Is It A Gluten Problem

I have a long list of problems. Diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, fatigue, irritability, substantial weight loss, just to name a few. But my question is about my arms. They feel like they are on fire with pins and needles only when they get cold. Is this a celiac symptom?

From reading I certainly think this could be celiac.  How about having that tested?  The only things ya got to lose is some blood, and some horrible symptoms. 

 

Wishen you well as you begin your journey.  The diagnosis is the first hurdle, jump it!

 

I can't answer for myself about the pins and needles, so I will leave that one to someone else that had it.

Check out info on Celiac or gluten + "peripheral neuropathy" and see if it sounds right.  I had a tingling/"asleep"/pin & needles sensation in my fingers pretty frequently before I cut out gluten.

I just got a gi appointment for june 4. I noticed yesterday that when my 4 year old went potty her stool was very pale and floated. Every symptom I have points me to celiac. I have four kids and fear at least one of them may have to fight this battle with me. Very scared

You are on the right track learning about it.  It seems overwhelming now, but you'll make your way through it.  You will be very thankful when you feel better.  Hang in there through the start.  The rewards can be great.  Okay?

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?
