Hands Shaking


Lisa

Recommended Posts

Lisa Mentor

With two months into gluten free.....

I am now feeling better, slowly. I have been keeping most of my meals where they should be. It still seems that every third day is not so good. After lunch for several hours are bathroom trips. It is slow, but progressive improvements.

It does seem that on those bad days, my hands shake and it is almost impossible to type on the computer. I tend to drop things and basically feel very spastic.

I am not sure whether this is a dehydration issue or not. I have a first cousin with MS and that really scares me.

Could this be a side effect of celiac disease? Anyone out there having the same experience?

Impute would be gratefully accepted.

I have the same sympton, but I have not yet be able to corlate it with any cuase. Theres no MS in my family that I know of. I am not yet gluten-free though... so might be completley unrelated to yours.

Ahh , yes, a very familiar symptom when I get contaminated. Let's see, blisters, dry mouth and the shakes, then you don't stray for more than two minutes away from the bathroom. Fog brain and no driving, can't concentrate long enough and we have a fast highway to contend with before we get anywhere. Hate those days! Very careful to avoid them as much as possible.

Glad to talk to you again. I am still not healed, so I don't know whether it is gluten or not. I guess that will take some time. I have only entered a few new things into my diet. Oscar Meyers bacon bits, Oil of Olay vit. (clearly say "gluten free" and Clinique lipstick that I have checked to be gluten-free, Annie Roasted Pepper dressing. Every third day is a not so good one...........but, better than every day. So I guess there is progress here. Mornings are good, I do my run-arounds before lunch, which I have to remind myself to eat, after that not so good. By dinner, I'm fine. I do think that I have to back down on the adult totties. I am sure that will help, but hard to do.

Getting Cold up there?

It has cooled down somewhat, and although we have had a frost or two, it's not yet freezing at night. We do have the beautiful fall colours, and the day time temp is hanging around 60F. :)

I've never seen the Annie Roasted Pepper dressing, but the rest sounds fine to me. Although there is quite often an ingredience difference between the U.S. and Canada. That's unfortunate, as it tends to be confusing, especially if one travels between the two countries often.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
