Gluten intolerance and cognitive function

by Marta

I'm currently preparing to be tested for Gluten Intolerance from my DR. I have many of the symptoms mentioned above with a few additional and I'm wondering if you think they're related.

For years now I've been feeling like I've had a few glasses of wine. I feel high much of the time and cognitively slow. It has had serious repercussions on my business. At first we thought it might be hormone related (I"M 54) but the blood work says otherwise.

I've also had this thing with my skin where it just feels hypersensitive to the touch of fabric or my hand. My internal organs will ache as well, kind of just like having the flu but with no fever. And then it goes away. I also have pea sized lumps here and there, mostly in my legs but also in my arms.. and they hurt.

My joints also hurt. The blood work shows no signs of lyme or Arthritis. My Blood Calcium Level is very low, as is my Vitamin D Level.

I'm curious to know if what I've described above is something anyone has experienced and has had connected to Gluten intolerance. Thanks so much!
