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?

      Thank you for the kind words!

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes...

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      Help! My 5 year old daughter just stopped eating dairy and gluten due to her EoE and Celiac. Her favorite candy in the world is tootsie rolls. I did some research, and it sounds like these are the only options for finding something similar, but I can't find them anywhere to actually purchase. Have they been discontinued?? Does anyone have another recommendation...

      I wonder how long it usually takes and if it is dose dependent as well... or if some ppl have a more pronounced reaction to gluten than others thanks again for all the great info

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating gluten daily for weeks beforehand. Many have already gone gluten-free during their pre-screening period, thus their test results end up false negative, leaving them confused and sometimes untreated. It is sad that so few doctors attended your workshops, but it doesn't surprise me. It seems like the protocols for any type of screening should just pop up on their computer screens whenever any type of medical test is ordered, not just for celiac disease--such basic technological solutions could actually educate those in the medical community over time.

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 seem to be more sensitive to minor amounts of gluten exposure than those with just one of those genes and those with only DQ2 seem to be more sensitive than those with only DQ8. But there are probably many factors that influence the damage rate to the villi as well as intensity of reaction to exposure. There is still a lot we don't know. One of the gray areas is in regard to those who are "silent" celiacs, i.e. those who seem to be asymptomatic or whose symptoms are so minor that they don't garner attention. When they get a small exposure (such as happens in cross contamination) and have no symptoms does that equate to no inflammation? We don't necessarily know. The "sensitive" celiac knows without a doubt, however, when they get exposure from cross contamination and the helps them know better what food products to avoid.
