is a kinda tingling sensation in my legs. Still never diagnosed with celiac but carry DQ8 and had elevated stool antibodies. could the tingling be a symptom of celiac? could it also be a symptom of non-celiac gluten intolerance?

Where in your legs?

I detect whether or not I've been minimally glutened by the tingling/tightening sensation I get just above one of my knees. That is the most sensitive symptom for me. Sounds like it could very well could be a symptom for you, but there is no way to know unless you go for the diet (I'm guessing you have not?) and see whether or not that symptoms fades. It could also be related to vitamin deficiency, which could result from malabsorption related to gluten. Elevated antibodies tell me that there is a high chance it could be related to gluten, with all the nerve damage that gluten is capable of. Goodluck and best wishes

All throughout my legs and sometimes my arms too..usually its subtle and i often wonder if it could also be psychosomatic to a certain extent. I have been on the diet but i do eat out a lot and even though im always careful its not fullproof and im sure i get exposed to trace amts of gluten on occasion. I decided to not live in a bubble and make my own food all the time cause thats just not who I am, so I just do the best i can and try to pick restaurants that are safe for people who need to be gluten-free

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
