I'm sure there is something on here about this but I am too stressed to even search. Just today my feet, hands, arms, part of my face, and lower back are tingling and numb...my fingers ache!!! What the heck is going on and what do I do?! I'm worried I was glutened yesterday. Is this a symptom? Never had it happen all these years. Feeling scared?

I guess it could be from a glutening.  It worries me that half your face tingles/numb....    I am guessing it might be something else.  You might want to call your doctor

I agree with Lacey. At the very least, make a call to your doctor tomorrow. If you feel really frightened, maybe your doctor has a call service and he can get back to you.

Lacey, how are you feeling today?


I agree that you should see the doctor to make sure there isn't something new or more serious going on, but try not to panic. Easier said than done, I know (I have a lot of health anxiety) but I have been researching a lot about nerve tingling in relation to Celiac and it is definitely a symptom that some people have. So get it checked out because you need to take care of yourself, but don't get yourself into a bad state of anxiety about it.

I often look back at all the time I lost to my health anxiety and think that I can never get that time back :-/ As my best friend says, "It isn't a thing until it's a thing." Go see if it's a thing :-D

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
