>Has anyone else noted daydreaming as one of their celiac syptoms?
>(extreme daydreaming, all day long, interferes with daily activities)
----------------------------------
Of about 20 responses,
4 said that daydreaming was a problem before their diet or with
slip ups in their diets.
A dozen people mentioned 'foggy head' 'fuzzy head' or concentration
problems. They did not specify exactly. It seems that some people
daydream, others minds go blank (a perfect zen like state :) ),
others have trouble concentrating ( too many thoughts or can't
keep a train of thought), still others are feeling tired, and can't keep
up the mental energy to make it all the way through the day.
2 people mentioned it might be ADD related. It doesn't seem to be a
classic ADD case to me though if it comes suddenly, and goes away
a day or two later.
1 person mentioned Autism. Who knows , maybe being totally out
of it, is just a taste of what its like to have autism.
2 people mentioned that peptides from wheat and milk can cross into
the brain and cause sleepyness, trance like states, and many
other symptoms. (again relating to the autism gfcf diet). I just saw
on www.milksucks.com, that they were listing dairy products as
the most consumed food group (in pounds per average yearly diet)
and wheat as #2. Don't know if the numbers are accurate, but
scary to think about.
1 couple mentioned that their memory was WORSE on the GF diet
than before.
It seems that I too have noticed this. Not that my
memory is bad now, but maybe my memory was excellent before.
In school, i could remeber every lesson or conversation for 2-3
years afterword. Now I can't remember peoples names i met last
week.
I read that excess histamine can produce an alpha state in the
brain (similar to hypnosis or a very relaxed state). I have also read
that adrenaline (which could be released to fight allergies) also
triggers learning and memory retention.
Just my 2 cents worth....feel free to comment.
