Neurological Symptoms?

Hi,

 

I'm wondering how many of you have more neurological symptoms than gut?  For example, tingling in the extremities, numbness in the face/tongue or the same feeling in your mouth when you are coming off of anesthesia at the dentist?  Also, achy joints or headaches.  Just curious as I get these regularly even after a few years of being gluten-free.

 

Thanks.

My glutening symptoms are sometimes neurological, as you described. But if you don't think they're due to gluten to being gluten free, maybe it's time to talk to a neurologist? Also, hydration has a lot to do with that for me at least.

I have had problems with tingling on the top of my feet but I only feel it when applying lotion.  A little tingling in the legs every now and then and in the past year I had what felt like a pinched nerve in my neck and lower back (both a year apart).  It felt like someone was stabbing me with a knife if I moved so I has to lay on the couch or stay in bed and move as little as possible.  Three weeks ago I started experiencing a burning sensation on my left outter thigh.  I thought it was because I had been sitting too long but that wasn't the case.  It has come and gone at least 4 times since my first episode.    Not sure if all are related but from what I hear there isn't much that can be done about any of it.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac...

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
