Wondering If This Could Be A Neurologic Symptom

My eight year old has been having episodes of fast motion feelings (everything around her moving super fast) or her hands feeling very large, puffy and even heavy. It seems to happen in the mornings mostly and only about once a week lasting about 1 to 5 minutes. We have taken her to her pediatrician who says he has heard of this before but it one of those unexplained things that we should not worry about. My daughter will start crying because she doesn't like when this happens and I'm try to do some reasearch on my own to see if maybe it has to do with her diet. Has any one had these experiences as a child? I typed in fast forward feelings and did come across a chat discussing the exact same thing my daughter has experienced but no one has a reason as to why and it appears to go away as the person has gotten older. She also complains that her stomach aches after she eats some times and often doesn't want to get involved in after school activities because she says she is tired. She also had a huge issue with cavaties this past year and had to have eight fillings. We couldn't believe it. It's like her teeth are very pitted or soft.

Kind of fell in to the idea that she might have a gluten problem as I did a cleanse type thing with the gym I attend where I was eating very cleanly for 10 days. After that I started feeling all bloated again and am wondering if I myself have an issue with wheat and I started looking into it. Now wondering if my daughter actually is having symptoms from gluten.

Any feedback would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Neuro symptoms could be. They are very difficult for an adult to describe, let alone an 8 year old. I would describe celiac neuro symptoms as just not feeling with it; your nerves don't accurately respond to stimuli around you; would be felt most acutely in a busy setting where all your senses were activated at once. Thus, you see how everything around you would feel like it was moving too quickly if you couldn't keep up.

wow... I am blown away! I have just recently discovered every symptom I've had my whole life fits into the Celiacs Disease. Had my blood work done on Thursday, I should know by Tuesday for sure. But I don't need blood work to tell me I have this I've never been so sure of anything in my life. I am a 22 year old female and when I was about 10 or so, these " fast forward" feelings you describe terrified me when I was younger. Normally they occurred in the middle of the night, mostly when I would wake up from a nightmare. I was pace around my hallway to this really fast "rhythm" I would describe it sometimes it would take my a while to shake it and now that I'm older I have grown use to it, so I'll do my business in the middle of the night with "fast forward" movements and then go back to sleep. I share the same symptoms you daughter does. I hope that this information has helped.

Best of Luck

I can't believe this. It's so nice to hear that someone else has experienced what my daughter is. Could you please let us know how your tests turn out. Very grateful for your reply. This is really confirming that I am on the right track here. Thanks

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese. Sulfites cause a high histamine release. High histamine levels are found in migraine. Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet,...

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
