Uggh, I know I haven't had anything with gluten but for 2 days now I've been having the D again. I haven't had anything with dairy. I'm thinking I'm reacting to soy too, but hoping I'm not. :(

Anyone else intolerant to soy?

I am. It took me awhile to pinpoint it...I was so happy that I could still have coffee with soy milk, and then the symptoms started. I'm sorry you're not feeling well.

Me too. I didn't do soy milk but ate a lot of stuff with soy after I was diagnosed. It took me a while to figure it out also.

Yes, not fgood stuff unless fermented, in my opinion.

Also look back at anything that might have changed in the last week. Have you tried a new lotion, shampoos or gone out to eat someplace? Are you doing any new craft projects or home remodeling? Could you have picked up a virus or perhaps eaten something that gave you food poisoning? I don't know where you are from but there have been some eggs recalled for salmonella recently in I think the midwest.

I heard about the egg recall, does it apply to organic? We use Phil's eggs. I'll have to check it out.

Nothing new has changed, everything's the same, I'm thinking it's soy.

Couple of ideas. My daughter continued to have stomach issues after going gluten-free and the Dr. said irritable bowel syndrome is common in people with celiac so you might look up IBS triggers and try cutting out some of those foods.

Not sure how old you are but I started taking a natural estrogen supplement and wow, did it upset my system!!

Goodluck and sorry you are having issues.....

YES! Soy is evil. But for me, I can tell the difference between soy and gluten. Gluten means a quick trip to the ladies room, followed by a deep sleep. Followed by no sleep that night, followed by no bathroom for a few days, Ah, the contradictions. Soy gives me high blood pressure, along with stomach pain that feels like toothpicks jabbing through my stomach. That only lasts for a few hours. I avoid both.

I do have IBS and I try to eat grain-free as much as possible. I'm also gluten and dairy-free and I guess try to avoid soy now too. I eat only organic food, non-GMO, I don't eat/use anything w/ food colors, additives or anything artificial. I think I live pretty healthy. :)

      Mark, do you have suggestions as to celiac centers that could be helpful? Oklahoma/Texas neurologists have only offered me the “eat gluten free” advice and then when I ask about the hands or muscle twitching they said they just don’t know. I appreciate your great information on supplements, thank you for your help!  Scott, do you have suggestions as to celiac centers that could be helpful?

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you’ve been through a challenging journey since your celiac diagnosis, especially with the unexpected neurologic symptoms like muscle twitching and hand tremors. While celiac disease is primarily known for gastrointestinal issues, it’s important to recognize that it can also manifest in non-GI ways, including neurological symptoms. Research has shown that celiac disease can sometimes be linked to conditions like gluten ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, or even myoclonus (involuntary muscle twitching), which might explain what you’re experiencing. The fact that your symptoms have fluctuated with dietary changes suggests a possible connection, even if it’s not yet fully understood by your local neurologists. It might be worth seeking out a specialist who has experience with celiac-related neurological issues or consulting with a celiac-focused research center. In the meantime, staying strict with your gluten-free diet is a good step, as even small amounts of gluten can trigger immune responses that may contribute to these symptoms. You’re not alone in this—many with celiac report similar struggles, and connecting with online communities or support groups could provide additional insights and reassurance. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      By Sunshine4 · Posted

      I was initially diagnosed with celiac in June 2024. I had no G.I. issues but got chest and pelvic pain. I changed my diet – although I was not great at watching cross-contamination – and had no problems until the end of October 2024 when I started getting headaches. At the end of December 2024 the headaches ended but I started having twitching throughout my body. Not long-term twitching just a fast burst twitch. In addition, I had tremors start in both of my hands. Sometimes it is stronger in one hand than the other and sometimes it seems to die off and then comes back. This has gone on for two months and the twitching has gradually lessened although sometimes it comes back with a vengeance. I have been really strict about  my diet and cross contamination so I feel these symptoms are related to my celiac disease although I’m not certain and I’m unsure that the strict diet is what has helped. I’ve been tested for everything -  MS, lupus, ALS and a variety of other things which were all negative. I can only relate these symptoms to my celiac but no neurologist in my area seems to know anything about celiac causing anything other than gastric issues. I’m so frustrated and just looking for others that have had similar symptoms and doctors that are more knowledgeable about celiac and neuro issues. Thank you!

      I can't tell yet because it's only been a few days and the issue occurs every 2/3 months!
