Other Strange Symptoms

I've been reading about symptoms from various places online and have also found I have even MORE symptoms than I thought before..just wondering if anyone else has had these maybe?

1. Dry skin

2. Mouth sores(I have only had one,it lasted about two days and my tongue swelled up)

3.Padding on feet?(I have noticed on the heel of my right foot when I press on it it's very tingly, is this a symptom?)

4. Although I do not really want to eat, I've noticed that I get random cravings for no reason..

5. My stomach also makes very strange noises anytime I eat or drink.

These are just some symptoms I'm not sure about, I've had many others that are much more common than these but I'm wondering if these may also add to that list?

I had 2 and 4. Both are definitely symptoms. My mouth sores ended as soon as I went gluten-free. The random cravings are because your body is not getting the nutrients it needs. In fact, some malnourished people, including those with celiac, eat dirt or soft rocks because of those cravings for certain minerals. I did when I was a kid but I had no idea why.

...and I had 1, 3 and 5. There. That's the whole list.

Number 3 sounds like peripheral neuropathy, which is nerve damage. It can manifest as a numbness, tingling or even electric shock-like shooting pains. It typically attacks feet and hands, thus the "peripheral" name.

I think we probably all had number 5. The "grumblies" I call them. I used to dread being in a meeting after lunch (a whole wheat bread sandwich, of course) and my tummy would be playing a very loud tune for all to hear. Now after being gluten free for months, it's as quiet as a mouse. Quite a relief.

Yes it's quite embarrassing when your stomach decides to have its "grumblies"...

Number 3 isn't so much a numbness or pain, it just feels strange to me..

I'm in a similar situation, recent onset (little over a year) trying to figure out if it's celiac, IBD, etc. I have #3 to an extent. The bottom of my right big toe feels as if there's a layer of padding permanently attached to it when I walk, compared to the sensations of the other digits. Just slightly numb. Oddly, it's only like this in response to pressure, if you touch it in other ways, it feels normal/like the other toes.

Some people experience PN differently and describe it as feeling like you have a sock on your foot when you don't. You can feel your foot, but it's kinda "removed", not a direct sensation. Hard to describe -- does that make sense?

Yes. Thank you that sort of helps me.

Hi Moemoe,

I had the belly rumbles also and bloody noses when I was a kid. I could be sound asleep and wake up with my nose bleeding, reading a book, watching tv. Didn't matter what I was doing my nose would bleed. Sometimes upwards of 3 to 4 times a day, then it might skip a few days. Always was anemic, no matter how much iron they would give me. It made me sick, no matter how much iron or in what form. After 6 months of being gluten free I am no longer anemic after 38 years.

Also had the mouth sores as well as open sores on the top of my head for about 22 years, that would not go away no matter what kind of meds or medical shampoos the dr's gave me. 6 weeks after going gluten free they were gone and they stay gone unless I seriously gluten myself.

Do what testing you need to do, but if they come back negative, which they do about half the time, go gluten free anyway and I bet you will see a world of differnce.

Good luck to you.

Vicky

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
