Just wondering if there is a thorough list of symptoms somewhere. I have soooooo many wierd things and I would love to know if they will resolve after I test and go gluten free.
Examples I have:
hair falling out, confusion, often can't think of the next word in a simple sentence, occasional stiffness in hands like they are cold but their not, hard to get out of bed, feel like my head is puffy, chronic fatigue, often feels like I have a lead suit on-actually difficult to pick things up off the floor or go up stairs. Irritability, impatience, headaches, plus all the gut stuff.
Thanks for any info,
Mia

Thank you! Yes, I am in the last week of my eating gluten for 3 weeks to get tested. I feel horrible so I hope the tests give me an answer. This site is very helpful and you all are very welcoming!
