Symptom I haven't seen anywhere.

I work on the road, and after talking to doc about symptoms, he ordered tests for Celiac to coincide with blood checkup on my Type 2 that were already scheduled for the 22nd. 

So I've been doing some research on Celiac and find that many of my symptoms match. I went on a gluten free diet for the last 2 weeks and some have gotten better, but there is a nagging symptom, and the most disturbing one, that won't go away. I can't find anyone talking about this one. I thought maybe someone here has experienced it as well.

This all started in January when I woke up, within 30 minutes I was vomiting, severe diarrhea, light/foggy headed, unsteady on feet, muscles twitching, lower legs and forearms went cold, and I passed out for 3-4 seconds. Friend rushed me to hospital, and it happened again there, where they thought it was a 3-4 second seizure. 

This continues to happen, albeit in a lessor capacity. I haven't had a pass out/seizure incident, but the signs that lead to it still happen. It comes on quick, and lasts for about 2-3 hours, and afterward I'm extremely fatigued. The only thing I think is helping stop it is, tons of water. It seems I'm dehydrating very fast, but this could just be me over analyzing. If anyone has a clue to this, or has experienced it, I would love to hear from you. 

Thanks

Did you already have the celiac testing?  This is important because all celiac testing requires you to be on a regular full gluten diet.  In as little as two weeks, some people can reduce antibodies.  Then they get a negative on the celiac disease antibodies blood tests.  Diagnostic limboland! Please get back on gluten if you want an accurate result.  

Symptoms?  There are over 200 of them and the list is growing.  Problem is they can be same (overlap)  as illnesses like cancer or other autoimmune, for instance.  The only way to know is to get tested.

Yeah, I just learned I need to stay on gluten. I plan on getting back on today. I'll be tested on the 22nd. I was just looking to see if anyone else ever experienced this symptom.

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!

      Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. Many of them are found close together on the chromosomes.

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.
