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:

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
