Hope no one minds the constant questions. But do thes sound like symptoms too?

Ringing in head/ears

Feeling faint even when resting

Burning itching feet

Disturbed sleep/ disturbing dreams

Strange blurry vision, almost like being underwater.

Trembling in limbs and some times whole body shaking

Typing words wrong way round

Feeling exhausted by conversation

Dry mouth/ sticky nasty taste in mouth

Thank you

Jo

Hi Jo

 

Well, they sound like gluten-related symptoms to me. (I had almost all of those, too) but they could also be

 

caused by something else, so it is difficult to say for sure.

 

Here is a list of possible celiac- related symptoms and conditions.

I know you are awaiting your test results, so you may wish to read a little bit while waiting.

Hang in there!

Hi IrishHeart

I know they are also symptoms of b12 def which I have, but I am clutching at straws here ☺. I am also being tested for vit D def and I don't know what else as the nurse said the doctor had asked for several tests. She said he is very thorough so I am hopeful of some answers this time. Sounds crazy but In a way hope it is Celiac, then at least I will know something.

Not crazy at all! I was THRILLED to learn it was celiac after years of living in hell. It was something treatable

and I was not "making things up" and I got to do the "I told ya so" dance! :D .

 

Believe me, many of us "get that part".

Yep... the "I told you so dance". Did you notice Irishheart even has it in her signature?  LOL

The "I told you so dance" is nice -- validation is huge and sadly many of us had to fight far too much to obtain it.  This above all else is why I hang around celiac.com -- when I stumbled in four years ago -- others that were already dancing helped me.

 

Welcome Jo!

 

I hadn't seen your other questions...but keep reading and keep asking questions.  Good Luck with your results :)

Thankyou IrishHeart, Lisa and Nicole. This is a lovely forum and I have found some welcome comfort here. And even if I am not Celiac I hope I can still keep visiting. Yes I had noticed that happy little dancer!

hey guys, Jo is in the midst of a gluten challenge, so we are cheering her on!

 

https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/101386-anyone-feels-worse-in-the-morning/?hl=%2Bdozey#entry865664

 

and yes, I am dancing because at one point, I could not even walk without assistance. Lisa was in the same boat, Jo and she and I

are both so much better!

 

..........so do not despair. Healing happens!

Thanks Irish Heart. I can't walk very far which of course isn't helping the agoraphobia. My husband insisted on getting a wheelchair and although it just doesn't feel right being in it, it does mean I can get a bit further without worrying about ending up on the floor. So, when I feel well enough I try to go a bit further each outing. If I do too much I pay for it the next day, so I am trying to pace it.

I had my blood test yesterday but typical for me can't get to see my new doc until next Friday. I am dreading him saying I need an endoscopy because there is no way at the moment. I nearly passed out at the surgery and that's only two miles away. The hospital is 23 miles. An epic journey for an agoraphobic!

But for you to get to the bottom of this and stop the madness and get your life back, you may well have to do this, Jo.

 

I am not a drug pusher, but maybe you can ask the primary care doc for a small dose of xanax to calm you enough to get you to doctor visits. IMHO

I know this sounds as though I am being negative about everything but I can't take drugs. Even ordinary painkillers have an effect on me. I was given Diazepam some years ago and it just knocked me out for a few hours, then I felt worse when I woke up. So now I am afraid of taking drugs of any kind.

I have similar issues with drugs, which is why I put up with chronic pain rather than take the stuff they give me,

so no need to explain. The one that did not make me yucky for days was when I took just  a teensy bit of xanax

before a dental surgery that was going to last over an hour. Without it, I may have balked at doing it and it had to be done..

 

I am just suggesting it as a therapeutic measure to get you out of the house.

Certainly, you should always do what's best for you.

I appreciate that. Maybe it's going back to the car crash we had in 2004, although I recovered from that and have driven myself about since, even did a stint as a taxi driver. Lately I just have difficulty going anywhere in the vehicle. I don't think we wil crash or anything but maybe it's just general anxiety.

      celiac disease and braces

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      My only proof

      Years ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came...

      Your Complete Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Plan: Recipes, Tips & Holiday Favorites

      Wow what a helpful article!! I am just seeing this now but I hosted a small group of family for Thanksgiving at my house this year and I did some of these things- got a butterball gluten-free turkey, got gluten-free stuffing, had a few gluten-free sides, and a gluten-free nothing-Bundt-cake. I had other non gluten-free things there too for others, and I also...

Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      By HAUS · Posted

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By marion wheaton · Posted

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
