Shaking/Tremors and Off Balance

I have about one more week to go on the gluten challenge; I’ve been noticing some odd things and am wondering if they are gluten related— chest pain, extreme sleepiness and yawning, feeling off balance and feeling like I’m walking sideways or something,  tremors and feeling like my insides are shaking. Ive noticed being forgetful and struggling to find words but I’ve also been stuttering some which is not something I ever do

Hi @Ginger38

Well done on your challenge... nearly there.

I noticed odd shaking in my voice - I recall my voice sounded shaky - it was really weird.  Feeling off balance is something that people have posted about a lot to do with gluten exposure.  Ditto forgetfulness and struggling to find words.  Gluten assaults the system in many, many ways.

Once you are able to go gluten free, I expect you should see a gradual improvement, esp. if these are new symptoms to you.

What is the chest pain like - have you had it checked out?

It's always best to get any chest pains checked out by your doctor, but as @cristiana mentioned, the other symptoms do sound like they could be related to the gluten, and the chest pains may be as well, but it's always a good idea to mention this to your doctor.

Thanks for the encouragement, I am honestly ready to give up! It is majorly interfering with my ability to function and work. Feeling off balance and having this sleepiness and the shakes is the worst!! The chest pain just comes and goes , nothing too concerning, I have noticed it before with gluten exposure. I have a cardiologist as well so it’s  nothing to be concerned about cardiac wise. Might just be gas pains 😐

I've had to be checked out twice by cardiology at what we call in the UK 'Accident and Emergency' with chest pains the conclusion was reflux and  costochondritis.  Both are very bad when I've been glutened. I've also had very bad bloating in my  upper back when taking iron.  I'm glad you are being looked after by a cardiologist, though, as best to be safe than sorry.

I have had a lot of reflux since starting the gluten challenge. My GI gave me some meds to take to hopefully help a little while on the gluten challenge

The reflux according to the hospital can be the culprit.  I think sometimes, too, the medication that they gave me to stop it caused bloating which again  added to the pain in the back and chest.  I hope you get some answers soon, let us know how the results go.

      Bodywide muscle weakness/fatigue

      By BNGed8 · Posted

      I had a full panel ran almost 2 years ago by my Rheumatologist to rule out any other autoimmune issues that she would be dealing with. They all came back negative except a weak Sjogrens marker but she told me it was nothing to worry about as I did not present most symptoms for it. I do have a script to get them all done again which I will be scheduling soon. The last week I have been experiencing what could possibly be gluten exposure? I have definitely experienced these symptoms before but not all together & for a week straight. I have what feels like a constant pressure headache above my eyebrows & unable to concentrate on much without feeling nauseous. The pressure headache & eye issues have been nonstop even after sleeping. I also have sensitive spots on my skin that kind of feel like a burning sensation when touched, it tends to move around every other day. The reason I feel like it could be gluten related is because I also have been experiencing severe itching around my anus (sorry to be blunt). I saw my primary who couldn't think of a diagnosis so ordered blood work to check for deficiencies. I have not experienced this feeling for over a week straight or to this magnitude, anyone have any insight on this?

      Hello @Julianne101,      It seems you are doing well at avoiding gluten.  Well done. The most important thing I have to say is that whether or not the NP is right about the diarrhea not being gluten related, and it seems like you self-diagnosed, maybe even against medical advice, I hope you will continue GFD regardless. You don't need a letter from the governer saying you are sick, and those tests from the doctors saying you are healthy, nothing wrong; just don't seem to be working.🤪 Can you share the probiotic you took?  I might want to avoid that one.  Mostly I get lactobacillus from homemade salt fermented pickles, it got rid of an episode of lactose intolerance I started having not long ago. Yogourt has good probiotics. Beneficial Effects of Yoghurts and Probiotic Fermented Milks; Naturally Fermented Pickles [The Complete Guide]. The key is for eosinophils to do their job and then go away. That is the jop of Vitamin D.  Vitamin D deficiency is associated with higher blood eosinophil counts. Vitamin D concentrations below 20 ng/mL are linked to a significant increase in blood eosinophils.  I think you, along with over 40% of the industrialized nation's populations, have long term Vitamin D deficiency.  Our body's naturally upper limit is around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml). In addition, Celiac Disease disrupts vitamin D absorption, increasing the severity of the deficit.          Vitamin D Toxicity   "Between 2000 and 2005, the annual mean of vitamin D toxicity cases was 196."          Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought For the diarrhea,  Low choline intake (eggs, meat) can cause gallbladder issues, poor fat digestion.  Floaty stools and tow Thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal BeriBeri.  Both would vary with your diet and would come and go.
