Hi everyone,

My feet and legs fall asleep after I have a bowel movement. Is this weird and something that I should be concerned about?

Is it from sitting on the toilet too long?

Actually, I sort of get that too - they get really tingly and, well, tired.

It doesn't matter if I'm on there for 5 seconds, or 10 minutes.

It esp. happens after a glutening and I am s$#&tin' every four seconds!

Our lives, eh?

I haven't noticed it on the toliet, but my arms/feet/legs do seem to fall asleep often, even in positions where they shouldn't, like sleeping (the body's level). But, I have slightly lower blood pressure, so that may be why??

I also would agree that it could be from sitting on the toilet too long. It happens to me, too.

That used to happen to me, if I sat on the mode too long. My arms and hands still get numb while driving... while using hand/power tools... etc.

I guess poor circulation is another 'goodie' of Celiac.

My feet and hands fall asleep at strange times too, but I have never associated it with BMs. If they are going totally numb then maybe you have something going on with your spine and a nerve.

My feet and hands do this too. It has become rather annoying, happens the most at night when going to sleep and/or sleeping. At first I thought that I was laying on my arm wrong but it happens when I'm awake as well. I also feel a tingling sensation on the side of my face and head sometimes. It is kidda scary. Anyone else have this feeling?

I never thought about it, but my arms/legs fall asleep easily.

I have some difficulty in the morning and after driving for an hour or longer....

Seems to be a common symptom between us.....

      Some Celiacs react to the dairy protein Casein the same as they would to gluten. This could explain your ongoing inflammation.   Allergies can raise your histamine levels as can processed gluten free products.  To clear histamine, certain vitamins can help, B12, Pyridoxine B6, Vitamin C, and Thiamine B1.   Optimal Vitamin D levels are between 80 and 100.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.   Seems like addressing nutritional deficiencies would be beneficial to you.  Blood tests aren't accurate measurements of the stores of vitamins inside cells in the tissues and organs where they are utilized.  Blood levels of vitamins can reflect what you've eaten in the past day or two.   Processed gluten free foods do not have vitamins added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  Vitamins are chemical compounds our bodies cannot make, so we have to get them from what we eat.  The gluten free diet can be short in some vitamins and minerals, so supplementing can be beneficial, especially since you're still having inflammation.

      @Jmartes71, What a stressful journey!  I'm so glad you found your way here.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Doctors don't recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms.  Which supplements are you taking?  Just herbal ones or vitamins?

      Do you consume dairy? Have you recently had an infection or cold? Do you have digestive symptoms?   Do you eat processed gluten free foods? What is your Vitamin D level?

      Help figuring out stomach pain

      @lizzie42, How are your daughter's bowel movements?  Does she have gas, diarrhea or constipation?  Does her squeezing feeling move around in her abdomen or is it consistently in one spot?  Is she dehydrated? How much fruit does she eat?  Fruit juices? I'd recommend cutting out the cheese for a while, till you get it sorted.
