Weird Tickle

Lately one leg or the other from time to time will feel like a fly or bug is crawling on it. When i look down, there's nothing there! It's happening every day but only once in a while.

Am I crazy or does anyone else get this?

My list of symptoms just keeps getting longer and longer the longer I'm gluten-free....

I get that every so often in both legs. I have to get up and walk around and it seems to help. Don't know if it's celiac disease related or not, but it sure is annoying. <_<

There is a medical name for this which has escaped me for right now. Those of us with neurological damage know this feeling well.

it's not just a tickle with me... my entire left leg feels like it's got spiders crawling all over it and then it will go painfully numb for hours at a time. This has been going on for about 6 years now and it's really annoying.

In small "doses", that's actually a perfectly normal feeling. If it's overwhelming and distracting from your normal life in how often it occurs, then it's worth talking to your doctor about neurologic problems.

I get that feeling all the time. Also, I also get another sensation of hot water being flicked on my legs......

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      When I had to go gluten-free, the rest of my family still ate gluten. They still eat regular bread products and crackers, but there are no other gluten-containing foods in the house. I bought a separate toaster that is only used for gluten-free products, and thoroughly cleaned all cookware, dishes and surfaces. We do have to be very careful with cross-contact, for instance when someone else is making a sandwich with wheat bread. Then I went through my cupboards and pantry, I set aside everything else with gluten and gave it away - flour and baking mixes, pasta, etc. So when I cook any recipe that calls for flour (perhaps for thickening) or bread crumbs like Panko, I only use gluten-free.

      How many people also get sick from the following prolamins?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Exactly, everyone with celiac disease technically has an "intolerance" to these: Wheat: The prolamin is called gliadin. Barley: The prolamin is called hordein. Rye: The prolamin is called secalin. Around 9% of celiacs also should avoid oats (but around the time of diagnosis this may be much higher--some will have temporary intolerance): Oats: The prolamin is called avenin. I had to avoid this for 1-2 years after my diagnosis until my gut healed: Corn: The prolamin is called zein. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary...
