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.....

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
