<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Before I was diagnosed with celiac disease, I was occassionally getting these "strange reactions," which actually went away before my diagnosis (16 months ago). But now they seem to be back. I'm hoping someone out there can tell me if these symptoms sound familiar and whether they are associated with injestion of gluten. The reaction consists of: Feeling VERY warm Shaking VERY badly (getting a cup of water to my lips is difficult) Feeling very thirsty Feeling very weak and somewhat lightheaded These symptoms last for a few minutes (5 to 15). Afterwards, I feel very sluggish and have a lot of trouble concentrating, some trouble talking. These later symptoms last for a few hours at least. Any help, information or advice you can send will be helpful. I have an appointment with my doctor next week, but I doubt that he will be able to immediately figure out what this is. Last time he wanted to send me to a neurologist for these symptoms, but then they went away. Thanks, Debra L. Boutin [log in to unmask]
