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'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.

      Buckwheat

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works
