Tingling Hand After Gluten?

I've only been gluten-free a few weeks. I have a laundry list of gluten-related symptoms. One has bothered me because I can't find any info on it. My right hand tingles (from mid-forearm on down) about 20 minutes after I've eaten something contaminated. My gp thinks I'm imagining it. It's been going on for months, but with all my other symptoms, I just put it at the bottom of the priority list, and I only recently realized it was only after meals with gluten.

Any idea what exactly is happening? Should I be concerned about long term effects? (like what?) Google hasn't helped much except to say this does sometimes happen. I'm hoping you've got some more insights.

i get that as well (along with the burning from h***).

As far as i know, it doesn't do long term damage.

If I get glutened, my left leg tingles for 24 hours at least. My gluten symptoms are neurological, so so far my first symptom is jitteriness the first day followed by the tingling the next. Then a few days or so of jitteriness, irritability, brain fog, anxiety, tingling. I don't know about long term damage. I've been dealing with tingling problems for 2 years and have only known about the celiac for a short time.

See Hadjivassiliou, Gluten Intolerance as a Neurological Illness.

Would hate to see what else your GP thinks people are "imagining," as this is a classic symptom for some of us.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Nicbent35 · Posted

      Wow she was just playing with play dough yesterday and I actually thought i wonder if I have to worry about play dough! But no meltdowns yesterday. Is your daughter celiac or just gluten sensitive/intolerant? Your son still had to go on Ritalin after going gluten free?

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By growlinhard1 · Posted

      I had the endoscopy with biopsy done. I have gastritis and duodenitis at this point. The biopsy should provide the cause of the inflammation findings. How common are these findings when Celiac is the ultimate culprit?

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @cookiesyum, I lasted on staton for about a month before getting so weak I had to stop.   Switched to Nicotinic Acid and I posted the results in a previous post.  Instead of getting sicker and weaker on the statin I feel I am improving day by day.  Nicotinic Acid was first used for cholesterol in 1955.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      According to research, consuming gluten can potentially trigger sudden mood swings and increased irritability in children, particularly those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, making them more likely to have tantrums or display behavioral issues; this is because gluten can trigger an immune response in the body, potentially impacting brain function and neurotransmitter levels.  When my son was diagnosed in 1976 when he was weaned his doctor told us that at 5 years old his kindergarden teacher would beg us to put him on Ritalin.  And so it did happen.  My son was on Ritalin though high school.  In the morning he was a devil who could not put on his socks. Half an hour after the morning dose he was an angel wanting to help mom get ready.  Talk about Jekyll and Hyde! Dr Danel Amen could be a good resource for you.

      Yes, it certainly can! My daughter has a reaction from just playing with Playdough. She doesn't get GI symptoms at first, just psychological mostly. It can get really bad. It's like night/day behavior. My daughter is eight, but started showing signs around 6.
