Anyone also have MS?

 I’ve been gluten free now for eight years. I have had two separate biopsies confirming celiac disease. I’ve had scopes since diagnosis that showed regrowth of microvilli. The diet has worked and I gained back all the weight that I lost before diagnosis.

 Lately, I’ve had some alarming symptoms. I’m having trouble making certain expressions with my face, I have a very hard time finding words or pronouncing words. I’ve had loss of feeling in my hands And numbness in tingling. I also get strangled very easily when I’m drinking or eating. I’m experiencing a trimmer in my right hand particularly although I’ve never had a very steady hand.

The doctor checked all my vitamins etc. and put me on vitamin D months ago, but other than that everything has been fine as far as blood work.

I have not changed anything. Just wondering if any of you have experience this and if you found out what caused it.

I don't have MS but I have a similar disease. I know it's really frightening to suddenly have these sort of symptoms but the good thing is is that with MS if you find you have it or something similar, there are a lot more options and research available than what once was. So even if you have it, it dosn't mean that you have to live a life not worth living. There are options! Especially if you are willing to change up your lifestyle habits.

that being said, have you gone over your test results yourself? Perhaps  you are having a sneakier form of vitamin deficiency. Specifically with B12. I hope you are able to find a good resolution for this!

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.

      Thank you so much! I will look for that.

      @llisa, back then when you tried magnesium and it upset your tummy, I'm guessing you were using the most common form of magnesium found on store shelves, namely, magnesium oxide. It has a reputation for having a laxative effect. It is not very well absorbed and so draws a lot of water into the colon, just like the laxative known as milk of magnesia. I'm guessing if you would switch to the "glycinate" form of magnesium you would not have this problem. Magnesium glycinate is absorbed much better. If you can't find magnesium glycinate at your local stores, you can order gluten free brands of it off of Amazon.

      I've tried magnesium before. Twice in 2 years. It really upset my stomach. And that was before this celiac disease diagnosis. (Finally, after 2 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me.) I have no idea how sensitive I am. When my stomach was upset, I'd go to my comfort foods: cream of wheat, cheese and crackers, scrambled eggs and toast...so, making myself worse by trying to feel better.  Just got results of biopsy yesterday, so today is first day of trying no gluten and reading that it can be hiding in vitamins and meds. So, I welcome ALL advice and personal experiences. No advice is too basic. I know nothing. Thank you!

      Have you considered also supplementing with magnesium and zinc? We usually recommend these two as well. D3, Calcium and Magnesium all important for bone and nerve health.
