I have just started eating gluten free (today is my 5th day) and for the past year or so I have had some neurological symptoms that I didn't think anything of until I began to realize that all of my random aches/pains/tingles may have something to do with each other! For me the symptoms are tingling (head/skull, hands, feet), vision migraines, and foggy head.

yep I had brain fog.  I can't count how many times I said, "Physically I'm here, but I feel out of it mentally."  It was like an out of body experience feeling.  the fog has lifted going gluten-free!

Yes, I can relate to all of that!   Ataxia fully describes what I go through.  I can't walk or move my arms without an extreme amount of concentration.  I'm dizzy, foggy headed, can't think straight and get confused.  Alot of times a reaction starts with tingling, either feet and legs or lips and face.  Then I notice I am dropping things and running into things.  Then it progresses to where I can't walk.  I have slurred speech and it is difficul,t if I can get anything out, for anyone to understand me.  Then my vision, my eyes cross sometimes so bad that it hurts. My husband says he can always tell when I start having a reaction from my eyes.  They look "freaky" as he calls it and they dilate. Once the reaction is full blown, all I can do is lay down and wait for it to pass.  Usually I can start to somewhat function after a couple of hours but the full effects can last for a few days.  I must be a very sensitive celiac because if I eat out and they don't cook it separately, different utensils, etc, then I will have a reaction.  Anyone else have that many symptoms?  I didn't used to get the neurological symptoms until about 1 1/2 years ago, (I have been sick for the past 6 years and just recently got diagnosed with celiac) and they did all kinds of testing in the hospital to make sure everything was okay neurological and it was.  I also get bad abdominal pains.  I have all of these same reactions when I eat dairy too, so I am now gluten and dairy free.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.
