The more I read this forum the more I'm starting to wonder. I have now also read a few post's that say tremors/seizures are a symptoms of Celiac.

Besides all the basics: Diarrhea, Constipatoin, Ribbon Stool, Bloating, Gas (Foul), Fatigue, Anxiety, Irritability, Brain Fog, Odd Pains.

I also noticed that over the past few years, I would wake up at night or in the morning with my whole body tremoring or shaking. I am wondering if anyone had ever had this happen before. I am hypothyroid but before diagnosis I thought I was diabetic.

For me the trembling was a constant for a few years before diagnosis. One idiot doctor even thought I was an alcoholic because of it. I wasn't.

Well there has to be something going on. My dad and his mom were Type 2 Diabetics,mom's dad was Type 2 who turned type 1, Mom and Both her Parents were Hypothyroid. I have an aunt with Lupus. So as you can see Autoimmune Disorders are definetely common in my family.

I was waking up in the night thinking that my bed was shaking(not sure if that is the same feeling you had), but it took me a while to realize that it was me shaking. My blood tests came back neg for celiac, however, I have continued with gluten free and it has not happened again. many other things have improved as well. So I now think that I am non celiac gluten intolerant.

Yes, its not like a painful feeling. Just that you can't stop shaking. Very fast shakes. Then when you sit up you realize its not the bed but your whole body. It can really scare ya. I can tell you that much. From what I've been reading on here, the blood tests aren't always acurate.

Celiac disease can cause damage to the small intestine causing ma;l-absorption of nutrients. Lack of certain vitamins can do nasty things to a body. Nerve damage is one of them. Some people take b-vitamins, especially b-12 to help with nerve problems. There are also other vitamins that you could be low on. Doctors can have your blood tested for vitamin deficiencies. Not a bad thing to do.

I know I was tested for B-12 and I believe Folate, both of which were good. Only that came up odd on my last blood test was my MCHC .2 (32.9) below the range. Everything else was smack dab in the middle of the range.

Be aware that if you are taking a vitamin with folate that can cause the B12 to read higher than it really is. B12 is a water soluable vitamin so it is very hard to take too much. You might want to try a sublingual B12 for a bit and see if it makes a difference in the nerve issues.

I was also accused of being alcoholic due to temors and shaking.

I don't drink at all. When I said that, they thought I was lying and I got the lecture anyway. :blink:

It has all subsided on going gluten free but it took a while.

      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.

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

      By Ryangf · Posted

      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…

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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

      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.
