Another round of neuropathy coming! Anything I can do?

2 Christmas glutenings and now I found out I've been slowly ingesting poison from the new coffee machine at work. The coffee itself is gluten free, but it comes out from the same pipe as cocoa and other drinks which I found out today had gluten in them. This is a major one folks! 

Gallbladder and all that is fine now, but I've been having neuropathy itch for a week. Today the itch slowly began to transform into the horrible zip zaps I had all over my body a few years ago. 

I know the source now so no more coffee and the neuropathy will pass, but is there anything I can do to ease it? I hate neuropathy! Would rather have D for a month!

I don't know for sure if it would help but you could try some sublingual B12. It can aid in healing nerves if your glutenings impacted the levels.

Supplements should help, but of course the main thing is to cut out all gluten, which it sounds like you've done.

BuddhaBar,

I dislike neuropathy, too!

"Peripheral Neuropathy Due to Vitamin Deficiency, Toxins, and Medications"

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4208100/

I take B12, Vitamin C, B6, and thiamine (B1) and thiamine's partner, magnesium, for the neuropathy.  Sometimes I take copper.  

That's all for the neuropathy.  To help me relax, I take tryptophan and L-Theanine.  I have also used passion flower extract and CBD oil.  Epsom salt (magnesium again) baths help.  

A hot water bottle pressed on problem areas works well for me.  

Find something for your mind to focus on, like a suspense movie  or a mystery.  Or a hobby, like knitting.  I try to find a project where I have to concentrate on something besides my buzzing toes! 

Stay hydrated. Don't eat sugar or carbohydrates. 

Lay on your back and prop your feet up.  Don't cross your legs or ankles.  Now try to wiggly each toe individually.  Let me know if that works for you and I'll explain why it works tomorrow!

Hope you feel better soon!

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      My sebaceous hyperplasia and thrush disappeared when I stopped all dairy.

      @knitty kitty Thank you so much for all that information! I will be sure to check it out and ask my doctor.  I am just at a loss, I am on my 2nd round of miracle mouthwash and I brush and scrape my tongue and (sorry this is gross) it's still coated in the middle

      Traditional brown rice vinegars are made by fermenting brown rice and water with koji (Kōji 麹). The gluten risk comes from the method of preparing the koji: rice, wheat or barley may be used. Regardless of the starting grain, "koji" typically will be listed as an ingredient, and that term alone does not indicate gluten status. I called Eden Foods regarding their product "Organic Brown Rice Vinegar" (product of Japan) to ask how their product is made. They gave me a clear answer that they >do< use rice and they >do not< use wheat or barley in preparing their koji. FWIW, the product itself does not contain any labeling about gluten, gluten risk, or gluten safety. Based on Eden's statement, I am going to trust that this product is gluten safe and use it.

      Your post nails the practical reality of living well with a celiac diagnosis. The shift from feeling restricted to discovering a new world of cooking—whether through a supportive partner making gluten-free spanakopita and gravy, or learning to cook for yourself—is exactly how many people find their footing. It turns a medical necessity into a chance to build kitchen skills, eat more whole foods, and actually enjoy the process. Your point that the basics—knife skills, food safety, and experimenting with spices—are all you really need is solid, helpful advice. It’s a good reminder that the diagnosis, while a pain, doesn’t have to stop you from eating well or having fun with food.

      You are experiencing a remarkable recovery by addressing core nutrient deficiencies, yet you've uncovered a deeper, lifelong intolerance to fruits and vegetables that appears to be a distinct issue from celiac disease. Your experience points strongly toward a separate condition, likely Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) or a non-IgE food intolerance, such as salicylate or histamine intolerance. The instant burning, heart palpitations, and anxiety you describe are classic systemic reactions to food chemicals, not typical celiac reactions. It makes perfect sense that your body rejected these foods from birth; the gagging was likely a neurological reflex to a perceived toxin. Now that your gut has healed, you're feeling the inflammatory response internally instead. The path forward involves targeted elimination: try cooking fruits and vegetables (which often breaks down the problematic proteins/chemicals), focus on low-histamine and low-salicylate options (e.g., peeled pears, zucchini), and consider working with an allergist or dietitian specializing in food chemical intolerances.
