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:

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
