<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Before I was diagnosed with celiac disease, when I was feeling generally unwell I would eat a bagel or something similar for energy and to settle my stomach. Of course I had no idea I was poisoning myself. But I started getting these strange "attacks." I would get quite light headed, disoriented. I could barely stand. I would also get quite warm. But I would also shake so badly that I could barely take a drink of water. Needless to say these "attacks" scared the living daylights out of me. They are what finally sent me to a doctor. When my doctor heard the symptoms he tried to send me to a neurologist. Luckily my doctor wanted to check out other things first and after about a year, we found celiac disease. I haven't had this type of attack since. Even when I accidentally injest gluten. I think it was the high concentration of the gluten in my body at that time. But these symptoms do sound similar to your. Maybe they're fairly common. Debra Boutin [log in to unmask]
