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.

      Is this celiac?

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms. The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines. While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten...

      Is this celiac?

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go!  I'm certain you'll feel much better.   Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free.  The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients. A nutritionist can help guide you to a nutrient dense diet, but food sensitivities and food preferences can limit choices.  I can't consume fish and shellfish due to the sulfa hypersensitivity and iodine content, and dairy is out as well.  I react to casein, the protein in dairy, as well as the iodine in dairy.  My Dermatitis Herpetiformis is aggravated by iodine.   Blood tests for B vitamin levels are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change to show a deficiency.  I had subclinical vitamin deficiencies for years which affected my health, leading to a slow downward spiral.  Because the B vitamins are water soluble, they are easily excreted in urine if not needed.  It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.   Wheat and other gluten containing grain products have vitamins and minerals added to them to replace those nutrients lost in processing.  Manufacturers add cheap vitamins that our bodies don't absorb or utilize well.  Even normal people can suffer from vitamin deficiencies.  The rise in obesity can be caused by High Calorie Malnutrition, where people eat more carbohydrate calories but don't get sufficient thiamine and B vitamins to turn the calories into energy.  The calories are stored as fat in an effort to ration out diminishing thiamine  stores.    It's time to buy your own vitamins in forms like Benfotiamine that our bodies can use well.   Not sleeping well and fatigue are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.   I'm certain Benfotiamine with a B Complex will help you immensely.  Just don't take them at night since B vitamins provide lots of energy, you can become too energetic to sleep.  Better to take them earlier in your day.   Do keep me posted on your progress!

Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!
