Hi there! Just wondering if anyone else who is celiac experiences this strange symptom? 

The feeling of water drops trickling on skin (mostly on legs)
Burning sensations of skin

drops of acid on skin

???

I'm celiac and have been feeling these symptoms. Every time I google it, it comes up with MS or spinal nerve related stuff. Strange...

Ataxia is a common symptom associated with celiac disease, which is nerve damage that can be caused by it. Diabetics also can have this issue, so it would be good for you to discuss your symptoms with your doctor to figure out the cause. I'm had issues like this, and am currently treating it using vitamins & minerals, especially B1 and Magnesium Citrate.

I also have had this. I had had issues with vitamin levels and with back/joint problems. My doctor and I keep a close eye on my vitamins, my sugar levels, and I make sure to get enough sleep and try to keep stress under control. I would suggest having a chat with your doctor and see if he/she will check things. 
 

it is certainly a weird sensation, isn’t it.

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By CeliacPsycho246 · Posted

      I have been experiencing debilitating OCD symptoms for the past two or three years and I'm really interested in getting on medication so that it can stop ruining my life....  I have an appointment with a general doctor December 13th to talk about prescribing medication but I am extremely concerned about gluten content.  What OCD medications  have been confirmed by the manufacturer as gluten free? I would really need a 100 percent guarantee that the medication was gluten free to take it. MY OCD manifests best with the gluten thing. Constantly worrying about if something possibly has gluten. That's one of my issues. So this is like a catch 22...  PLEASE IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME WITH SOME SOLID INFORMATION ABOUT GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATIONS COMMENT BELOW. THANK YOU!

      Are you on acid blocking medication like a proton pump inhibitor or something? I mean for acid reflux.

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      By Brianne03 · Posted

      My daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac; my results are questionable and I have an appointment scheduled to see a GI doctor to further discuss. I have so many odd, ongoing symptoms that could possibly be gluten related, although who really knows!! I am considering going gluten-free whether a Celiac diagnosis is confirmed or not, just to see if there are any improvements with my dermatitis, mouth sores, aching and chronically cold hands, tingling in hands and feet, random joint pains, etc.  What are the advantages vs. disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis? For instance, will it affect life insurance policies, medical insurance rates? What have you personally experienced with or without an official diagnosis? I'm almost afraid there will be more hinderances and hardships if an official diagnosis is given, but maybe I am way off base and missing the positives altogether. We are located in the US. Thank you!

      Thank you all for the reply posts.  Yes, the constipation has abated.  I am not sure whether its due to having changed to a gluten-free diet or not, but I do think that there is a reasonable correlation.  I know that I will get over this eventually, but I am finding it hard not to lament missing all of my favorite foods that contain gluten.  Certainly, my health comes first... I guess I never realized how many things contain some element of wheat.  My sister has been living with celiac disease for most of her life, so I have someone who will share her favorite recipes. The next step for me will be my appointment with a Gastroenterologist for the Celiac Team... I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving!
