Another Symptom Question.

[holiday16]

I'm curious how many have shaking as a symptom? I accidentally had gluten this past weekend and have been shaking off and on for the last 3 days. Finally stopped this morning. It's very similar to parkinson type shaking, but the severity fluctuates and it's never severe. Both hands used to shake, but now I notice it's more often just the right side so maybe that's a good sign that it's improving?

My muscles also become very weak and I noticed that I lose hair anytime I accidentally consume gluten. There are many more symptoms, but I'm just amazed at the effect it can have. I've been getting massage therapy for a while now and the lady that does it noticed that since going gluten free my range of motion for my neck is better. My back also doesn't hurt as bad. It's as if the gluten makes my muscles tighten. Does that make sense to anyone?

I'd love to hear from others with neuro. related syptoms. I had this for so long before being diagnosed that's it's a relief to finally put a name to it and know that I'm not the only one.

yep, I get shaking when glutened. Severe glutenings are petit-mal seizure-like (although I remain conscious), low-level glutenings cause intermittent muscle spasms and general weakness/shakiness when walking or sitting.

Yes, you sound just like me.

I get very shaky to the point that I can barely type. Hair loss is very common and muscle atrophy are both symptoms of malnutrition. Make sure that you take a good multi-vitamin.

I have found the large does of B-12 seem to help with the shakes. Your body will take what it needs and dumps the rest. If you are not absorbing now, it might be helpful to take some B-12 injects for a while until you can successfully take them orally.

Believe me, you are in good company!
