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 attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
