i get similar sensations in my head and other parts of my body. i don't think it's a gluten reaction, not for me anyway. feeling cold or heat sensations, numbness or tingling in hands, feet, face, head, or any other places on the body can be symptomatic of anxiety. so can lots of things: Open Original Shared Link

i have also experienced similar things during meditation and bodywork (like yoga and qigong) so for myself i relate it to some psychophysical effect. wasn't your blood work negative? i know you can get a false negative, but can you really conclude that its gluten yet when it could be other things? (not saying you should eat gluten again)

I used to get tingly feeling in my arms and legs...and then i started taking sublingual b-12 pills and it went away the next day.

But also, anxiety can definitely cause what you are describing. Try not to worry over every symptom and being overly aware of what your body is feeling....it just makes it worse.

I get that too, it kind of feels like my hair is falling out or something (it's not, although I could stand to lose some). I also get a feeling like my shoes are too tight when they're not, like my toes are falling asleep. I don't know what the heck causes it, though for me it seems to happen more when I'm eating gluten.

You're still VERY early into the diet, and you'll have random things happen for quite some time.

My son often complains of this even though he's been gluten-free for almost a year. In his case, I can honestly tell you that its not a glutening. Maybe this kind of thing just happens even though you're totally gluten-free?

Are you having him take the sublingual B12? Is he having any problems with 'clumsyness'? Is he diabetic? Are his shampoos, soaps etc. gluten-free. At his age he may also be getting cross contamination or actual glutening at school. Many art supplies are not safe and in some schools the old fashioned chalk can get us. It can take a long time for the neuro problems to go away completly and for some of us they are the first indications that we got got.

that would explain my "out of body" experinces i have had in the past where i will just lay my head down and the next thing i know i think im up and doing things then i snap out of it, scares the crap out of me but i have not had those for over 2 years

Lister,

If you see my post about the ALK PHOP. One of my complaints to my Dr. at my six month appt. was the "buzzing" type feeling I am getting in my feet I can occasionally get it in my hands and parts of my face. I also have raynauds though and that complicates a diagnosis. It feels to me like some kind of electric static.

The low ALk... reading might be a B12 thing, I am waiting to see the GI as my rhuematoligist has reeferd me back to him.

Mine seems to worsen when I try to warm the area up.

Many of us get this ... we call it "brain-fog" or similar but no Dr. seems to beleive it....

For me its almost like I'm on remote control except every so often my body does something I didn't tell it to do... like the RC batteries are on the way out.

For me its not so much out-of-body as in-body/out-of-body... I don't look down from the ceiling or anything, just feel like I am observing my own body but from inside? If that sounds weird, yeah its freaky.

i get brainfog all the time but these out of bodys only come when i put my head down

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
