Longer Term Recovery - Neuro Setbacks

cristiana

Recommended Posts

This quesiton is for anyone who has recovered from neurological symptoms.

 

I often read on celiac posts online that neuro symptoms are often the last to clear up.  I am trying my hardest to stay clear of gluten but the neuro problems persist, two years gluten-free.   They almost seem to disappear, then start off again.   Same things - buzzy ankle, tingling fingers due to ulnar compression/carpal tunnel, which has been properly DXd, and facial buzzing and tingles.  

 

Are there any celiac veterans out there who experienced these setbacks?  Was it always gluten that brought these things back or did you have a hunch that other factors were at play?

I'd love to know the answer as well. I am 100% gluten free. I haven't been glutened since March of last year, but I will have symptoms come up that are similar to before I went gluten free. It makes me wonder if we can have a flare up without consuming gluten.

One thing to understand is that other things can activate the Auto Immune system.  Stress, sickness, other AI issues can all activate it.  This in turn can cause some, all or different symptoms to pop up while the AI system is cranked.  Also, remember that perfectly healthy people have aches, pains, tingles, head aches, all kinds of things that just happen and cannot be attributed to any disease or sickness.  

 

I'm not trying to belittle anything any one person is experiencing, but, keep things in perspective.  Also, consider the fact that some damage from Celiac or any AI Disease may be permanent.  Don't think of this stuff as a set-back,  Sometimes the smaller things can be dealt with easier when thinking about your health overall.

Colleen - thank you so much for that reply, I find it v. reassuring.   Looking back the latest stuff came along with some stressful hospital tests, a new job and a nasty virus.   You have really helped me.

Here is an easy to read article that explains things better than I.  It's good for all of us to keep in mind.  New (a year or so) Celiacs can obsess about all kinds of things that really mean nothing due to Celiac.  Some people start cutting back foods they eat drastically thinking it is Celiac related when it's not.  

 

The best advice I can give any Celiac is to look at improvements as a whole and realize some things need a lot of time to improve and other things may never improve, but you will eventually find your new normal and work with it.

 

Stay positive girls  :D

      The Happy Tart review

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them.

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

      The Happy Tart review

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my...

      The Happy Tart review

      You would think any business would see the wisdom of honoring a $50 gift certificate on the basis of customer satisfaction alone, apart from any questions about software glitches.

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
