Numb Hands And Feet

I am new to this Site and I was hoping for some help.

 

Last week I bought melatonin tablets (that dissolves under the tongue) and took them 4 times ( once every night for 4 nights) before I realized that they had gluten. The stupid ingredients were so small and were written in gray on pale purple so I missed it. 

 

I didn't realize that I had been glutened because I had no gastrointestinal symptoms at all, instead my  hands began feeling numb.

 

The last time I took the melatonin was 4 days ago and every day I seem to get worse. My Feet are now numb along with my hands and I am fatigued and just feel terrible.

 

 Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it out of my system? Has anyone else had this reaction to gluten? If so, how long did it last?

 

Any help would be appreciated as I am going crazy!!!!

I am sorry that you are sick ! Everyone is different when it comes to healing. Remember, gluten triggers an autoimmune flare-up that can last for days or weeks! Just drink lots of fluids, take it easy and get lots of sleep. That is my line of defense.

I hope you recover quickly!

Oh, I get numbness in my fingertips and tingling in my legs. I am not B-12 deficient. My doctor thinks it is just related to celiac disease. Those symptoms resolve over time, but will occur when I get glutened. It happens to the best of us!

Yes, as Cyclinglady mention, lots of fluids. It might not flush the stuff, but rather re- hydrate you as you do.  Go on a "clean" diet.  Fresh seafood, meats, potatoes, rice, fresh veggies with simple seasoning - salt and pepper.  Hope you feel better soon.

An Omega-3 fatty acid (fish oil) deficiency can cause poor circulation in the hands. I used to have trouble with that. I found the circulation in my hands improved greatly when I went gluten free.

      Bold Taste, No Alcohol & Crafted to Remove Gluten: Daura Non-Alc Beer Takes Alcohol-Free Beer to the Next Level

      I'm being SERIOUS here! Absolutely none of the styles of beer I use to drink are ever represented in the gluten-free market.

      Hmm, I think you mean the Gluten Intolerance Group®? Their website is not gig.net. Maybe it was at one point? I am new to all of this, but did find their website here: https://gluten.org/ Kind Regards, Known1

I was low normal/deficient in all three, and found that when I supplemented them all I felt better.  That said, my private nutritionist put me onto a very expensive broad spectrum supplement pill which no doubt went some way to address other deficiencies, and I took it into my own hands to take a supplement which contained all the B vitamins., too.  Interestingly, when I checked the supplements with my own GP a little while later she was very worried about the large doses of one particular vitamin that the broad spectrum supplement contained, so I came off the lot - although my gastroenterologist still has me take vitamin D.

Have you had the rash biopsied for Dermatitus Herpetiformus?  Atopic Dermatitis and dermatitis herpetiformis share symtoms and atopic dermatitis patients have higher risk of dermatitis herpetiformis.  dermatitis herpetiformis is a symptom of Celiac diagnosis. When I had the carotid artery stent, the hospital put down "wheat allergy" for the food service.  I guess allergy puts the fear of god in them more than the misunderstood Celiac Disease.  Whatever keeps me alive in this world.

      @Scott Adams, You're right about corn and wheat not sharing similarities in the 33-mer peptide segment of gluten.  Corn has a completely different peptide that causes an autoimmune reaction because it attaches to HLA-DQ8.  Casein in dairy shares with wheat similarities in the33-mer peptide chain. Sorry about the oversimplification.  Maize Prolamins Could Induce a Gluten-Like Cellular Immune Response in Some Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3820067/
