Well, numbness in my hands is/are back. Ugh, i don't know what i did, but i think i got into something i shouldn't have. I think it was the bacon grandma made this morning :(

After going gluten free it went away, now its back.... grrrr....

Do you guys know of anyway i could make it go away quicker? Its not hurting me or anything, just very very annoying. :(

is it your fingertips or your whole hand? is it constant? (like no break over a span of days...)

Its in part of my hands, mostly my pinky finger and the one next to it (on both hands). It started about 3 or so hours ago and is just now starting to let up (meaning that it isn't as bad as it was before but its still there).

I get that when my magnesium levels are low. I take Calm at night before bed when it happens and for a few days and it usually will clear it up.

Its almost gone now. Huh. That was weird. Before going gluten free it did it pretty much nonstop for several days on end.

I'm willing to say that the numbness and tingling in my right arm/ hand is the symptom that i've had the most improvement with being gluten free. and it is one of the more startling ones. I had it for years.

when i get glutened, it does'nt come back as strong as the achy hip, the mood problems, the DH (skin), the gut pain, the loss of balance,ect... ect... ect... either.

Odd that you should post this. I've just discovered that I'm almost certainly Celiac and had some big scary neurological symptoms which for a while were thought to be Multiple Sclerosis. I'm all clear on that front thankfully. The one symptom that always comes back if I accidentally eat gluten is numbness, tingling and burning down my right side. Used to be mainly in my leg, down my right pinky and in the back of my right eye ( it actually at it's worst caused nystagmus - an involuntary vibration of that eye ).

I've just this last couple of days, felt it return. My leg is burning and so is the top of my foot. Like you it's not *really* bothering me because I'm used to it, but I can't for the life of me think what triggered it as I've been in good form for a while now. I've had two new things in my diet this weekend - gluten free beer ( please don't let it be that! ) and I've been perfecting the ideal gluten-free cheese scone. The only thing I can think of is the cheese in the scone, I used goat's milk for the dough ( which I'm fine with normally ) but I did use cow's milk cheddar.

I think that's the worst thing now, I don't really know what other foods I need to avoid until I heal up properly. I seem to fall foul of something or other on a monthly basis. Generally only takes a few days to clear up though. Oh well, back to the water, green tea and fruit :)

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
