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.

Shirley:

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.

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
