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.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
