Tingling In Back

Hello! I'm not sure if this is the right board but I have a question about issues with my back. I have tingling that started in my neck and now it goes further down my spine. It seems to happen when I sit- but it only began a few months ago. There really isn't any pain associated with it, though i can press on or in between a few of my vertabrae and it feels like a small bruise. I've heard that there are a few bone/back problems associated with celiac disease, but I'm not very familiar with them or what I should do about it- if there's anything I can even do about it anyway. I also thought that several years prior to diagnosis that I had a decrease in my height- maybe about one inch. Could it be bone loss or problems with my cartilage? I am only 27 years old. Help anyone? Suggestions?

Oh- and this is my first thread but I've been on here quite frequently since I was diagnosed in May. I have to thank everyone who posts and whoever runs this site as I can't tell you how helpful it's been- especially with the new diet. This place is truly a support, so many thanks to all of you.

Rogue,

I had the back-tingle. It was an almost everyday occurence and it drove me nuts trying to figure it out. All I know is that it went away after I went gluten-free (Not right away) and some healing took place. Now I only get it when I have a Gluten episode.

Best of Luck!

I had a tingling in my back (right under my shoulder blade) for years, and when my celiac disease got worst, it used to feel like a nerve was drawn too tight and might snap. Since it's a tingling, it could be something associated with nerve damage/issues... I'm not really sure. Mine healed after going gluten-free as well, so there is hope. Also, have you seen your doctor about it? It could be something that should get checked out, especially as the tingling is travelling. Good luck!

Quantumsugar, that's exactly what my mother had in recent years. She had had osteoporosis since a girl but I didn't tell her she should check whether to go on a gluten-free regime because I didn't want her to have more hassle with doctors than she did have - that's in the UK of course.

Rogue, there can be both bone & nerve complications and they don't all always seem to resolve very soon after adopting the gluten-free life. Hoping in your case they do so reasonably quickly and you get the support you need, :)

Not in quite some time, but I had that for many years also.

Starvation seriously messes up your bones, joints, nerves, everything.

Hoping to heal my wrists, hips, and knees...

Been gluten-free for 9 weeks, and it's starting to get better... can even tell bone mass has increased. Being younger, you will do fine... you'll heal better than us 'old farts'.

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By cookiesyum · Posted

      The easiest way to remember the difference between the cholesterol types is HDL;   H=healthy equals healthy (omega 3, 7, limit 6 & 9 MCFA'S =Medium Chain Fatty Acids. 3= coconut oil, 7= sunflower oil, avocado. The higher your HDL the healthier you are & less likely to experience strokes, clogged arteries Etc. You can even use cold expeller pressed coconut oil on your skin and that is the best kind of coconut oil to eat as well. You want your HDL much higher than your LDL, it will help you stay healthy.   LDL;    L=Lousy. Meat fats, processed fats.  The higher your LDL is the more likely you will have strokes, clogged artery is, heart disease, fatty liver.   Then there's lipids... they are the culprit to be blamed for many heart attacks and things like that they are very small round particles that transport fats. You can have a low overall cholesterol reading and most of it be healthy cholesterol and have a ton of lipids and there's nothing you can do to change the lipid count. High number of lipids is very dangerous.   I'm going on statins is extremely dangerous if you ask me it's just completely my opinion, because I have seen so many of my elderly friends bleed to death internally because of the statins. I mean you wouldn't take all the oil and grease out of your car or a motorcycle and then try to drive it that way would you? You see that's what statins do they remove all of your bodies fats and it doesn't matter whether it's healthy fats or a lousy fats. It removes all of them and then your body can't function properly. You have to have fats to keep your skin supple and to stay warm. Your body also needs fats to digest & process certain nutrients, amino acids & vitamins.   Your brain is composed of fat so is that something you really want to remove with a pill every morning and night?   The thing about statins is that they also make the blood vessels and capillaries permeable. So this is how my friends who were on cardiac medication for a long time and statins ended up bleeding internally to death.   If you want to make sure that your heart is healthy, take odorless garlic at night and magnesium, vitamin K & calcium.

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      Feel Good gluten free chicken soup dumplings

      By Visionaerie · Posted

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      By ognam · Posted

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info
