Are you hypersensitive to gluten, wheat starch and cross-contamination? Welcome to us! You are not alone in this.

My experiences with gluten sensitivity symptoms

Sudden fatigue and muscle weakness are the very first symptoms experienced, from one second to the next there is a fatigue that hits me so I just want to lie down and sleep, the picture illustrates how I feel inside.

This is followed by a week, ten days of low blood pressure, shortness of breath, palpitations, exhaustion, lack of energy, tiredness and weakness, feeling cold and frozen – ”freezing from the inside”, feeling of flu and inflammation and body aches, especially in the lower back, puffy face, bloated feeling throughout the body, swollen belly, sensitivity to sound and light, mild persistent nausea and mild headache, itching on the forearms, tingling, pins and needles and wandering ‘shooting’ pains that keep me awake at night with subsequent lack of sleep the whole next day and disturbances in the circadian rhythm, coordination problems so that I hit my hands and feet, easily bruise then, unmotivated, depressed with a kind of strange doomsday feeling and like to pull away, it feels demanding to be around people when my whole body is simultaneously busy processing all the symptom experiences of my gluten reactions.

Otherwise, I am physically and mentally well, born in 1957, female, no illnesses, do not take medication, do not smoke, do not drink alcohol, normal weight, good fitness, good mobility, eat and sleep well, travel a lot, many different interests, positive outlook on life and bright future.
