Numb burning thigh, constant night sweats and very angry most of the time. Am i going nuts?

Ive was diognosed celiac disease 9 months ago. Ive had 5 or 6 bouts of CC exposure in that time. Each time it happens i get violent vomiting, sweat buckets, no real stomach pain just nausea and vomiting for 24 hours, im also feezing cold and cant get warm. Im then left confused, fatigued and ussually lose half a stone each time. 

My question is, in between bouts im still sweating nightly and struggling with anger issues and my right thigh is constantly numb and burns and tingles and is much worse in the morning.

Welcome to the forum, Mathew!

I suspect you have something else going on in addition to your celiac disease but it will be hard to tell unless you can eliminate the regular CC. If I do the math you are getting CC'd about every 6 weeks and your body may not be recovering fully in between episodes of CC. At any rate, I would involve a physician in this matter. The numbness only in one thigh sounds like it could be a spinal issue, maybe a pinched nerve or something. We have had other forum members reporting night sweats but I'm not sure if this is tied to celiac disease or something else.

Thanks pal appreciate that. Docs dont know why im sweating at night all bloods were fine although my thyroid was slightly over active. I have more blood tests next week but i assume they will come back as fine as the ussually do.

I think the only way for you to eliminate gluten as the culprit for all of the issues you're having would be to be 100% gluten-free for several months or longer. Only then will you know for sure how it might be affecting you.

You might look up meralgia paresthetica to see if it describes your thigh symptoms. I used to have it, due to a nerve being compressed, and it was worse at night when I was lying flat on my back.

I found that sleeping with a pillow under my knee helped a lot.

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
