Anyone also have MS?

 I’ve been gluten free now for eight years. I have had two separate biopsies confirming celiac disease. I’ve had scopes since diagnosis that showed regrowth of microvilli. The diet has worked and I gained back all the weight that I lost before diagnosis.

 Lately, I’ve had some alarming symptoms. I’m having trouble making certain expressions with my face, I have a very hard time finding words or pronouncing words. I’ve had loss of feeling in my hands And numbness in tingling. I also get strangled very easily when I’m drinking or eating. I’m experiencing a trimmer in my right hand particularly although I’ve never had a very steady hand.

The doctor checked all my vitamins etc. and put me on vitamin D months ago, but other than that everything has been fine as far as blood work.

I have not changed anything. Just wondering if any of you have experience this and if you found out what caused it.

I don't have MS but I have a similar disease. I know it's really frightening to suddenly have these sort of symptoms but the good thing is is that with MS if you find you have it or something similar, there are a lot more options and research available than what once was. So even if you have it, it dosn't mean that you have to live a life not worth living. There are options! Especially if you are willing to change up your lifestyle habits.

that being said, have you gone over your test results yourself? Perhaps  you are having a sneakier form of vitamin deficiency. Specifically with B12. I hope you are able to find a good resolution for this!

      @RMJ@Scott Adams@knitty kitty, Thank you for all of your responses, tips, and suggestions. I'm very grateful that this website exists. It makes me feel a lot less alone in my celiac journey!  The endocrinologist had me do a neck ultrasound just to be safe. Thankfully, thyroid and lymph nodes came back normal. knitty kitty, my Vitamin D is on the higher end of normal, but I will definitely consider the dentist route next time I have my checkup if I'm still noticing issues. Thank you! Scott, thanks for suggesting the ENT. I may consider seeing one if things don't resolve on their own. I am thankfully feeling a bit better now, so hopefully, this is just some sort of residual celiac inflammation like you mentioned, Scott. After all of the numerous tests and clinical visits I've had all year, I'm going to give my body (and wallet) a break for a few months to rest and heal without the stress of doctor appts/labwork and whatnot. Perhaps the health anxiety is also contributing to some of my symptoms.  Thank you once again for sharing your stories.

      Using a pressure cooker will break down Lectins.  Long cooking times as in using a crock pot will also reduce Lectin content.   However, having tried both, going lectin free for a few weeks is like a vacation for my digestive system.  I do hope you give the AIP diet a try.  I understand that changing ones diet takes a lot of mental readjustment which is difficult, but it's really worth the effort for long-term health.   P.S.  Once your digestive tract is healed up, you should be able to add beans and rice back into your diet gradually.

      Depending on which source you research sprouting or fermentation can reduce lectins. I sprout rice, buckwheat and quinoa. However, I admit that gas and intestinal inflammation still plague me after 5 1/2 mo gluten-free. I have been resisting but I may try the aip diet at some point.

      Hi @jadeceoliacuk I am a UK based coeliac and I have used a private nutritionist a few times. She is very highly qualified and having just googled her details, she is listed on this website (see link).  For that reason, I think you could trust the listings here as I am quite sure she would not want to associate with this website unless it was a professional, trustworthy resource. https://www.nutritionist-resource.org.uk/ I hope this helps.
