Nerve pain all over the body

Hello everyone!

I should say that I don't have any confirmation that I'm celiac or even gluten intolerant. I'm 19, I will turn 20 soon. So, in august, I was at home, seeing the Olympic's and I have this sensation of pin and needle in my legs, next day I had it on my arms and my hands hurted in waves, acute pain.  A few days before, my belly hurted, first in a specific place, above my belly button a few centimetres right. The following days I've experienced muscle tension on my neck, arms and brain zaps. I have this sensation on my face too, even in my eyes, inside. It was everywhere! I had strong muscle spasms too, all over the body. I had bruises on my legs for no reason. When I had my menstruation I loss the sensibility all over the body, and I was so so tired, I never felt that way. I had tingling in my hands, feets, legs, arms and head. I saw a neurologist on ER (I went there like 2 weeks after this all started) and she said, quickly, that I had general anxiety and the first thought was "But I finnished my things at college in the beginning of july...I'm relaxed since them..." and I saw a psyquiathrist after my neurological tests went normal. I took an ansiolitic 2 weeks that stopped the spasms, but the rest was there yet. The sensibility come back a day or two later. I stopped the ansiolitic and the spasms came back. Once I was very stressed and I lost sensibility in a half of my body, or something. I saw another neuro in ER and he's following me, and besides he thinks that could be psyco, he will do a MRI of my brain and tyroid thests, on May...Since 2 months ago I'm experienced with like bone pain. The all pains last like few seconds and it's very very random. I have lack of balance too, not much, but I notice. I noticed too that one of my legs is more skinny than the other, a bit.

I'm having troubles with my bladder since may 2015, I had 2 ITU's and took meds for that, and my bladder went crazy, much less tolerant. And I had several pain in my vulva, for no reason, in the same time. Random, too. It got like 99% better (the vulva pain) when this thing with whole body started. My gyno thought that it is Candida (I had that due to the meds to the ITU's) and I took itraconazol and fluconazol, the first one I took one every day, 25 days.

I have no idea what I have, everyone thinks that I'm crazy or something. I thought about MS too...:( But, I saw here that many of you have this neurological symptoms too.

So, for the record, currently I have:

-Tingling; Burning; random nerve pain, random bone pain; lack of balance; spasms; muscle pain and when I'm on my period, fatigue, lack of sensibility; bladder problems. (almost all of this last a few seconds...)

Sorry for the long post and some mistakes, the english is not my mother language.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      Sigh. I posted this yesterday based on the Safeway website. I went back again today to their website to double check. On the page where they are selling Vanilla Bean flavor, it has a distinct Certified Gluten Free label. Other flavors on the Safeway website didn't have the gluten-free statement. Today I went into the store. None of the flavors I looked at, including Vanilla Bean, have a Gluten Free statement. Is it safe? Who knows. The ingredients are either safe or nearly safe (some have "natural flavor"). There are warnings about "contains milk and soy" but not about wheat - this implies they are safe, but again, who knows. On the other hand, every flavor I checked of their Slow Churn line of ice creams has wheat as an ingredient. 100% not safe.

      Do keep in mind that many of the newly diagnosed have lactose intolerance.  This is because the villi lining the intestinal tract are damaged, and can no longer make the enzyme lactAse which breaks down the milk sugar lactOse.  When the villi grow back (six months to two years), they can again produce the enzyme lactAse, and lactose intolerance is resolved.  However, some people (both those with and without Celiac Disease) are genetically programmed to stop producing lactase as they age.   Do be aware that many processed foods, including ice cream, use Microbial Transglutaminase, a food additive commonly called "meat glue," used to enhance texture and flavor.  This microbial transglutaminase has the same immunogenicity as tissue transglutaminase which the body produces in response to gluten in people with Celiac Disease.  Tissue Transglutaminase (tTg IgA) is measured to diagnose Celiac Disease in blood tests.  Microbial Transglutaminase acts the same as Tissue Transglutaminase, causing increased intestinal permeability and inflammation.   New findings show that microbial transglutaminase may be able to trigger Celiac Disease and other autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases.   Microbial Transglutaminase is not required to be listed on ingredients labels as it's considered a processing aid, not an ingredient in the U.S.  Microbial Transglutaminase has been GRAS for many years, but that GRAS standing is being questioned more and more as the immunogenicity of microbial transglutaminase is being discovered. Interesting Reading:  Microbial Transglutaminase Is a Very Frequently Used Food Additive and Is a Potential Inducer of Autoimmune/Neurodegenerative Diseases https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8537092/

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      probably not your situation @Mimiof2, but allow me to add one more to @trents list of celiac-mimics: "olmesartan-induced sprue-like enteropathy"

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/
