Tingling and numbness is a symptom of celiac disease.

Before I was first dignosed, I would get some tingling on my right side, mostly near my neck.

Betty--I get the cold sweating in my feet and hands. I don't connect mine to gluten, but it does happen when my stomach is upset. I get stomach upset often, even though I know I am not getting any gluten. I had a great deal of tingling and numbness--from my face all the way down my left side and both lower legs and feet. Gradually, over months, it got better--although I still get it in my face and arm. Are you feeling any better at all?

oh thanks, I thought someone would know what I was dealing with..I know my dinner was safe!

I'm a little better, but not good...I keep telling myself to call my Gastro and make an appt. to get a colonoscopy, its the only GI related test I have not had, too scared and embarrassed. does anyone know what they look for and what can be found with a colonoscopy? I don't want to do it at all!

I think all this stomach pain is from being glutened last week, I seem to do Okay for a couple weeks, then I'm down again..no rhyme or reason sometimes

hugs...

I just had mine on Monday. In my case they were looking for anything out of the ordinary. I think GIs have a routine list of things they look for. I have pain in my left side...he said that is a symptom of IBS, so I think in addition to many other things he was looking to rule out anything more serious. He was looking for cancer, diverticula, ulcers (colitis, crohn's, etc). I was asleep during my procedure so don't remember anything about it...I also had an endoscopy at the same time...both procedures together took probably around 30 minutes. The worst part of the colonoscopy is the prep work you'd have to do...the colon needs to be squeaky clean, so you basically have to drink stuff that makes you have D, lol. They put in an IV when I got to the surgicenter, and that wasn't bad either. I don't remember much else except waking up in a recovery area and being loopy for a long while afterwards...had a good nap though.

Donna's right about the colonoscopy and endoscopy. Be sure you have someone drive you home.

My first symptoms were numbness and tingling in my hands and feet. Eventually ataxia set in. Neurologists were going nuts! Finally a rhumatologist found the celiac. Odd, huh? It's funny I told them about the D but they didn't connect it. Thank God for the rhumatologist. Please, be sure to let ALL your doctors know about the numbness and tingling. Take care!

You may also want to add a gluten free sub-lingual B12 tablet to your vitamins. It disolves under the tongue and bypassess the GI tract where it is often not being adequately absorbed. A low B12 level often causes these sensations so you may want your doctor to check those levels.

thanks donna :D

I bought sub-lingual B12 last week at traders, but when I got home I noticed it has lactose in it..I'm lactose intolerant..though I don't think there would be enough to bother me...it doesn't go into my belly anyway does it?

Could be that you got glutened. How long have you been gluten free? Definite symptom that is associated with celiac.

It sounds like your talking about peripheal neuropathy. It is an associated problem with Celiac. I've been to a neurologist, and my GI doc, both have said its an effect of being glutened. Sometimes, its so bad for me, I can't hold things! I also get tongue numbness.

I've been gluten free 3 months, thought I'd be much better by now, but lots of great members here have told me it can take up to a year

Its an awful feeling, having it again now :blink:

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Roses8721! How long were you off gluten before getting the celiac blood testing done? The testing is not valid after having been gluten free for a significant period of time. Many of your symptoms align with celiac disease.
