GI Disorder and Internal Shaking

Thank you so much for this post and for the vitamin suggestions. I am having lots of internal shaking, too, which I have attributed to PTSD anxiety and panic attacks. But I also have a number of intestinal problems - born celiac (tho now gluten free), lactose intolerance, colitis and diverticulities, constipation, fatty liver (the newest diagnosis) and bowel urgency (just to name a few!) Finding a diet that accounts for all of this has been impossible. Like you, I find that intermittent fasting and lots and lots of fluids helps (though I'm still fat!) But now I find your vitamin suggestions very interesting. I will ask my GI doctor to look at this website and help me understand what might be best for me. I am very, very grateful...

Hiya recently I’ve started to get the exact same issue, can I ask what the outcome was ?

Hello,

I have the exact same symptom you describe - "internal vibrations/tremors" likely associated with colon spasms I believe. they started a few years ago and would wake me up in the middle of the night and last for 1-2 hours.. now they are constant, and seem to be aggravated by choice of foods - specifically dairy/dairy derivatives, and enriched bread, fruit in general, raw vegetables (those seem to be the goods/ingredients with the worst effects - thinking it could be cellulose gum in enriched bread that leads to especially painful episodes). If I eat anyone of those, I get dull pain in the abdomen, tension headaches/head pressure, stiff/sore neck, dizziness, intense fatigue, blurry vision and pressure on eyes, nausea, joint pain mostly around hips, etc..which can last for up to 3-4 days. Ibuprofen doesn't doesn't help much or at all, I just have to ride it out, and I have to immediately revert to liquid diet or to what I know works for me (simple chicken subway sandwiches). My doctors have diagnosed me with IBS a while back but that's all they can figure out, all my other tests look good, except non-specific inflammation (high ESR/sedimentation rate, and high CRP/c-reactive protein) and mild high blood pressure.

I would like to find out if anyone else is in a similar situation and has found solutions to mitigate such episodes, as I'm unsure of who to turn to for help.

Did you ever figure this out? I just starting having the exact same thing a few weeks ago and we can't figure it out.

Did you ever find out what was causing this? I’m have the same symptoms.

Have you received a diagnosis? I have the exact symptoms.

I've been getting the internal tremors and rapid heart rate. Sometimes it feels like it starts in my legs and sometimes in my gut. Always after standing up for more than just as couple of minutes. I've been in bed for a month because if all of this. I do have gut issues as well and have wondered if that is the reason for all of this. I've found that drinking electrolyte water helps to calm down the symptoms but if I stop drinking it, they get worse again. I'm at such a loss as to what to do.

I have similar symptoms but it started with feeling pins and needles all over my body, along with random muscle spasms everywhere and these internal tremors that seem worse in my chest and abdomen but are really everywhere else too.

I also experience constipation (but have for years without any other symptoms so not sure it’s related.)

I too have been struggling with anxiety and depression. But I’m not sure if that’s the cause of my symptoms or if my symptoms are causing anxiety. Still worth admitting that this follows a very stressful traumatic time in my life and I have noticed anxiety produces similar tremors or at least makes it worse. Yet I doubt it’s fully caused by anxiety due to symptoms worsening while I sleep.

Anyway be careful when they say within range because it took a few doctors to finally tell me my b12 and iron was actually low. Even mildly low levels can cause symptoms.

I have noticed mild improvement since taking high levels of all vitamins for a short while, at least I can sleep now and I couldn’t sleep at all before due to the symptoms. The pins and needles are a lot less pronounced and now i just have internal tremors.
Today though the internal tremors are worse, and I feel noticeably shaky accompanied with muscle fatigue and so I’m just kind of doubting it’s due to vitamin deficiency because I’ve been taking vitamins 3x daily for quite a few days now. Granted my doctor said it could take a month to notice improvements

So just fyi ask to see the numbers on your b12 / ferritin and get your other vitamins tested. For example on my blood test, the b12’s range said in between 150-600 is normal. Mine was at 162. And so a few doctors overlooked it until one said 162 is actually on the low end. Everywhere else says the range should be 200-800 and being mildly low on b12 can produce symptoms even anxiety.
Also my ferritin was mildly low. I assume I probably am low on other vitamins hence why I started taking all vitamins.
(I don’t really have a well balanced diet just because I never ate on a regular basis, fasted a lot and hated cooking meals)

Hi all, I'm so glad I found this forum. I have similar symptoms that started cca. one year ago, with an acute phase, triggered by very spicy food and alcohol. I was suffering from shaking and rapid hartbeat with hypertension 2 weeks long (never had these before). And I was cold - normally, I'm rarely cold, I rather dislike heat.
I started a diet, the symptoms were gone but returned when I ate something irritating. Later, I experienced symptoms only when I drank alcohol. So I avoided alcohol for a long time.
EKGs, heart ultrasound, lab test results were fine except slightly increased CRP and GPT (liver enzyme) but these got back to normal level.
I had gastroscopy and was diagnosed with: mild chronicus, aspecificus duodenitis and mild chronicus, reactiv antrum-gastritis. It turned out that my DAO is low, which is probably an aftermath of duodenitis.
I took antacids, probiotics and the symptoms were gone. But during my holiday I tried alcohol again and I have symptoms again. I'm not sure alcohol caused this as the symptoms do not appear right after drinking alcohol, and despite I avoid alcohol again, I experienced shaking and rapid hartbeat recently.
I am very concerned about this. I thought the inflammation would heal in almost one year...

Forgot to mention: the shaking and rapid hartbeat starts when I lie down. This seems to be important as many of you mentioned the same.
