Anyone else get this pins and needles feeling off and on throughout the day in their hands and feet. What is it and why does it happen.

It sounds like peripheral neuropathy which is associated with some other health issues - this list is not inclusive:

1) celiac

2) vitamin B deficiency

3) diabetes

4) chemotherapy

to name a few....

a good website for medical information is mayoclinic.com

Does this condition go away? I was told i had the early stage of celiac disease by my gi doctor. Should i be having these symptoms?

Mine did go away--it took several months, though.

As you begin to absorb nutrients again, it should start to resolve. Not everyone gets this, but it's definately associated with Celiac. I would give it 2-3 months and see if the diet is helping.

Mine pretty much went away when I went gluten free. I did get glutened last week and I noticed I did get that reaction also. Another one to add to my list. I had asked my doctor about it, I thought it had to do with hot and cold which he gave me an explanation for.

For my husband's case, his body took a beating from the years of misdiagnosis...and the pins and needles started after going gluten-free, but it was probably inevitable. It hasn't gone away & it's been a couple of years and he goes for B12 shots and takes sublingual B12 as well.

I have no explanation for this.

It was my primary symptom, other than GI issues. Mine would get pretty bad, even making regular tasks, walking, or excercise tough to impossible. Mine was frequent.

I saw improvement even before gluten free with taking lots of B12. Since going gluten-free, my symptoms are significantly better. Not 100%, but much, much, much better.

BTW- My understanding is that it's damage done due to nutritional deficiences due to malabsorption. For some, it gets better, but not for everyone.

My history of paresthesia follows that of Geoff. I might add that after I successfully avoided gluten for several months, the parethesia became more sharply defined - particular areas will come and go throughout the day. I attribute this change to my having removed the general body ache and bone pain caused by gluten. I try to keep focused on the bright side - if I stay gluten-free then this is all I have to deal with.

I have been gluten free for a year now, and I still have constant tingling in my feet. Will this get better? Does anyone else still suffer from this after being gluten free?

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
