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.

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.
