Awesome!!! I'm already learning how to do certain 'special' things so I can be a 'backup' person for when one guy's wife has a baby. Makes me feel good!

That's great!! I'm so happy for you :D

Way to go, Bun-Bun.

No time, except to ask Em and Bevel what makes them think I have hypoglycemia?? :o Not to my knowledge. It's just that my stomach always starts digesting itself if it doesn't have any food to work on, and then all hail breaks loose with the big bloat and stuph :P Don't have any of the classic symptoms when I looked them up :unsure:

If I may butt in here :lol: What a surprise, right? :P

Shroom, I noticed when I was reading about yer reaction the other day that I think what I've been experiencing is closer to what you have. I used to get panic attacks back in the day before I knew about the Celiac, but they have never happened since and those were different. The last few weeks, I have had 3 "occurrences" of pounding heart, sweaty hands and feet, and chills right after. It lasts about 10-15 minutes and then I'm fine, save for being a little wiped out

All 3 times, I have had gluten-free bread and/or white rice beforehand. I first thought about hypoglycemia, but I had blood tests just recently and my sugar is always fine. I wonder though--and for you too--about reactive hypoglycemia. It doesn't show up always in regular testing, but does in an all-day test. Not eating can trigger it, as can alcohol, sugar (or foods that digest as sugar), and caffeine.

I dunno--just thought I'd throw that out there.

I'm also very interested in what Em and Bevvie have to say :D

I think I immediately thought of hypoglycemia after your description of your symptoms, Shroom, because my head always seems to be there - - within the world of blood sugar issues. The classic symptoms of low blood sugar happened to you, if I remember correctly: Shaking, weakness, sweat, dizziness.. .... . . ...and it typically happens when one has gone too long without food. Stomach issues aren't normally present, however, but nausea can be, as can tingling around the lips, general confusion and a hammering heartrate.

Because you had gone so long without food, and were experiencing some of these symtoms.. . .. . well, it seems to be walkin' and talkin' like a duck... . . ..

Is this like the women who live together all have their periods at the same time thing? People who post together all end up with hypoglycemia?

Well, see, I don't get the sweaty hands and feet or the chills, but I am totally wiped out after because it can go on for 3 hours :o Howevah, coming home on an empty stomach and having a cocktail!!! Now that's not good!

hmm. I get the heart pounding thing if I eat too much white rice. Never thought to wonder about it, just figgered I'd stop eating rice. :P

It's not just pounding, it's erratic as hell, stopping and starting, and the pulses in my head are so painful :blink:

Yeah, I unnerstand you live in this world :( but I'm really not keen to go there :unsure: No shaking, weakness, sweat, dizziness. No tingling lips, no confoosion. In fact, it is exactly the same as the way I react after eating the high lectin foods (which give me the bloating)

I'm with Em on this one. Same thing happens to me. Quack.

I'm not quacking yet :ph34r:

Thanks for all your responses. It's just that when I checked all the classic symptoms none of them seemed to be me :blink:

You should be able to. From within the topic, to the left of the page navigation buttons is a blue button with an inverted black triangle. Click it and you will be asked to type a page number. The riotous phun starts at page 1700.

oh.....I see. They's just hiding it <_<

Speaking of classic sillie moments, remember how we pulled off 100 pages in a weekend when Soozle was kween? Leesigh, as I recall, was instrumental in that one :lol:

That's what they've been talkin about, psilly! Page 1700 :P

.....and it was Jan-knit's idea. However, I think I did pull night duty that weekend.

...or the yeti & the care bear :blink::lol:

I think I came on the scene in the middle or towards the end of the yeti and totally missed the care bear :unsure:

Art recap by Lisa

Royalty recaps by Emily

A page or so after that Janet recaps Emily's greetings to potential new Psillies. :lol: :lol:

Jess is giving us recaps of recaps :lol:

Are ya laughin yerself psilly all over again?

When my DD was diagnosed hypoglycemic, I started to realize I may have it too. I get all those symptoms. Now, I've had the tingling around the lips, too, but always thought it must be a food allergy, but never figured it out. I've been sugar free...including grains...for some time now, and have not had the tingling in a long time. Hmmmm.......

Is this like the women who live together all have their periods at the same time thing? People who post together all end up with hypoglycemia?

Quack :rolleyes:

I gotta bond somehow, as the aforementioned no longer visits :P

Went to a gluten free pitch-in today :) The one that Jyan-knit couldn't attend this year :(

I need to thank her for keeping Skeeter away, cuz I got to win a food basket this time! :D

It's beginning to look like it :o

After Mark left, I was doing a lot of things like grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner, leftover rice cooked in milk for breakfast--easy stuff since it was just me. In other words, I was falling back into eating more of the "white carbs" just because of the convenience.

Today, I had no grain at all...or sugar.... made a real dinner. Feel nice and calm :rolleyes: I'm glad we talked about this!

Yep :) Probably not solved, but more like "so far, so good". I've been living in fear for the past few weeks, thinking I was going to have a heart attack or something--and wouldn't have anyone to call. I wonder if this stuff is messing with my brain.....

Should be quite the conversation with our respective bosses on Monday.

So, Emily, how was your weekend? What did you do?

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      By cristiana · Posted

      I'd like to second supplementation.  Around the time of my diagnosis and for a good while afterwards I had twitching muscles, including my face, as well as pins and needles and numbness.  We do have tremors in my family anyway, regardless of being coeliac, so I can't really comment on that. If you can find out where you are with your iron levels and B12, that's a good start.  I am not sure where you are posting from but in the UK normal lab results for B12 are quite a bit lower than in other countries, so you might find if you are borderline you will get some improvement by continuing to supplement that.   I found taking magnesium also incredibly helpful against facial twitches. I don't know about you, but all these symptoms increased my anxiety levels as I was worried about them.  That only served to make the symptoms worse.  So it might be worth looking into addressing any underlying anxiety issues.   I still notice that if I'm nervous, or worried, my blood sugar levels are down, some of the symptoms comes back temporarily.  It's like there is still a bit of a weakness there.

      Hello, @Itsabit, Your journey sounds very similar to mine.   I'm very concerned about your diet since you say you don't eat a lot of meat, which is the main source of B vitamins.  Nutritional deficiencies go along with Celiac Disease.  Blood tests are not accurate measurements of deficiency states.  The body robs stored vitamins from organs to circulate in the bloodstream to supply the brain and heart.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change. I have a hypersensitivity to sulfites, so much so that I had to switch my toothpaste to one that doesn't contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.  SLS can cause oral irritation as a side effect, too.   My mouth would burn and I avoided certain foods.  Dapsone contains sulfites, as do antibiotics.  Treatment with sulfites can precipitate a Thiamine deficiency disorder because sulfites cut thiamine in two making it useless. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35506963/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10506142/ I have an allergy to nickel, also.  Zinc helps keep other metals in balance in the body.  Zinc is also terribly important to skin health and oral health. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8445075/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11274920/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1977254/ Thiamine (Vitamin B 1) deficiency disorder symptoms and altered thiamine metabolism can occur after radiation or chemo.   Thiamine and Niacin B 3 are important in nerve conduction.  When I was very malnourished, I had paresthesia that made me feel itchy all over, and made my dermatitis herpetiformis extremely unbearable.  The form of Niacin that causes flushing, Nicotinic Acid (not the same as nicotine in cigarettes) is beneficial because the flushing helps open the small capillaries in the skin which allows the antibodies to be cleared and disposed.  Pellagra can occur in Celiac Disease.   I had it, and my doctor didn't properly diagnose it, either.   I had a rash around my neck, Casal's Necklace, along with a blistering rash on my arms and any skin exposed to the sun.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8445075/ https://cgp.iiarjournals.org/content/10/4/169 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11722086/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6780714/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10229844/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1977254/ You should be checked for more than just B12 deficiency.  The eight B vitamins work together, and we need more of them when we're trying to heal.  They are water soluble, so the body can easily excrete them if not needed. Have you had your Vitamin D level checked?  Vitamin D regulates the immune system and lowers inflammation.   I hope you can find some benefit from my experiences.  Keep us posted on your progress.   P.S.  When trying not to itch the dermatitis herpetiformis, if you press gently on a large area (press with your whole hand) above the itchy spot, the itchiness goes away.  The bigger area of stimulation drowns out that one jangling dermatitis herpetiformis itchy nerve in the brain. For skin care products, I use tallow balm which is absorbed better into the skin than petroleum products or plant products.  Tallow balm (Vintage Traditions is my favorite) helps my Dermatitis Herpetiformis spots look and feel better quickly.  Tallow soap and olive oil soap is beneficial as well.

      What should I do with these test results?

      Hello, @Jack Common, I know how frustrating health mysteries can be. Perhaps you're having a reaction to the medication you were given for the giardiasis you mentioned in another post. The giardiasis infection would account for the high Igg results.  Have you been reinfected? The site I've linked below has lots of information about the long term consequences of being treated with a medication frequently prescribed for giardiasis infection.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-doctor-denial/ https://hormonesmatter.com/?s=metronidazole https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3870550/ Please let us know if your symptoms may be due to this reaction to the prescription for giardiasis. Best wishes.
