Ok I have been noticing my hand tremors, I always used to pride myself on my hand writing and now my hand tremors, I even cut myself off of caffeine, thinking I was drinking too much tea in the am. I went to my friends and showed her a pic on my phone. She asked me why I was so shaky, I don't know it's just my hands. What the heck? What eles do I have to look forward to with Celiac Disease? Do you think it is stemming from my Folic Acid being low? I have been on 1 mg of Folic Acid a day since seeing my Dr. My Dr. Also said I have RA. Well mostly it is my Shoulders that hurt. My knees sometimes but I had my knee reconstructed. Also in the AM my eyes are so RED swollen, I get up they start watering like crazy! burn like wild fire! I know I just went to the eye Dr. And have healthy eyes. Allergies maybe? Right now it is 9;30 pm. My hands are not shaking. In the Am they will be. I have Started my Zyrtec back because I was starting to get hives again. Not like before, just very lightly. On my inner thighs. I thought taking the Folic I was feeling better then, I don't know, the zap of energy I got just up and went. I don't think I am getting Glutened. At my wits end, tired of Drs. thinking I am just a tired housewife. I

How is your thyroid?

My Dad and his family have hand tremors. Just a nuisance and it is genetic. They do not have Parkinson's. Bobble Head Syndrome runs in my family too. Yes, it is a real disorder!

Did the shaking start after taking Zyrtec again?  Are your eyes better after starting Zyrtec?

I noticed you mentioned your hands weren't shaking at 9:30pm, but they would be in the A.M.

Is it before you eat breakfast, or shortly after?

I only ask because I tend to get shaky hands when I haven't had anything to eat for a while. I am guessing it has something to do with blood sugar. That could possibly explain why you shake in the morning, but not at night after dinner. I did ask my doctor about it, because it happens to me if I wait too long between any meal and he didn't seem concerned, but told me to eat small frequent meals or snack frequently and it does help me with that shaky feeling.

All of the above suggestions are good. If you haven't had your thyroid checked...it could be that. When I get hyper my hands tremble. I do get shaky when my blood sugar gets low too.

I get shaking hands too.  If I hold a fork, chances are it is trembling a bit.  It does get worse when I am hungry or have been eating sugar or more caffeine than usual.  

 

For me, I think it is pretty harmless.  They've been shaking for many years and it hasn't got much worse.

 

Hang in there. :(

We have this in our family.   Seems to get worse in my case when I am low on sugar.  And of course when I am anxious.  I have noticed an older relative of mine has it and it has got worse with age.   But it isn't Parkinsons.

My Mom has an essential tremor (it's a thing. look it up), which is hereditary and gets worse with age. I'm not sure if it's directly related, but Mom has Celiac and thyroid problems. She says it does get worse when she's tired/stressed. I can probably look forward to it in 20 years.

Ive had essential tremor since I was hmmm maybe it was 3rd grade? So much for ever going into a surgical theatre, right!  Its just genetic fo rme and no real big deal.  People comment on it when I have not had anything to eat and it is more prominent. I am 39 now and it has not really gotten "worse" per se... It will suck when I am much older I guess... ah well....

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Thank you both very much. I’m pretty familiar with the various tests, and my older two girls with official dxs have even participated in research on other tests as well. I just felt overwhelmed and shocked that these recent results (which I found pretty dang conclusive after having scott clean labs just six months ago) would still be considered inconclusive. Doc said we could biopsy in another six weeks because my daughter was actually way more upset than I anticipated about the idea of eating it for years before doing another biopsy. It doesn’t hurt her, but she’s afraid of how it may be hurting her in ways she can’t feel. She’s currently eating mini wheats for breakfast, a sandwich with lunch, and a side of pasta along with every dinner, so I’m hoping we’re meeting that 10g benchmark mentioned in that second article!

      Potential celiac need advice

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Have you tried a genetic test to look for Celiac genes?  No gluten challenge required.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @ElisaAllergiesgluten, Have you tried going on a low histamine Paleo diet like the Autoimmune Protocol diet?  A low histamine AIP diet would help your body rid itself of the extra histamine it's making in response to allergies.  Are you Celiac as well?   Since we need more thiamine when we're stressed, adding Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine Vitamin B 1, can help the body calm down it's release of histamine.  Benfotiamine improves Sailors' asthma.

      Toothpaste question.

      By RDLiberty · Posted

      So, I've been using a gluten free labeled toothpaste since being diagnosed with celiac. No big deal, the toothpaste seems to work. Question is, I just realized it contains hydrated silica.  Now, I've heard that silicon dioxide can cause issues in some people with celiac (was that ever confirmed though?), so to be safe, I cut it out of my diet entirely. But, as I understand it, hydrated silica is related to silicon dioxide. Is that something to worry about, or is the hydrated form not known to cause issues like the silicon dioxide form?  I've never seen it in food, but nearly every toothpaste I look at contains hydrated silica?  Issue or not?  Any scientific research (Not opinion pieces, not health bloggers, you get my gist), but actual science, that says it's an issue? I have a hard time believing 99% of what I read on random internet searches.    Thanks so much, Renee.
