<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I am 25 years old and I just found out I have Celiac on Nov 10, 2005. I had bad stomach pains and was taken to the ER. I was anemic, my iron and potassium were both low. I received 2 pints of blood. Since coming home from the hospital my short term memory just is not right. My head feels numb like when you wake up startled. Is this normal or should I be concerned? I moved almost 2 years ago and was never sick so, do not have a primary care doctor. The only doctor I have seen is a GI doctor. He said he has not heard of anyone having the numbness and head aches. Also I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy they put me under anesthesia. Could the anesthesia have caused the numbness in my head? I will take any recommendations. I do not know where to begin. I have been eating Gluten-free to the best of my knowledge since I left the hospital on Nov. 14, 2005.
