I have just started eating gluten free (today is my 5th day) and for the past year or so I have had some neurological symptoms that I didn't think anything of until I began to realize that all of my random aches/pains/tingles may have something to do with each other! For me the symptoms are tingling (head/skull, hands, feet), vision migraines, and foggy head.

yep I had brain fog.  I can't count how many times I said, "Physically I'm here, but I feel out of it mentally."  It was like an out of body experience feeling.  the fog has lifted going gluten-free!

Yes, I can relate to all of that!   Ataxia fully describes what I go through.  I can't walk or move my arms without an extreme amount of concentration.  I'm dizzy, foggy headed, can't think straight and get confused.  Alot of times a reaction starts with tingling, either feet and legs or lips and face.  Then I notice I am dropping things and running into things.  Then it progresses to where I can't walk.  I have slurred speech and it is difficul,t if I can get anything out, for anyone to understand me.  Then my vision, my eyes cross sometimes so bad that it hurts. My husband says he can always tell when I start having a reaction from my eyes.  They look "freaky" as he calls it and they dilate. Once the reaction is full blown, all I can do is lay down and wait for it to pass.  Usually I can start to somewhat function after a couple of hours but the full effects can last for a few days.  I must be a very sensitive celiac because if I eat out and they don't cook it separately, different utensils, etc, then I will have a reaction.  Anyone else have that many symptoms?  I didn't used to get the neurological symptoms until about 1 1/2 years ago, (I have been sick for the past 6 years and just recently got diagnosed with celiac) and they did all kinds of testing in the hospital to make sure everything was okay neurological and it was.  I also get bad abdominal pains.  I have all of these same reactions when I eat dairy too, so I am now gluten and dairy free.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
