Extremity weakness/numbness - Seems to be digestive

Extremity weakness/numbness - Seems to be digestive

Please help - I have posted here before, and still do not have relief from what appears to be an evolving process.

I'll try to keep it short - I have bilateral numbness and weakness in my extremities, with abdominal pains and digestive issues.  I have a gnawing and sometimes aching or pinching pain in my upper left abdominal quadrant.  I very frequently have way too much gas, bloating, flat sided and lighter colored stools, etc...  I have had normal CCK 10 months ago, negative gastroparesis, an unremarkable colonoscopy about 15 months ago, normal endoscopy 11 months ago, Normal head MRI, NCV/EMG, ANA, Sed rate, normal glucose fasting and tolerance, negative lyme, thyroid normal, B12 normal, etc...  I had low B1 and have been getting shots but this does not help.  The numbness/weakness is worsened at times, like something is squeezing my insides and causing a constriction of circulation.  I also have chronic soreness and neck pain/ back pain too.  Please, if you have an idea of what this could be let me know.  Maybe celiac?  I was negative for that a year ago but the numbness started about 9 months ago.  

Thanks and God Bless

It's worth giving an elimination diet (for gluten) a trial. The tests are not always wonderfully accurate when it comes to diagnosing celiac problems. Many of the symptoms you're talking about could be related to celiac problems.
