A New Symptom?

O, My God!!!!

I had the EEG done on Friday. At first I was ok for about 3 minutes, but then the technician told me to bread deeply in and out for 3 minutes. After a few breeds I felt lightheaded, then I was ok, but the last 30 seconds something happened. I had invalentery movement in my head. It was shaking by itself. It was some kind of tick. I had the EEG done two times before, but nothing like this happened.

What was that? I'm scared. I need to wait for the result until Tuesday, or Wensday. It can be related to the celiac disease, or it's just result from hyperventilating?

Simona19,

I have involuntary brain movement a lot. That is actually one of the symptoms that helped me discover celiac and gluten intolerance. I have not been tested for either, but have begun the gluten free diet to see if it helps. I'm only on my second day of dieting. I started having the brain movements right after my son was born, in July of 2007. I was sitting on the couch watching tv late one night, and all of sudden it felt like my brain jumped in my head. It freaked me out something awful! After that I felt little movements and lightheadedness almost everday for a year. I finally made an appointment with a doctor and he had an MRI done on my brain. They didn't use dye though, which bothered me, but it came back only showing mild thickening of the sinuses. :/ Anyway, I just kind of delt with it, and tried to ignore it. Then last year I developed severe anxiety among other symptoms and antidepressants have not really helped. I've been trying to figure out what my problem is for so long and I came across Celiac and Gluten intolerance. Anxiety is a symptom with a lot of people and I even discovered that some people have the brain movements too. They refer to them as Brain jolts or shocks, etc. I have all the brain fog, recall problems, sleep problems, heartburn/stomach burn, etc. as well. I really do hope that this is my long awaited answer and cure to my problems, especially the anxiety!! Hopefully that was just a one time incident with you...maybe just a freak reaction to the test you were having done. Anyway, I know how annoying and scary that feeling is, but your not alone. Good Luck!

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.

      Weird Symptoms

      By cristiana · Posted

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing  has stepped up a notch since diagnosis.  Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out.  Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes just one, sometimes both.  But it comes and goes.   My sister also suffers now, we are both in our fifties, but she is not a coeliac, so for all I know it could just be an age thing.  I do get occasional stabbing pain in my ears but that has been all my life, and I do appear to be vulnerable to outer ear infections too.  So not a particularly helpful reply here, but I suppose what I am trying to say is it might be related but then again it could just be one of those things.   I think in the UK where I live doctors like you to report if you get tinnitus in just the one ear.  I reported mine but no cause was found.  Most of the time it is nothing but sometimes it can have a cause that can be treated, so perhaps worth reporting to your GP.
