I have had the shakes all day, but did not know why. I discovered that the Vitasoy choc milk that I had for BK has gluten in it. Do any of you get the shakes when glutened? I was also tired and depressed all day, but could not figure out why!!!!

Or....am I just drinking too much coffee?

Yes, I get the shakes with gluten contamination. It's one of the symptoms that drive me crazy.

Maybe that answers why I had the shakes a couple weeks ago. I then had horrible joint pain for nearly 7 days and brain fog that was debilitating. I didn't actually eat a large portion of gluten, must have been in a sauce on a meal I ordered at a restaurant. Adding shakes to my list of gluten symptoms... <_<

I get the shakes, but I've been attributing it to low blood sugar. Who knows, though? :blink:

I get the shakes, even with gluten-free! Ever since getting Celiac I have been very unsteady. Its so annoying sometimes :P %L0

I've gotten the shakes pre- and post-diagnosis. I also think it's low blood sugar--I need to graze throughout the day; otherwise, I get the shakes, migraines, upset stomach, and I crave gluten to the point that I've held a croissant in my hand before realizing how bad it would be even to take a single bite.

Besides the usual digestive "trauma", I get hot/cold flashes, DH, and severe lathargia...

I get the hand shakes alot and it also seems to be associated with a dry mouth, somewhat slurred speach and stuggleing to find the right words. (brain fog). Sometimes I feel that I am walking sideways.

Sometime, when I type, I find my fingers all over the key and can barely type a sentence.

This is the scariest part of the symptoms for me, because I feel that it is neurological. I can sit on the potty for the rest of my life, but don't mess with my brain, kind of scary.

I have lived 2/3's of my life, I have done my duty and done it well. Now, I want to have fun --- SO GLUTEN DON'T BE MESSING WITH ME.

(i'm a small dog with a big bark :huh: )

Lisa, you are so right! It's the neurological things that are so scarry and frustrating! I've been brain fogged and shaky so bad that I'm scared to drive. And living so far from town makes that a tough one at times.

Shirley, I know that I will never be the person that I was before I got sick. But is really makes me feel concerned. I try to do mind games with myself....For instance, when you lying in bed drifting off to sleep, sometimes I try to retrace my thoughts backwards. It is really hard to do, but I do think it will help keeping the brain muscle active. For example: A thought about a boat, what made me think about a boat, the water, what brought up the water.......

It is hard to do, but it can also kinda figure out some dreams.

Who knows :blink:

:lol: I do mind games too. I think my biggest mind game is trying to figure out new software in my computer. :rolleyes:

But yes, at night I lay awake and try to solve problems, sometimes my biggest computer, sewing or personal relation problems get solved before I go to sleep. It's funny how that works ... now I just have to remember the solutions in the morning. :D

With this disease it's really good to have a sense of humour!

I was glutened by my dentist yesterday and was shaky all afternoon and evening. I didn't know why. I'm glad you brought this up. I was begining wondering what else was going wrong with my body.

      Hey there, have you been tested for allergies? You may not only have celiac disease but be allergic. I have celiac disease and am allergic to Barley, wheat and rye.

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/

      Thank you so much for the clarification! Yes to these questions: Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards. The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.    Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.   However, another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.   I recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!
