Tingly feet?

Hi guys,

I believe recently I glutened myself. Nothing with my stomach but my body just aches and my feet and hands have been tingling for about 2 weeks, is this normal? I read something called Peripheral Neuropathy? Seems to be the same symptoms I have. Will it go away though? It said it could take up to 4 weeks to go away! Can someone give me some answers?! Thanks :/

I had the same thing and while it can be that, mine was bc I was deficient in vitamins, talk with your Dr and get your vitamin levels checked.

Low levels of B12 can cause this. You may want to supplement with a sublingual B12 tablet.

Also, low iron and folic acid.  I think you should get your levels tested, supplementation can make a real difference if it is required. However - make sure it IS required by being tested, as overload of certain vitamins, minerals etc, can be dangerous and can cause symptoms.

As mentioned above it is probably a mixture of Peripheral Neuropathy  made worse by vitamin deficiencies, while others mentioned the common culprits of B-vitamins I found my major issue to be magnesium. You might want to consider supplementing, especially after a gluten exposure it can help. On magnesium it can depend on your symptoms and your body what form you need. If you have a BM less then once a day or find them hard then you need Magnesium Citrate like Natural Vitality Calm, start with 1/4 tsp a day and up it too the full dose or til you get loose stool (dose to tolerance). IF your BM is normal then go with a glycinate like Doctors Best and dose to the recommended dosing.
B-Vitamins I use Liquid Health combo of Stress & Energy and Neurological Support 1tbsp each 3 times a day. You can find all these on Lucky Vitamin.com and Amazon and just shop by pricing. If you need links I can get some for

Good point Ennis, magnesium is a wonder.  Also good for twitching muscles, as I have found.

Is it okay to take b12 and magnesium without a blood panel, will it hurt if I take a few just to see if it works?

Not really, magnesium you dose to tolerance anyway, B-vitamins...you can not really OD on them at all, you body does not maintain them in your body, your always passing them in your urine. Most find they need up and above level B-vitamins. Everyone is different in what they need and how their body manages it. Start off with small dosing and bring it to where you feel better slowly. Try the ones I suggest.

...yeah the stuff I suggested is like 325mg a full dose, why I said to get the powder you put in your drink. This way you can dose to what you need and why I said to start off with 1/4 tsp instead of the full on dose of 2tsp.

or use this, it is hard to know if your getting enough as this one will not cause D and seems less effective to me but I still use it on rotation, seems much more relaxing

On the B-vitamins.....not just B-12 you need the whole spectrum many work together they also are best absorbed when consumed before a meal and make sure you eat some form of fats and veggies in the meal so you get the other nutrients for your body to use them. I use 1tbsp each 2-3times a day.

      Oral thrush question

      Hi Everyone, I do appreciate your replies to my original post. Here is where I am now in this journey. I am currently seeing a Naturopath. One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD. My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow. She has put me on some digestive enzymes...

      Oral thrush question

      Hi @JulieRe. I just found your post. It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida. I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment. In the meantime, I have been working with a functional...

      Advice while waiting for testing

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct r...

I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar.

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
