What The Heck? I Am So Clumsy Now!

I have been gluten free for about two weeks strictly and I feel better and worse I guess. Or different anyway. I haven't had any running to the bathroom episodes which is a definate plus! I have had some gas here and there and one day of horrible nausea and stuck burps, but chances are I got glutened somewhere along the line. I need to learn to keep my fingers out of my mouth! My main concern though is that I am even more "foggy" than before. Not neccessarily in the memory department which has always been a problem, but more with balance. Last couple days I have been running into everything. I mean I ran into the door jamb walking down the hall. I have bruises all over my thighs from running into stuff. It's like my depth perception is off. Do you think it could be just that I am tired from adjusting to the new diet. Something to do with carbs maybe? Why am I such a klutz? :huh:

I have had neurological symptoms for a long time. I have been gluten free for over 5 months now and still only have one or two days here and there without balance problems, facial and limb numbness. I was thinking it was accidental glutening, which it may have been, but there is alot of the time I am sure I have not come into contact with it. From what I have researched, it takes time for it to go away. Did you have problems with this before going gluten free?

I did read here on the forum the other day that one persons neurologist said that when gluten is taken away, the body does react neurologically as well as the other things and to be patient.

I have considered padding the walls and floor at times! LOL!

I have also read so much about gluten "ataxia" I could write a book. (this is what I have)

Many people that are "gluten sensitive" rather than "celiac" are more prone to neurological problems. And yes, it does affect the eyes very much so. I have the depth perception problems along with eye twitching in the eye balls and other visual disturbances. I hate it. It all combined makes me feel like I am going to fall or pass out at any given time. It is very hard to work that way.

I just expected it all to go away over night when I went gluten free. I am having a hard time waiting it out without getting discouraged and constantly checking things to see if I have slipped. I totally understand the clumsiness! Hang in there.

There are some supplements which can really help. Vitamin B12, magnesium, B-complex, omega-3s, and probably a few other things. I'd highly recommend a sublingual methylcobalamin for the B12, and magnesium citrate is said to be fairly effectively absorbed too.

Also, there can be other things to which your body is reacting, now that gluten is out of the way. You may want to look into the top allergens, including dairy, soy, corn, nuts, etc.

Hi. :)

I too was clumsy, walking into walls, etc. and Vitamin B12 shots and the methycobalamin really helped.

I am taking magnesium, Non Flushing Niacin, 60 mcg vit. B 12, vitamin D, Flax Oil and a multi vitamin and enzymes for digestion. I haven't eaten soy in years (allergic) and recently gave up all other grains except rice. I have been allergic to some legumes for years and now have cross-reactivity with all legumes, so gave them all up. I did not show a dairy problem with the test and have limited night shades. Not too much left to go. I eat extremly healthy now. I just can't seem to kick the problems yet, but I know it takes time. I try to only have a potato once a week. I even gave up all the flour mixes due to the starches! Basically, the only mix I use is Pamela's Pancake mix for pancakes, cookies and cakes. I use only sugar made from cane and not much of it.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
