article in the Telegraph Clumsiness, loss of balance and slurred speech – the hidden signs you may have coeliac disease
It might be an idea to take it with a pinch of salt. Dear James tends to have bees in his bonnet. I notice that the blue bits to click on do not lead you to scientific papers but to an even nuttier telegraph article on the menopause.
NHS warns ‘tingling' sensation could be common condition to see GP over NHS warns ‘tingling' sensation could be common condition to see GP over
I usually take that as an assurance the NHS is doing nothing of the sort. More likely a journalist needed something to fill a space and anything they haven't mentioned lately will do. Funny that in the list of symptoms (sub-category: non-specific symptoms), tingling is second to last. It suggests there might be better indicators of coeliac disease they could highlight instead. I bet GPs are looking forward to a surge of punters whose feet are tingling because it's brass monkeys outside and they haven't had to wear those boots since 2016.
I'm in my 60's and have had ME/CFS forever. As a child my nickname was "Disgustingly healthy". There certainly weren't any issues with allergies or anything allergy related. In the last 5 years Mast cell symptoms that have been reduced by reducing histamines and taking twice daily antihistamines" "Dishpan hands" that aren't related to anything contact Years of loose stools and lately a lot of stomach gurgling and fresh blood. Largely resolved by avoiding gluten. All of these I'd describe as late onset. I'd been eating lots of bread and lots of tomatoes for years without any problems. Now they are definitely an issue. To me, this suggests that my immune system is rebelling or damaged in some way. It would also be an interesting area of research, since figuring out late onset might help understand early onset.
