You could try tightening your lips and holding them as long as you can to see if you can tire out the muscle. May not help, but you could watch yourself in the mirror as you do it and maybe get a good giggle.

Before I went gluten free, my eye lids use to twitch.

You may need magnesium and B12. Mag relaxes the muscles and, for me, B12 helped more the nerve symptoms. Also I started to have a problem with coffee. It was causing tremors in my tongue, spreading to my jaw. It wasn't the caffeine, I have more of that now than I did then. It's something (?) in the coffee.

These things can also happen when we're tired or under a lot of stress.

Hi Kaki

Yes i think this maybe a symptom of celiac.. I also get weird sensations like tingling and twitching allover my face,right eye and ears..i also had twitching on the right side of my neck and this gotten alot worse since going gluten free but i believe that this is a sign that the damage nerves are starting to heal..

Hope your symptoms improve soon :)

I didn't have the twitching when glutened, but started getting it after going gluten-free. However, it's been almost 2 months now since I went gluten-free, and the twitching is far far reduced over what it was before. In fact, it's like 80% gone. It comes from time to time in a mild form, as a mild irritant but nothing worse. Going only from my own experience so far (and I do recommend asking other people or reading about what others had experienced with twitching, as it's apparently a common symptom of either gluten intolerance or gluten withdrawal), I think your twitching might get better over time. How much time? I don't know, but it may depend on how long you'd have gluten intolerance symptoms before you went gluten-free (i.e. how much damage needs to be repaired). I'm lucky; I only had celiac symptoms for around 5 months before I discovered the problem on my own and went gluten-free, so my recovery time may be quicker than many other people's.

I wish you luck.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
