The Weirdest Thing!

Hi all. So, yes I know this is going to sound flat out weird, but we talk about everything so here goes: for the last two days, I have been getting this very strange sensation that feels like an intermittent internal vibration. It's between my hip bones, so I am thinking it's intestinal in nature.

When I put my hands over that area, I can't feel anything from the outside. What in the heck is this? It's happened about 20 times today. It will "vibrate" off and on for a few minutes, then go away, then come back later. It's the strangest thing.

I am one year gluten free, btw. Thanks!

Janie

PS. I sure do hope this isn't one more thing that makes me extra special :blink:

Yep, you're special. :).

Is it all the way across or in a small area? I'm assuming it's not a baby. :) Is it like a twitchy muscle? I get those sometimes in other places and it usually means I need some potassium. Did you exercise differently or move furniture or something? Pulled muscle is all I can think of. I'm sure others will come up with something more interesting.

Ummm....yeah, I was thinking a baby. Is that possible? They usually do a fluttery thing several times an hour...

Ha, that's funny. No, no baby. It's not like that fluttery feeling, it feels like a pager is going off in my belly. Right smack in the middle, between the pubic bone and belly button. Ooh I just dated myself didn't I? Some here wont know what a pager vibrating feels like :blink: OK so for the younger folk, imagine your cell phone on vibrate.

I always knew I was special :lol:

Haven't done really anything different. Doesn't seem like a pulled muscle. Saturday we went on a 4 hour bike ride, but that's not much longer than usual. The weird feeling started on Sunday.

i've had that before! it could be "trapped" gas, but a 4 hour bike ride can effect nerves and muscles for sure so i'd also think it could just be spasms from that. :)

Oh, phew! Thank you for your reply. Just knowing someone else has had it is a huge relief! There have been more than a few things that I have had that no one else has ever experienced.

No weird vibrations this am so far! Thanks a bunch.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By trents · Posted

      Gluten-like cross reactions to other foods are from the proteins that make them up. Dextrose is the sugar component found in corn.

      I just found out a few days ago that some salt like table salt contains dextrose that’s derived from corn. I’ve been thinking about getting rid of using table salt and just using my own kosher or Himalayan salt, but tbh I’m reluctant to do it. I’ve cut out a lot of things and I don’t really want to cut out anything else that I’m not sure will effect me…in a super small amount that it might be added to salts to stabilize the iodine. I don’t want to be further alienated when I have to go to a restaurant with my friends. Also most of the items at my house that have salt in it canned food etc. are some of the few quick things I can eat- because I’m not the one paying for the food in my household and i can only ask for so much. I’m not in a place financially where I can get a lot of my specialized items- although my family tries their best to get items I Can actually stand. I get I can bring a my own salt with me at a restaurant and ask for no seasoning but it feels like a lot to me- cause I already check for cross contamination and ask if the food has like a high volume of corn in it like cornstarch etc. I’ve also heard most dextrose is not derived from the Zein (corn gluten) portion of it- so it might be safe- but idk if that’s true. I just wanna know if anyone actually responded to it negatively.

      I’m so confused…

      For my first couple of years after discovering my celiac disease I also had to avoid cow's milk/casein and eggs, as well as other things, but could tolerate duck eggs and sheep and goat's milk products. I'm not sure if you've tried those, but it could be worth testing them out.

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!

      Testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, if you had symptoms when eating gluten ruling out celiac disease won't necessarily mean you'll be able to eat gluten again, although it might mean that you may be able to be less strict with your gluten-free diet.
