I've found that I am shakey a lot and then when I eat surgar it goes away almost instantly, I was wondering if there is any disease that is like this maybe related to celiac disease.

I don't know, but would that have to do with sugar level and diabetes? I have no idea, but I've never heard of that having a connectoin with Celiac Disease.

I don't know what the correlation here is but I was diagnosed because I told my Doctor about gnawing hunger-like pains that I experienced almost constantly. These pains were relieved with the consumption of sugar. If I did not eat or consume sugar I would eventually get very shaky and weak. For some reason when I told her this she decided that she needed to test for celiac and my blood work came back showing high IGG. I then went gluten-free for a month and felt fantastic. Since then I have been consuming gluten for biopsy reasons. I am meeting with the top celiac GI tomorrow and hopefully will be biopsied next week., I can't wait to be done with this I am so sick of being sick. I smashed up my new car earlier this evening because it affects my vision, particulary depth perception. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this? I would greatly appreciate any input on these areas. Thanks!

I don't know if it is related to Celiac or not but I get shaky from time to time too. Normally it is when I haven't eaten in a while or haven't had a lot of sugar. I figure my sugar level in my blood just gets low so I eat some candy or drink some soda and I feel better quickly.

I get shaky too if I haven't eaten. I do know I am VERY sugar sensitive. I can't have too much or not enough.

My mother has always had to be careful with the amount of sugar in her diet as well. I don't think it is related to Celiac, she doesn't have it, we simply call those times as getting "fuzzy." It is possible we are hypoglycemic, I don't know how that is diagnosed. Our bodies just need to be as balanced as possible.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By trents · Posted

      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By nataliallano · Posted

      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really insightful observation about antibody testing and the gluten challenge! You’re absolutely right that antibody levels can remain elevated for months or even years after going gluten-free, especially if there’s ongoing cross-contamination or occasional slip-ups. The immune system doesn’t reset overnight—it can take time for antibodies like tTG-IgA to normalize, which is why many doctors recommend waiting at least 6–12 months of strict gluten-free eating before retesting. For someone who’s been gluten-free for less than two years or hasn’t been meticulous about avoiding cross-contact, there’s absolutely a chance they’d still test positive, since even small amounts of gluten can keep antibodies elevated. This is partly why the gluten challenge (where you eat gluten before testing) exists—it’s designed to provoke a measurable immune response in people who’ve been gluten-free long enough for antibodies to drop. But you raise a great point: the challenge isn’t perfect, and false negatives can happen if the timing or amount of gluten isn’t sufficient to trigger a strong antibody response. This is why diagnosis often combines antibody tests with other tools like genetic testing or endoscopy. Your question highlights just how nuanced celiac testing can be! For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

      Chest pain from celiac

      Thank you for your response! I have considered starting a food diary in the past, I suppose this is as good a time as any to start.
