Ugh I need opinions!!

Apparently I have a b12 deficiency which was discovered after some numbness/tingling in my arms and feet...Ok. So, started taking b12 vitamins and also one a days...yah...have been VERY careful about what I've been eating...for the past 3 weeks I've had weird, celiac sounding but not quite feeling symptoms....literally, EVERY time I eat, no matter WHAT I eat, diarrhea (sorry...true)...once I go, I'm better...but its seriously 3 minutes after I finish a meal, I go, I'm better...besides that, I have had ZERO energy...like literally, sleeping 14 hours on the weekends, spending days in bed, on the couch, zero energy to get up, falling asleep at my desk at work..obviously, no energy b/c I have no food staying in my body!!

But, I haven't eaten ANYTHING bad that I'm aware of and normal celiac symptoms for me go away in about 3 days and this has been 3 weeks...Please...has anyone experienced anything like this or have any ideas? I've been to 4 diff docs (for the b12 symptoms) in the past 2 months and am simply tired of seeing doctors who tell me to take a xanax and move on!!!

I'm sad :( I'm hurting and I need help! Anyone?

Have you confirmed that the vitamin pills are gluten-free? Sometimes they put wheat grass or oat grass in them. It is probably something you are consuming every day that is affecting you. So check everything and if you can't figure it out, start eliminating things.

There is also the possibility of additional food intolerances developing over time. Like any of the top 8 including soy, dairy, etc.

Sounds terrible. I bet it's the vitamins.

From oneaday.com:

Q. How much gluten does this contain?

A. We do not add any gluten to our products. However, we cannot guarantee that all raw materials are 100% gluten-free.

One-A-Day vitamins are junk anyway. They mostly go straight through you because the vitamins are the cheapest sort possible that are poorly bioavailable. May I suggest you buy a good brand like Solgar that will confirm the gluten-free status of their products?

Thanks I have switched to a brand that says specifically "gluten free"...I have also eliminated just about everything from my diet except fresh fruit and veg juice, cottage cheese, and gluten free soups...I feel like I need to heal...I'll give it a few days and slowly add more things back in...

NatureMade brand are all gluten free.

I specifically suggested Solgar because they're Albion Gold Medallion. You know what's in the pill. Not so much with a lot of other brands. Nature Made is a particularly worrisome brand.

Have you confirmed the vegetable juice to be gluten free?

And, soups. What soups? Many Progresso soups that were gluten free last year are no longer safe. And the Health Valley Organic soups - if any list "natural flavors" the company says celiacs should avoid all those.

How about spices? Gluten can often show up in spices as well.

Many celiacs have trouble with dairy (cottage cheese!). A lot of folks on this forum, and some nutritionists, advise that you eliminate any dairy for the first year of your gluten free diet. If you've verified everything else, and are sure you're not getting cross contaminated (using old or shared toaster?), perhaps eliminate cottage for a few days and see if that changes anything.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
