Loss Of Sensation In Fingers

I am being tested for celiac disease because my son was diagnosed 4 months ago with celiac disease & DH. I have so many celiac disease symptoms that I am positive that I am celiac.

I have a problem that I am wondering if it is celiac disease related. I will try to explain. I am a typist and for the last year or so I miss letters when I am typing. I have to check everything I type because I will have lots of erros. (there I did it again for the 3rd time in this post) I know I am hitting the keys but maybe not hard enough. It is not my keyboard because it happens at work & home & even on the phone or fax. I have Osteoarthritis which I thought maybe was the cause. A co-worker suggested that maybe it was a loss of feeling in my fingers so that I am not hitting the keys hard enough. I was diagnosed with mild Carpal Tunnel and do get numbness in hand when holding the phone for a long time, etc.

Does anyone have that problem? Any ideas? Could it be celiac disease related?

With Celiac can come with some neurological symptoms. It was difficult to type also and my fingers would be all over the keyboard. Some B-12 and some folic acid seemed to help.

I would think that it's a deficiency of some kind. I would suggest a full metobolic panel to see where you may need suppliments.

HI

HAPPY TO SEE THIS POST

I get this also and my Dr just ordered these tests done and a metabolic panel. I mainly have no feeling on the tips of my right finger tips. Just thought it was from typing so much. Kinda like i have callouses on the ends of my fingers.

thanks ladies.

The numbness and tingling was definately an issue for me. I even had carpal tunnel surgery but after diagnosis realized that it was actually parathesias. For me the numbness progressed from just feet and hands to legs and bowel and bladder issues. This actually took a very, very long time as I had nerve issues from childhood. B12 was quite helpful although the diet was what really got rid of the issue.

Yes, I did have similar issues with my hands and fingers. Thankfully they seem to be resolved, after starting with magnesium and a sublingual methylcobalamin (B12) supplement.

Something tells me "carpel tunnel syndrome" is just as bad a diagnosis as IBS <_<

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      A lot of people erroneously think soy is a problem for people needing to be on a gluten-free diet. Trents' comment above speaks to some celiacs also having a sensitivity to soy, but this is just some of them. However, soy sauce is something anyone following a gluten-free diet should be wary of. Many soy sauces contain wheat, which is where the soy/gluten...

      I have many of those same CMP irregularities from time to time, with the exception that my potassium is always normal. What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part....

      Not sure what you mean by "soy being like gluten". Soy does not cause a celiac reaction. However, soy is one of the foods that many celiacs don't tolerate well for other reasons. Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one...

Trents' comment above speaks to some celiacs also having a sensitivity to soy, but this is just some of them.  However, soy sauce is something anyone following a gluten-free diet should be wary of. Many soy sauces contain wheat, which is where the soy/gluten confusion comes into play. There is gluten-free soy sauce available, just read labels to be sure. I use San-J Tamari, which is gluten-free but does contain soy, in place of regular soy sauce.

What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part. It depends on the particular parameter (some are more important than others) and it depends on how far out of range it is. Docs also look for trends over time as opposed to isolated snapshots of this or that being out of spec at any given time. Our body chemistry is a dynamic entity.

Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one of them or all of them. It just means it's common. You may not have a problem with soy at all. Celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune response to the ingestion of gluten that creates inflammation in the small bowel lining that, over time, damages that lining.
