Hi everyone,

My feet and legs fall asleep after I have a bowel movement. Is this weird and something that I should be concerned about?

Skar.

Is it from sitting on the toilet too long?

Actually, I sort of get that too - they get really tingly and, well, tired.
It doesn't matter if I'm on there for 5 seconds, or 10 minutes.
It esp. happens after a glutening and I am shittin' every four seconds!


Our lives, eh?

I haven't noticed it on the toliet, but my arms/feet/legs do seem to fall asleep often, even in positions where they shouldn't, like sleeping (the body's level). But, I have slightly lower blood pressure, so that may be why??

i was going to ask the same question as mysuicidalturtle... are you sittin' on the pot for too long? i have had my legs/butt start to go numb when i've been on there for a while!

I also would agree that it could be from sitting on the toilet too long. It happens to me, too.

That used to happen to me, if I sat on the mode too long. My arms and hands still get numb while driving... while using hand/power tools... etc.

I guess poor circulation is another 'goodie' of Celiac.

My feet and hands fall asleep at strange times too, but I have never associated it with BMs. If they are going totally numb then maybe you have something going on with your spine and a nerve.

My feet and hands do this too. It has become rather annoying, happens the most at night when going to sleep and/or sleeping. At first I thought that I was laying on my arm wrong but it happens when I'm awake as well. I also feel a tingling sensation on the side of my face and head sometimes. It is kidda scary. Anyone else have this feeling?

I never thought about it, but my arms/legs fall asleep easily.

I have some difficulty in the morning and after driving for an hour or longer....

Seems to be a common symptom between us.....
