Out Of Body Sensation

Hello everyone,

Is there a vitamin or something of that nature that would explain an out of body sensation? This is during awake time not associated with sleeping.

Thanks RA

Can you explain more fully what you are experiencing? What supplements are you taking? Are you on any script meds?

Depending on how you define 'out of body' I get a certain amount of this when glutened.

It's not like the TV/film 'experience' so much as a feeling I am watching myself and steering by a remote control with flaky batteries!

I often say things I don't mean, or more accurately things I do mean but shouldn't say ... and I know I shouldn't and try and stop myself but I just don't respond ...

When in this state, especially within group I often feel like I am almost sitting beside myself and almost watching myself.

Hope that helps?

I had that before gluten-free until I started getting b12 shots. I still get it as a precursor to a migraine.

Thank you everyone.

My son says he has been experiencing this since age 8. Most recently at dinner yesterday. He felt that he watched himself get up and leave the table. He does not want to believe that gluten is causing this.

I will share your answers with him and ask him to begin taking B12 if it is available to him.

I think my biggest gluten-ing symptom falls somewhere between this "out of body" sensation and brain fog. It is like I cannot control my normal functions. It was the worst when I started work this fall and would go to business meetings and nearly FALL ASLEEP or barely form coherent sentences (at least that's what it felt like to me!)

So far on gluten-free I haven't gotten this as badly as when I was still on gluten. Of course I've been CC'ed here and there, but cutting out major gluten items has made a world of a difference. I assume you are already gluten-free though since you are asking about vitamins.

Good Luck!

Yes, I'm gluten free, my son was diagnosed last summer but refuses to follow a gluten free diet. So when he tells me these things I say, "Stop eating gluten" He says nope and I look for some other answer. But it always comes back to gluten. He's 18 and doesn't live at home so........

That is what would happen to me when I would get very severe gluten induced brain fog. I haven't had any brain fog out-of-body experiences since quitting gluten. Some of the brain fog episodes were truly terrifying, especially while driving. It is a miracle that I didn't kill anybody.

I had that frequently before I was diagnosed. I never knew when to expect it. I just remember the worst incident being when I couldn't wake myself up. It was really creepy. Kept looking at the clock screaming for help. My body wouldn't move yet I felt like I was moving. Not something I care to have occur again. Maybe a deficiency? Is he under a lot of stress? Maybe need to have some bloodwork checked?

Possibly caused by something called wishful thinking. What was for dinner? Brussel sprouts and liver?

Please excuse me! just trying to lighten things up! Sounds strange to me, but i believe gluten can cause nearly any and every condition known to man.

OptimisticMom42 Hello! I am new here myself and not sure quite how to navigate yet. lol Have suffered all my life and just now getting the MD and Rheumatologist to send me to the Gastrointerologist. He wants to do a endoscopy even though he said my blood work indicates celiac.

I was told that if we eat gluten when we are gluten intolerant that it can cause Osteoporosis, and other autoimmune diseases also. Don't know if that is correct but I do not want Osteoporosis. Have to quit being in denial and learn to eat right. Much better to be well and eat right. I hope your son decides to eat healthy. sueward

Yes, Sue, the part about causing osteoporosis is true. I have confirmed osteopenia due to not absorbing calcium caused by damaged intestines. I have not had a recent bone scan, but hope that things have improved since being gluten-free. :rolleyes:

      Thank you for your reply. I’m beginning to think of iodine as another culprit in this, as much as I fear it. I will say my rash is extreme and diffuse - it’s everywhere! I first had it on both sides of my neck in the summer of 2023. My PCP and dermatologist at the time, thought it was a reaction to jewelry I was wearing, even though I had been wearing the same necklaces for literally years with no reaction. The dermatologist at the time repeated over and over again that “allergies are acquired.” Which I knew. But I was not reacting to any other jewelry I was wearing. So it didn’t make any sense to me that it would only be from my necklaces. Anyway, it abated on it’s own. Only to come back with a vengeance months later - and I had not worn any necklaces at all. And the rash involved more area. I was put on Prednisone (oral steroid) taper and it worked well, and the itch and eventually the rash went away. Another trip to a different dermatologist at that time, prior to starting the Prednisone, told me to change all of my hygiene products like soap and shampoo, and to slather on Vaseline. None of which worked, hence the Prednisone. Needless to say, the itch and subsequent rash returned - and now spread everywhere, not just the hollows on both sides of my neck. It’s there, on my upper chest and left breast, both upper arms front and back, and elbows, my entire back, down both of my hips and buttocks and the front of my right thigh. Now the back of that right thigh is starting to itch as well. Also my lower right forearm and middle knuckle on my left hand since going gluten free. I’m just itching everywhere all the time. It keeps me awake, or wakes me up when I do fall asleep. I’m trying my best not to scratch, but it’s nearly impossible! I’ve been using a dry washcloth to rub instead of scratching. And I have used cool wet washcloths which help, but only lasts for a few minutes before starting up again. I’m pretty much at my wit’s end. Just waiting for something to indicate what’s really going on so I can do SOMETHING to stop it!

However, as a new member to dermatitis herpetiformis, I have been reading and researching everything I can about it in order to educate and help myself. I was hoping that the oral Dapsone would help to alleviate the itching. I knew the rash would take longer to abate. Instead of relief from the Dapsone, I had adverse reactions so had to stop it. After 2 months on it, if hadn’t helped with the itching at all, and I understand it usually helps in the first few days if it’s going to. My itch and rash actually got worse on the Dapsone and with going gluten free - which lead me to question whether I was getting glutined from other products I am using. It’s like a huge puzzle trying to put all these pieces together to somehow make it fit and make sense. Right now, myself and my doctor are perplexed.
