060
I recently realized that I'm gluten intolerant too. I never knew that vertigo was a part of it, and its gone now! I also couldn't lose weight, had a lot of fluid retention, didn't sleep good, my joints and muscles always felt like I had the flu. I was told I might have Fibromyalgia. I'm getting my life back finally! I did a metabolic reset and the weight is finally coming off! I watch a Health Coach Kait on RUclips, and she is very knowledgeable on how and what to eat to feel better! Good luck to you 😁!
Great video. Very inspiring. I had a gluten-free, dairy-free Thanksgiving Holiday and my depression was miraculously much relieved after only three days of being GF and DF. I'm praying it's real, and pinching myself hoping its not a dream. I would do anything to get rid of this insidious illness which has plagued me for over twenty years. (depression) I came here looking for hope and I got it from you. Thank you!
How you holding up? Im also here hoping for some form of hope. My depression and other symptoms are horrendous.
@@speedboy623 I was doing great until yesterday when I had a sandwich (gluten bread) but I'm also noticing it seems sugar is playing a role in my depression as well. Sugar in all carbs (breads, pasta, yogurt, popcorn, wine, beer, any alcohol at all...the list goes on and on....). This week I'm going to try and eat mostly meat, eggs and vegetables. Vegetables have carbs (and therefore sugar) but not nearly as much as any processed foods. I'll eat some fruit, but eat it whole i.e. oranges, apples, bananas etc). I'm also trying to get out and walk just a few miles each day. I'll let you know how it goes. If I forget, just respond to this and I'll get a notification reminding me to update you. If you are able to, I'd love for you to try the diet I mentioned above and let me know how it's going for you. I am convinced its sugar and gluten. Google "sugar and the brain" or something to that effect and you might be inspired to give it up too! Thanks for asking about me.
Peace Love I went to the store today after leaving the hospital, all my test were good, I’m quite healthy, except I am producing a bit more white blood cells which can be a sign of auto immune. Anyway I bought a bunch of fruits and vegetables all organic and some natural drinks like coconut water and pomegranate juice. After eating a few fruits and vegetables and some spinach I can say I feel joy for the first time in a while. Definitely going to keep going with it I’ll also report back. Wish you the best.
I know that feeling of believe feeling better it's true. Like pitching you to see if it is real. Thanks God it is.
Loved this video. I struggle with vestibular migraines and terrible vertigo. In the process of completing blood work for Celiac . One test came back mild positive. I'm going to try your method. So tired of being dizzy and not feeling normal. My Daughter is Celiac so I wanted to be tested. Thank you for this awesome video.
I also have vestibular migraine. I tested negative for Celiac disease. I left gluten for 25 days and did not help much. Did u go gluten free and if yes, did u feel any improvement in symptoms of vestibular migraine?
With everything you have tried, your journey sounds a lot like mine! My entire body broke out in a very itchy rash and that’s what made me realize somethings up. I have severe fatigue as well, headaches, anxiety, depression, dizzy spells, Gi issues, plus more and feeling overall unwell 24/7!!! I would have a semi good day here and there but I am at my wits end. I also feel this constant lump in my throat too. My symptoms were not as severe as yours but bad enough. I think going vegan for a time really helped. Your video and it helped me a lot, I’m pretty positive I have a gluten intolerance of some kind. I have already cut out dairy and I’m cutting out all gluten today! Thank you!
Thanks so so much for this video. I can't tell you how much I identified with the issues you were having. I've had migraines, IBS, joint and muscle pain and really bad mental health issues for the last 10+ years and like you was told that it was anxiety that was causing it. Was eventually diagnosed with haemochromatosis but when treatment for that didn't help I tried going gluten and dairy free, and I can't tell you the difference it's made to my health. I've only been on this diet for a few days and I already feel better than I've felt in years. More people, especially doctors, should know about this. There are probably thousands of people out there just like us who are really struggling. Anyway sorry for the big essay but thanks again for this. It really helps to know I'm not the only one going through this stuff.
I appreciate you sharing your story. As someone with gluten allergy and complex migraine sufferer, I appreciate the struggle with multiple symptoms and how to cope when you feel like your body is falling apart.
Your progression of symptoms is very similar to mine. Headaches and migraines when I was younger, to more severe when I was in high school and college. Around college, I started dealing with EXTREME fatigue, then came the IBS, GERD and GI Mobility problems. It felt like having the stomach flu for 2 years straight. I have also suffered from depression and anxiety, so I figured a lot of these concerns were stress-induced. Started seeing a psychiatrist and psychologist again- it didn't help. Had tests done by my GI doctor and started taking probiotics and it helped a bit, but not a solve-all for me. I started doing my own research and came across celiac and I had a hit, got tested, and my IGA test was so high the test couldn't give an accurate number. I am just recently going gluten-free, and my bloating, fatigue, and nausea symptoms are starting to get better. It's going to take a while for me to get back to normalcy due to the damage in my small intestine.
Very similar to me! Any update?
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I recently stopped eating gluten and saw instant improvement in my symptoms! I could not believe it! I have been telling everyone about the wonders of no gluten, and I have been sharing your video with everyone in my family. Thank you!
How is it 2 years later??!
I believe anxiety and gut go hand and hand together! I have all these symtoms too
There is growing evidence that the connection between digestion and brain function are inexorably linked. Hopefully more research into the microbiome will help us better understand how digestion effects our mental health.
My doctor has Celiac disease and her daughters have Non-celiac gluten sensitivity, so she was understanding and she didn't hesitate to send me for tests. Turns out I have NCGS, a week into gluten-free eating my panic attacks and anxiety are gone, my hand numbness is gone, and my muscle pains are gone. My rosacea is gone too, bonus! I haven't felt this good in 17 years.
Dear Autumn,
I was diagnosed with IBS.
Recently I had a viral infection that cause me to be in the hospital for 3 days. I was not Covid, but I noticed that the IBS symptoms were worst. I began to eliminate foods that nauseated me and caused me pain. But it wasn't until I ordered a vegan gluten free meal of Lo mein that I discovered that I needed to go to an allergist. After that meal my eyes and cheeks were swollen and red, I had nerve pain in my hand and feet, mild temours, one side of my nasal passage was closed and I had a sinus pressure headache.
I felt nauseous and weak.
So I am praying as I go to the allergist/ immunologist I will
get some help.
Would you know what despite ordering a gluten free meal O would have that reaction?
Before that meal I eliminated
nuts,dairy,and wheat. I'd be grateful for your feedback.
Thank you for this valuable video about your journey to regarding your health.
I love your hair lold.. 20 days gluten free here, feel like a teen again :)
I am 28 years old and was diagnosed with a gluten intolerance last week. I had suffered with some of my symptoms for 16 years. I had severe joint pain in my legs and hips. Recurrent mouth ulcers. Abdominal pain, acid reflux, brain fog, fatigue, bloating, weight gain, and so much more that I am forgetting at the moment. I also was suffering with infertility for the past 4 years since getting married and wanting children. I am so glad that I finally found out what was wrong! I have been gluten free for about 5 days now and all of my mouth ulcers are now gone and I feel like a completely different person! Thank you for making this video! I hope you are doing well still! ❤
@CookieMonster-- As far as I know, just the gluten!
Dude this sounds like me with hip pain , also headaches with aura, crazy I’ve stuff like tenesmus
You just described my last couple of months; I hope to God that’s what I have because I’m sick of all these symptoms. I’m so glad you got better, I wish you all the best, hope you never get sick ever, you seem like a very nice person!
I used to get migraines here and there, so I suppose I’m fortunate to not have suffered from them as much as you. I had ballooned to over 310lbs, I suffered from IBs, Heart palpitations, aching bones, chronic pain in my body that felt like I was melting inside (inflammation), blurred vision, confusion, fatigue, shortness of breath, hypertension, vertigo, numbness in my feet and arms, rapid and irregular heart beat, the list could go on, and I’m sure there was more but I had decided that I would try to see a doctor. My doctor did a stool and blood test, found nothing but said I needed to lose weight.. duh. I’m 6’2” and was a power lifter. I had gone through different patterns of eating clean and then eating like a dump truck. I always ballooned up and I just figured it was America’s obesity from fast food.. which it very well may have been. But after I entered my 30’s... my body had had enough. I developed extreme ibs, inflammation and was beginning to feel pain deep in my arteries, armpits and inner thigh/hip region. I had tons of muscle and ate clean when I was power lifting - rice, veggies, chicken... but it wasn’t until things got really back this past year that I decided to try to cut gluten and dairy out of my diet. I’m sure my issues came from the American diet, but now I cut all gluten, dairy, beef, and caffeine from my diet. I feel amazing now, and in a matter of 4 months, my body course corrected, I lost 55 lbs, and aside from just watching my cholesterol, I’m very healthy now. I’ve tested eating gluten and dairy again. The dairy makes me retain water and upsets my ibs.. so obviously lactose intolerant. The gluten causes rapid inflammation, causes me to immediately throw up at times, or knocks me out like I had gone into a diabetic coma. I am not diabetic and even my doctor said I wasn’t even pre-diabetic when I was 310 6’3” and working out everyday. Basically, you’re 100000% right, and I’m a gluten survivor.. because I was on my way out due to Gluten, thankfully we caught it, and now it’s all good!! 🤙🏼🙌🏼 take care fellow survivor!! 🤗
I’m Sooooooo Happy For You!! Believe me I know how you felt, I just recently 3-4 days ago was told by my doctor that I am allergic to gluten, wheat, hazelnuts, sesame seeds, almonds, walnuts... as far as my symptoms I had just about everything you’ve mentioned especially IBS, and brain fog. But since I was informed I have been feeling much better, I feel human again.
I've had most of the symptoms you described for the past about 11 years, and they've been progressively (but slowly) getting worse as the years go by. I, too, had many of the same worries about graduating college and not being able to find a job with the symptoms, except I then went on and failed to get a job and become independent for far too many years because, just as I feared, the symptoms made having a job nearly impossible. I've never been one to put much stock in "cure all" trends like raw veganism, coconut oil, etc. but I'm starting to think gluten just might be my problem. Can't hurt anything to try going without it for a few weeks. I'm glad you were able to get your issues sorted out. I know all too well the hell of not having a diagnosis and therefore having to try your best to carry on with life as if you don't have health problems because you can't get any assistance without a diagnosis.
I’m not easily impressed but I am so impressed with you and I thank you for being such a blessing to us because it really spoke to me
I'm so happy the video could help you!
Terrible joint pain when I was 11-13 years old. IBS, PCOS, migraine when I was a teen. ( Cupping therapy treated my migraine headaches completely! )
Brain fog and fatigue, the whole of my life.
Adhd, depression, bad sleep.
Hair loss, bad nails, bad hairs. Now I'm 28 yrs old, experiencing nausea since 4 months ago. God how did lived my life with those illnesses?! Gluten ruined my life, I used to live my life with those pains but now I'm kind of happy because finally I do know what is the source of my past and present illnesses and I can treat it.
The doctor I've recently visited was totally confused with my symptoms but he was a supporter dr, He was like wow! you know about gluten intolerance! He told my mom that I diagnosed my problem like a professional doctor! (I just can't understand why doctors are so ignorant about gluten, the info is everywhere in the net!) I'm very new to gluten free diet, but I still experience very bad nausea-reaction to eating large amount of chickpeas, potatoes also soy, instant coffee and bone broth. Which is weird because they introduced to us as gluten free. But I guess I have extremely inflammatory guts that can't tolerate carbs and dairy. Let me know if u have same experience with carbs, maybe we can help each other. Sorry for bad ENG, I'm not a native speaker. Wish u all health and wellness ✨🤍
Are u a c section baby
Yep this was me before I stopped eating gluten on my own and found out that it was the culprit. I thought that I had cancer and that I was dying or something. The worst symptom by far was the panic attacks though, I probably wouldn't have even realized what was going on had it not been for the panic attacks. They made me afraid to eat at all, and caused me to start eliminating things from my diet.
How did your panic attacks feel ? Mine feel like im in some sort of doom and i get breathless , heart is racing etc!
This has been me for the past like five years. It all makes sense. I’ve always been allergic to wheat, grains, and have been diagnosed with hashimotos and anxiety…uhhh i had no idea hashimotos and gluten intolerance have a HUGE connection. Just started gluten free and I feel so good
Every auto immune disease known to humans is triggered by gluten
she is lucky, I have been misdiagoned and left untreated for many years. now my limbs are hurting.
I am so happy that I came across this video. I have been experiencing all of these symptoms. I was so confused because I was a mainly plant based. Everyone around me was very confused as I eat very well and I’m very particular. I prayed and fasted with water and smoothies for seven days and the symptoms went away, rest my system. The other day I had a burrito, chips, and a bagel. I was stress eating going to doctors and hospital appointments trying to figure out what these symptoms are and if im ok... as a result all of the symptoms came back in less than 24 hours. I have a strong feeling it was gluten. Now that I know this I’m going to deliberately remove gluten and see what happens
look up vegan deterioration.
Did you cut out gluten? How are you now?
You may have just solved my 9 month long problem I;m going to try this. Thanks.
Good luck!
It solved it for me.
Hi Mark. What did you end up doing? I have similar symptoms.
Is it solved?
Did it work!???
This has been me for the past 6 years doctors say im perfectly fine just anxiety wow.... this is mind blowing.
I had a disheartening day. I told the doctor that it was gluten that was affecting my health, and I felt much better without it. But he tried to make it seem like I had psychological issues, along with anxiety and stress, and he said that my symptoms wasn't related to gluten at all. He wanted to make me take antidepressants for the anxiety (that I was not even experiencing after I've stopped gluten). He just thinks it's a placebo effect and the power of suggestion, and he thinks that I can eat anything I want just fine, but he thinks that I just believe that I can't do it because I'm just having anxiety around food (none of this is true though). I left his office with unanswered questions, and feeling worse than before, and heavily misunderstood. But I know the problem is gluten for sure, and not what judgements he made about me. I do feel absolutely and completely better without gluten.
Change your doctor
I saw a nutritional nurse who suggested a blood test I asked if I that can include a gluten test she said oh no you don't need that! I went in the next morning and I'd left my referral paper at home I had an option to go back home and get it or wait and see a doctor and get another so I saw a doctor and asked if the test could include a gluten test he said yes. When I came back for the blood test results she the nurse stared at the computer screen for 3 minutes without saying anything just staring I snapped her out of it by asking is everything ok? She had to inform me I have Coeliac Disease my results showed the highest count possible she just printed of a couple of pages of information handed them to me,she looked uncomfortable and just wanted me gone.
I struggled with awful migraines for years, and had very bad vertigo twice. I happened to find a video by Dr. Mark Hyman on migraines and he recommended removing gluten from your diet to eliminate migraines. I stopped eating gluten and haven't had another one since I eliminated gluten!
11long years of this!!!! My story is your story! Thank you!!! ❤️
Thanks for your comment :)
Your story rings so true to me. So many similarities including the anxiety diagnosis. No tests would show anything. Even lost my gal bladder. Glad you are feeling better
Thank you for sharing this story. I went through this for 5 years (probably longer). A lot of money and suffering to finally figure out what was going on with me. Western medicine has really failed society for these chronic issues.
I am so happy I found this video!!! I’ve been experiencing very similar symptoms! I was so scared, they said it was a migraines. I have so many of the symptoms you had, like the pain in the arm, and leg, legs feel dead, exhaustion etc. They have no idea what’s wrong with me. I’ve been in and out of the doctors. They are doing a bunch of tests. I already had IBS and cut out dairy. I started cutting out gluten for a few days, and I feel so much better already, not 100% but I know I will if I am struck cutting out gluten and dairy! I’m going to continue to get tested and have them check for gluten intolerance. Again, thank you so much for sharing this video, it helps so much to know I’m not alone in this :)
Did anyone have acid reflux w gluten?
that can happen too
Yes
100000%
@D Floor Damager Are you a wizard? I had my last cup yesterday morning
Get out of my brain
It's one of symptoms of celiac disease.
I literally have tears in my eyes to watch your video. I've been dealing with the same symptoms for about an year now. Firstly, I had a burnout and then I found out that I have CPTSD. I inserted an hormonal IUD and everything went even worse (I have a video like yours talking about it too on my channel). Unfortunately, the docs stayed more on the "mental" side, and I never thought of this possibility untill recently where I said I can't take these symptoms related to my guts anymore and that's how I came accross your video and I have literally everything you said. I've been only eating liquids for the last 2 days and already saw am improvement (especially cause I couldn't go to the loo anymore), so first thing on Monday I will contact my GP and ask for a gluten/celiac/lactose intolerance test. Thank you very much for sharing your story. Sending you love
How did you get on with the test for Celiac? I've yet to meet a doctor who would be willing to do some tests for it instead of just dishing out antidepressants, painkillers, sleeping pills, tranquilizers, Immodium and every other drug going.
Gluten is horrible! I watched my mom go through life miserable and we did not know why. The depression, brain fog, ibs, fatigue etc was so debilitating for her so much that she started self medicating and is no longer with us😞
May her soul rest in peace ♥️♥️
I very much appreciate your sharing and details! I've been a chronic migraine sufferer now for about 25 years they're getting progressively worse. I'm now 38. I tested low for thyroid I know I'm sensitive to sugar , I stopped drinking milk and cut out most breads and preserved foods and I still.get them. I'm reading into the keto diet , because my sugar sensitivity I think I have insulin resistance. I'm so happy you figured yours out. It's so depressing cutting out so many foods. I hate going to grocery stores now. And I feel you on the fear in the job world I feel stuck until I get this figured out.
Lena Robins try feverfew once a day it really helps 💗
Tami O I very much appreciate the suggestion, I have tried that one, oddly it made me dizzy and nauseous so it kinda intensified some of the migraine symptoms I already had. Butterbur seems helpful but it's pricey :-/
Hi Lena, i have the same - but I read that sugar sensitivity can be caused by having eaten gluten for too long, which can destroy your intestinal lining which absorbs carbohydrates. Keto diet worked for me and paleo diet also. My new therapist says if I avoid gluten and take vitamin supplements I should be able to heal the intestines and be able to eat everything except for gluten. Good luck!
I’ve been diagnosed with ibs and acid reflux. Now booked in to get tested for celiac disease! Was surprising how similar our symptoms are !! 💗
I hope you get your IBS and reflux under control!
I have lived the past two years with this exact same problem with gluten, I quit eating gluten and my life changed in 2-3days
.
waw 2 /3 days incredible, I'm suffering now more than 30 years, I was always brain fog
I just found this video today. This was me too. I have migraines and recently diagnosed ibs but it was the dizziness and ground moving and loss of directions that made me feel like I was losing my mind that motivated me to see an ENT and getting a proper diagnosis of vestibular migraine that is treatable with a low fodmap diet. I’m only 3 weeks in and can’t believe the difference it’s made. I feel like you that I don’t ever want to try the foods like gluten and dairy in case they trigger that horrible mess all over again. Thank you for putting this out there.
I’ve suffered from severe and chronic migraines since I was 7. I used to be in the ER 2-4 times a week. It was awful and changed my life in many ways. I’m now 21 and the IBS symptoms, dizziness, eczema, inflammation began. I cut gluten out of my diet and it’s really really helping. After all that, like you said, good riddance lol. Glad you were able to find the problem as well!
do you eat bread thats gluten free,or you gave up bread all together
if u have tried these already and didn't find any changes..u might have different condition. please also try continuing the good diet while having neck stretching every morning for atleast 10mins. and a cup of natural ginger tea before bed.. i find it very effective for my headache,dizziness and severe vertigo. i have this condition for about 3months now but after trying those things, my condition became better and better just for a week.. just keep a little patience guys and hopefully u gonna find urselves in a better condition.may God bless us all gudluck
Thanks for the info :)
you should drink ginger tea only during the day because it's not gonna let you sleep well if you drink that before than sleep
THIS IS LITERALLY EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED TO ME! thank you so much! now I have tried illuminating gluten! feeling better only 2 weeks in. This video is a life saver!
Aw so happy with video has helped you! :D
Thank you for posting this - it is a shame that not many doctors are very open to the idea that gluten might be causing issues to so many people. My niece and nephew are both gluten, dairy and soya intolerant but it never occurred to me until recently that my IBS was made worse due to gluten. I tested negative for Coeliac but decided to try gluten free to see if that would help - and it has to some extent and I have stabilised my IBS-D after taking some soluble fibre supplements.
What amazed me though were the other “side effects” of no gluten. After about 4 days I realised I hadn’t had a headache in 2 days - and I am 50 and have had a headache every single day for 35 years! My joint pain is better, I have more energy, I feel more cheerful and I even think I can see more colourfully (if that makes any sense!). These things are not in my imagination because they are not the benefits that I was actually seeking.
You have my sympathies with migraine - especially so often - I have aura migraines that are horrible if I eat bananas or pear drops (I think it’s either the pear/banana essence in them or else the colouring) but of course that is so specific that it’s relatively easy to avoid.
You just described all my symptoms!! I have been having headaches for 4 months and vertigo started a months ago. I have been off work for almost a month....seen ENT, Neurologist and they can't figure out what's wrong. They gave me meds and my body rejects them. I will try this starting tomorrow...wish me luck...I've been feeling so sad lately. You just gave me hope!!!
Oh no :( I am so sorry you've been suffering from these issues! I am glad you could relate to my story though and that I give you hope!
How are you doing since cutting gluten out of your diet?
Hello Irene. How are you doing nowadays?
This was my story minus the headaches and vertigo. Lots of IBS and eventually GI infections. Eventually had surgery but still felt ill. As soon as I stopped gluten and minimized dairy, within 5 days the change was drastic. Normal feeling for the first time in over 4 years. Like you, I still have a hard time believing it. I will never touch gluten again! Doctors really need to start recognizing this and studying it. I saw 5 different GI doctors, had multiple CT scans and tests, and was in constant pain and depression. It took a desperate visit to a nutritionist to suggest trying gluten free. I am now normal and healthy again! So thankful!
Hello. I have had the same exact symptoms as you for ever! I just dawned on me today that I may be gluten intolerant and did some research and wow, I have all the classic symptoms. Thanks for sharing your experience!!
I have every one of your symptoms and more including hypertension, chest pain, osteoarthritis, joint inflammation, and chronic urticaria. I am 56 years old and have had these symptoms since 19. I will be stopping wheat now and hopefully the symptoms will decrease. Been dairy free (vegan) for a year. Fingers crossed and hopeful for a new life. Thank you so so so much for sharing your story Marie. Much love. Kelly
I’ve had chronic migraines (3-5 a week) for about 15 yrs. I thought going gluten free got rid of them, but that only lasted a few months. But my stomach issues of close to 40 years are gone. I went to so many specialists as well.
I'm intolerant to sugar and gluten...
Hi Marie! Thank you so so much for sharing your powerful story! I use to love eating seeded brown bread rolls with organic peanut butter, drink organic raw milk, and enjoy sourdough breads with yummy jams! I am going to make a very, very long story short! I can absolutely relate to the feeling of poisoned explosive migraines, coupled to mouth ulcers, then also sporadic joint pain and dermatitis on my face... I decided at a stage to cut largely bread and Marmite out as these were probably my greatest offenders! My doctor finally sent me for a celiac test once he saw the dermatitis on my face! The test came back negative.. I then started eating bread again thinking gluten cannot be the problem, and literally 1.5 hours later was man-down with a migraine again! My doctor then sent me for a celiac gene test, and it came back positive HLA DQ2.2 and he asked me to cut out whet, rye, barley and even oats for a while. The dermatitis that looked like blisters, scars and warts simply dried up and faded away, and the migraines are now more low grade headaches! I however, have now discovered that both A1 & A2 cows milk products are sadly a problem for me, as it seems to "mimic" the previous symptoms I had with gluten. My symptoms have largely cleared up since removing gluten!
My esophagus is extremely swollen from my belly being so badly upset. I have bad chest pains also. I didn’t realize this could effect your vision! I’ve experienced this too!! I feel like I’m going crazy!! Like my body is giving up on me. So depressed
anybody have numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, also like my body jolts as if its scared, very weak muscles, fatigue and aching joints. Just a few of my symptoms! Great video by the way
David Evans Yes me to all of the above. I was originally diagnosed with MS then later with CD. Cut out gluten and see if the symptoms continue.
@@svensun thanks mate, how long after given up gluten would you say you felt better, I went without gluten for 6 weeks but didn't really notice any difference!
David Evans I would say that I felt better after a week, but the changes toward recovery were slow and incremental. It was probably a month before the numbness was gone in my hand. My fatigue faded slowly over the course of a month as well. If you’re going to do this then you need to be super diligent and not let any gluten at all into your system in order to feel the benefits.
I used to experience this feeling too. I'd say most symptoms stopped early but full recovery can take months, even a long in the long term.
Cheers guys I appreciate the advice. Day one of no wheat grains or dairy, what a joy!
I know this is a very old post..but I have done exactly the same as you recently. My doctors treated me like an hysterical middle aged woman and only prescribed beta blockers. They said it was anxiety. I have given up gluten and dairy after research on you tube the American's have so much knowledge on this. Not totally cured but a lot better. Hope you are ok now.
I'm 74 and for 8 years I have had severe IBS. Currently I'm seeing a Digestive Doctor who saw stop all dairy for a week. I did and the severe pain I had with the IBS stopped. Second I stopped all caffeine and soda. Still have the diarrhea. Next I cut out all sugar. During the past month I had a Colonoscopy and Endiscopy .
I find out the results tomorrow. The diarrhea has decreased some but I'm working with my Doctor on a solution.
I had prior colon surgery which had started this problem. Before it I didn't have a problem.
I don't think in the other years after the surgery did I tell how bad it was to my doctor, so thats my fault. But now she is great and so helpful.
So I should find out tomorrow if I have Celiac disease and or thyroid problems as well.
So glad I ran across your story. 🙏👍
what stood out too me in this video is the neurological symptom's you mentioned! for almost a year I have been distort trying too figure out what is wrong with me! I have the same drop body feelings weird heaviness from head too toes, feels like I'm being pulled down, slight dizziness blurry vision...fast heart rate upon standing the works! a doctor diagnose me with POTS but I strongly know in my heart that's not it! and if so what is the root cause! I'm going to finally give gluten free a try. thank you for this video
Has it worked? Pleaseeeee tell me
Hey please lmk if that worked for you, I have literally the same exact dizziness symptoms. Feeling like I’m on a boat and being pulled down. It’s awful
@@MariaRodriguez-lj8fz are you any better?
@@lisamarie8406 no ): I’ve only cut out gluten for a day so it’s hard to tell but I will update you if you’d like!
@@MariaRodriguez-lj8fz okay take magnesium, cut out dairy too! Also try meclizine for dizziness

This is a wake up call for me - thank you! I had my suspicions for years but now I know. New start from now! Xx
I'm so happy it was helpful for you! :)
Are you better?
Update?
Thank you so muxh. I feel spaced out/dizzy/braim fog sine 2 years and its been hell. Trying to figure it all out and keeping my hopes high, which doctors immeditally crushed. Now I am trying to be gluten free and PRAY for all this blurry to go away. I just really hope but cry a lot as well. Lets see what happens :)
Not been able to get out of bed for 11 months. my husband took me to a doctor this morning . im being tested for CD!. headaches/ flu type symtoms / excruciating pain all over abdomen. sweating / heart palpitations. fear i was going blind.. blood pressure spiralling out of control.. i really couldnt of gone on feeling like death warmed up everyday. .. i wouldnt wish this illness on anyone .. keep safe y'all x
I think it's time for me to truly consider this. I thought about it in the past, and a few people have mentioned the possibility to me. But I think it's time for me to go down this route, with your symptoms starting all the way from childhood more mildly like that, and progressing into pretty much everything you said I relate so much. Thank you for sharing your story!
The poison feeling I totally get too.
It can even feel like zaps and things moving under my skin.
It’s so bad!
When I cut out gluten for a year I healed.
Anxiety eventually got so so bad!
Glad you figured out.
I find that when I talk to people it’s worse and makes me feel awkward when I smile… can u relate?
Thank you so much for your story! I am terribly sorry with what all you had to go through. That must have been a dreadful experience for you! I haven't gotten tested for it yet by a doctor, but I believe I am gluten intolerant. I have had mostly all of your symptoms daily. I also took a test to see if I am gluten intolerant which I found out i am because i checked off 18 of the signs. Bless your heart. I am so glad you are feeling better. XX
Your story matches my story, the only difference is mine has not been as severe that's severe as your symptom. My son was diagnosed with celiac. We changed the whole family's diet and I have been gluten free for 24 hours and already I feel so much better.
Wow that's amazing!!! 2 days is a huge change. I'm looking at going gluten free and I appreciate you sharing your story.
For so many years now I've been so troubled with a lot of things that have been going on with my mind and body. Hearing you listing a lot of those has helped end a lot of the stress I've been dealing with in trying to understand why these things were happening to me. No one could give me an answer as to what was happening to me. I've recently been diagnosed from a biopsy in July with being gluten intolerant since I'm now experiencing severe skin issues but hearing you speak of the migraines/auroras, vision problems now make me believe that these symptoms very well could be because of gluten and dairy all along. I've often would get the blurred vision in my left eye noticeably and it would also include me sitting in a state of confusion as well as getting a weird tingle and numbness feeling in my fingers. lately walking for a good period of time has been seeming challenging strength wise. I'm so glad I've come across this video because I've reached a point where it's been mentally and physically draining. I'm suppose to be tested for Celiac soon so unfortunately they're having me eat a normal diet so I have to deal with the issues for now. But thank you so much for sharing this
This is like watching me in a video. OMG same
Oh wow, my symptoms are pretty much the same as yours. Electric shock pain is the worst. Currently a week off gluten and dairy and still feeling ropey but at least the shock pains have gone. Thanks for this video!
Hey thanks so much for your comment, it means a lot. I hope you get better soon x
@@marieaustin10 Thank you! I saw a neurologist yesterday who isn't convinced I'm intolerant to gluten/dairy and suspects it may be a placebo effect. Who knows, but at least a paleo diet is relieving my symptoms. :)
Ooh, just one more thing (I sounds like Columbo!) The neurologist scribbled on a piece of paper which I found in my bag yesterday. It's a pretty weird way of giving someone a diagnosis, but it looks like he thinks I have Functional Neurological Disorder. Again, he wasn't convinced of a correlation with food, but it might be worth you having a look at neurosymptoms.org/ as our symptoms are very similar. Good luck!
I have to tell you your story is similar to mine similar health issues including severe hip arthritis pain which basically improved 90% when I went off gluten !!
I just did a blood test igg for food sensitivity. I had a slight sensitivity to gluten but my dairy and yeast was high. Somehow they are connected. I don't really have a lot of symptoms except some gut issues and tired. I did the testing to see if I had any sensitivity to things just to stay away from them. Thank you for sharing your story and trying to help others.
Can you consider making a video about how you avoid gluten and make sure it doesn't creep in if you're eating out at a restaurant or at someone else's home?
Absolutely CRIMINAL that people who claim to be Doctors couldn't be bothered to suggest this after all ur years of suffering!!! So happy 4u ❤️
Wowww... thank you thank you thank you!!! The light bulb has gone off.. after 3 years of tests and procedures and no answers from doctors.. you have answered every problem I had. Wow.. thank you so much. 💓
I cut out gluten about five months ago from just feeling "off" it has helped so much. But what I've noticed is if I have any gluten at all I get a migraine for a week. The symptoms are definitely not hidden any longer. I will never eat gluten again as long as I can avoid it. These symptoms are terrible and I'm glad you found out what is wrong with you. You said you think you have celiac but your test came back negative. I went to a nutritionist and she said they haven't update the testing for it in over 30 years. So any small amount won't be detected. You may still have it so try your best to avoid those foods. Best of luck from Chicago:)
Thanks for your comment!
It's shocking how many people get migraines from Gluten Intolerance!! Yet doctors never suspect gluten as their cause!
I didn't realise the test was so outdated... It's a shame :/
Yeah... I haven't eaten any gluten in over 2 years now... And I feel great! :D
I'm so glad you discovered the cause for your migraines and have learned to avoid them now! :)
and what is your experience in dairy products
It is awesome that you are feeling better, I really am, but I have a few questions.
1-Are you leaving your life as if you were a Celiac ?
2- How are you dealing with the cross-contaminated foods?
@@rankxy9767 yes I basically live my life completely gluten free like an allergy. I mostly make majority of my meals myself and check ingredients often. I think it's easy for me since I've always been allergic to dairy that im used to checking before eating.
Were you nauseous for a while when you first went GF?
you already told my own experience! This is crazy! Thank you, hope you get better & better.
Hello Marie I think you were very brave to tell what had happened to you. I have been a Gluten and Lactose tolerent person for going on 5 years now. I started being covered with very paiful blisters on my arms and buttocks. I was in agony and had trouble sleeping and those blisters were not small and very painful. When I finally did get to see a skin specialist he was shocked because he said he had never seen anything like it. He took loads of blood tests and nothing showed up from them. Then he decided to take a biopsy and that is when the results said I had a gluten and lactose problem. I had all the symptoms you mentioned but the one that worried me the most was the affect it had on my nervous system. I would wake up in the night shaking as though I had a shock. I am quite a bit older than you and the doctor told me that I would have to avoid wheat and proper milk for the rest of my life. I use lactose free milk but I can handle eggs and porridge oats and sometimes I even have corn flakes. I do not eat any food at all from tins because they are also not gluten free. I have one banana a day which is a good help but my favourite foods that I loved are long forgotten about now. Until I was diagnosed I kept away from everybody because I did not know if it was catching or not, especially when the blisters were weeping. I also eat loads of fresh tomatos which also seem to keep it under control. I also take 1 tablet a day so I can digest what I eat as I was unable to do so before the diagnoses. I have met people who have had children as young as 6 months old with this disease and almost lost them because they could not even have milk till a biopsy was taken. It is a dangerous disease and I have heard of people dying because of gluten and lactose tolerence. Take care.
The same happened to me. In two weeks I was another person. Only a nutritionist helped me out. The GP did't have any idea.
THANK YOU. i was vegetarian and vegan for 8 years. felt so healthy and had no issues. i began the diet because i had digestive issues. i got over the diet last year and started eating meat, dairy, processed foods, baked goods, etc etc. Since i've reintroduced all those foods again, I've had terrible migraines, digestive issues, and i didn't realize it til you said it, but i get that walking on water/dizzy feeling ALL THE TIME. I'M SO DONE WITH THIS. my new diet will consist of mostly whole foods, fish, *sometimes* chicken, no dairy, and no gluten. Thankful for your video this has been confirmation to me. Hope you've been healthy and happy. God is good !
I went through similar things. Plus also a gluten rash. A doctor on the radio said gluten is bad for everyone.
Luckily I stop eating gluten And everything was healed. It was a total coincidence
