Ataxia- Balance Disturbance

Recommended Posts

My off balance issue and little hair-like feelings trailing on my skin are the last of my symptoms to remain after going on a gluten-free diet. Has anyone had any success in getting balance back by using any supplements? Or does it just take awhile being gluten-free to get balance back. I have tried genger tabs and they are doing nothing. I read this is a result of nerve damage. Is there a way to repair the nerves other than time?

You might take a look at this website, which lists the symptoms of nutritional deficiencies. I see that manganese deficiency can cause ataxia. Here's the link:

Gluten free ,Soy free and time did it for me. The healing was slow but steady.

Along with being very strict with the diet I found sublingual B12 seemed to be helpful. A referral to a physical therapist can also be helpful in retraining your brain and body to improve your balance. It does sometimes take a long time to heal so hang in there.

      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.

      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.
