Follow diet: Celiac disease requires full adherence to the diet. This can be difficult. Failure to do so can lead to B12 deficiency. Amongst other issues. I suggest you have your serum MMA checked (can detect early B12 deficiency) and consider reviewing your STRICT dietary requirements with a dietician. Good luck...

Multiple Symptoms: These seems to be multiple symptoms that could have various causes. Definitely be evaluated for type one diabetes, as you have an increased risk over population given your celiac. I would seek an evaluation for this, with a history and careful exam to see what is going on! Pay attention to whether you are anxious and breathing fast when you get this tingling, if so could be hyperventilation.

Are you sticking to: a special celiac diet? If so it's important to maintain strict adherence, as you can have systemwide symptoms resulting from the wheat agglutinin getting into your system wreaking havoc systemwide. See your doctor for periodic monitoring and testing is best.

Common symptoms: Celiac disease affects people differently. There are about 300 known symptoms which may occur with variable severity in different people. About 1/3 adults suffer from diarrhea. Tingling and/or numbness in the hands and feet is among the most common symptoms. There is no cure for celiac disease. Eating a gluten-free diet is usually effective in controlling symptoms.
