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.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
