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.

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

      Thanks I am mostly looking for everyday staples and easy meal ideas nothing too specialty if possible.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?
