I'm not sure. But, based on what I've read, tingling seems to be usually due to nutrient deficiencies. So if that's correct, then I'd think an intolerance alone might not be enough. If Celiac is defined as the auto-immune response, causing damage to the intestines, that's what would lead to the deficiencies.

Typically, the nutrients which seem to be recommended the most for tingling are vitamin B12 and magnesium, B-complex, and vitamin D3. But others which may help are calcium, zinc, potassium, EFAs, and basically anything you can get in a multivitamin/mineral formula. All nutrients seem to work together in one way or another.

tingling in the legs can be caused by all kinds of things. it can be neurologic, physiological (spinal or in the hip or leg), nutritional, etc. the symptom is probably related to a nerve, but the underlying cause can be many things. I would think that a workup with your doctor would be a good idea. (really, what I am getting at, is to rule out spinal issues, like herniated disc compressing the nerves, or hip/pelvic issues like pyriformis syndrome. a regular doc, an ortho, chiro, osteo, whatever you prefer...)

I've discovered that I'm gluten intolerant, even though I am not a Celiac. I don't test positive for the antibodies, but if I eat even a tiny amount of gluten I get sick within 15 minutes. Eating something as simple as a cracker will give me tinging in my legs. Before I knew I was sensitive to gluten, I made the mistake of ordering a sandwich at Panera bread. I chose the 9-grain bread. Soon I noticed a tinging in my legs. Then it showed up in my arms and also my scalp. Soon I was so dizzy I had to lie down. I then had chills too. The mental fog was particularly bad. This lasted a couple of hours.

So for me tingling in my extremities is a sure sign I've encountered gluten. Fortunately I find that it goes away after a couple of hours. And since switching to a gluten free diet I have never had it happen again.

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By Awol cast iron stomach · Posted

      I wanted to say hello, and add that  early in eating gluten free I had  to avoid processed foods due to too many ingredients. I also had additional intolerances that needed time to subside. My team suggested I limit gluten free processed foods, as I was having issues with items with too many ingredients. I see Trents explained some of the culprits when he responded.  I found it helpful to go whole foods  diet. When I need inspiration I found Paleo and AIP (Autoimmune Protocol) recipes helpful to offer variety to my palate.  Often our bodies in the early stages prefer we go whole foods/ minimal processed foods. In turn, I realized I prefer freshly made salad dressing which I still make to this day. My pocketbook also finds making my own has its benefits.    Best wishes.

      A question - eggs & dairy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      As @trents stated the pancreas does not produce lactase enzyme.  Most humans lose the ability to create enough lactase.  Some say milk is only for babies. But, by eating brined fermented foods like dill pickles and sourkraut, the Lactobacillus from these foods set up colonies in your gut and excrete lactase so we can eat dairy.  Most pickles sold in supermarkets are quick pickled, the vinegar gives them the texture and taste, but not the nutritional benefits.  Vinegar's acidity can inhibit or even kill Lactobacillus strains.  They need to be salt fermented.  And antibiotics kill them along with their prescribed target.  I used to make my own.  It takes about 10 days, depending on the sourness and crunchiness you prefer, then store in the fridge.  Bubbies Kosher Dill pickles and Ba-Tampte are the one's my Publix carries in the refrigerate area.  Never both at the same time though.  And there's Katz's Delicatessen in NY will ship.  I loved everything at Katz's. Naturally Fermented Pickles [The Complete Guide] Regarding the fats in milk.  Commercial dairies use additives to the feed to increase milk volume and milkfat.  Unfortunately the fat added are the C:16 fats but not the C:18 healthy fats, giving commercial dairies milk an omega 6:3 ratio of 5:1, inflammatory.  Organic milk's (30% pasture fed) ratio is 3:1 and Grassfed milk is 1:1.  Grass fed (pasture fed) milk in my opinion tastes much better, and is less inflammation.  It tastes so good, like the milk the milkman delivered to us in the fifties.  Another case of how overprocessed our food is today.  Even the 0%Fat Grassmilk tastes good. Only Ireland and New Zealand produce mostly pasture fed milk commercially.

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By trents · Posted

      TTG would refer to a blood antibody test. Not valid if you are already eating gluten free or mostly so. DQH would refer to a genetic test to see if you possess either or both of the two genes that have been connected most strongly to developing active celiac disease. The genetic test is more of a rule out measure than a diagnostic test as about 40% of the general population have one or both of those genes but only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. If you don't have the genes but gluten causes you issues then the conclusion is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. So, the genetic testing helps with a differential diagnosis. I don't know about the 2P. 2 Pairs of genes?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Tell him to get me a case...just kidding! I wonder why they are not labelled gluten-free here in the USA? They don't have gluten ingredients.
