Hi, recently diagnosed celiac suffer, been on a gluten free diet for about 2 months,

Ive been fairly ok with the things that come with celiac but I noticed my left thigh is odd it's not painful more a spasm or muscles contracting it's no particular palce, If I massage the muscle it goes, but then it comes back again, and round my knee also.

ANYONE else had this?

 

Hope you are all well and happy today

I would guess your spasms are related to vitamin and mineral deficiencies which are normal for celiacs.

Yes. Could be gluten ataxia. I have tremors. Got so bad, I started falling. Get your magnesium levels checked. Supplements have gotten my issues under control. Good luck.

Sunnysi1, celiac disease causes inflammation and damage to the villi that line the small bowel. This is the area of the intestinal track where all of the nutrients from the food we eat get absorbed. The damaged villi are no longer able to absorb nutrients efficiently so we typically develop vitamin and mineral deficiencies. In addition to the magnesium supplement I would recommend a high potency B-complex (gluten free, of course). Costco's Nature Made line is a good choice.

Have your doc check your Vitamin D and Magnesium levels. My Celiac elevated to Ataxia, with muscle tremors and falls. But it can be treated.

Ataxia is a symptom of Thiamine Vitamin B1 deficiency.  Paresthesia and neuropathy are more symptoms. 

Magnesium and thiamine work together, too.  Thiamine works with the other seven essential B vitamins.

Taking a B Complex, Vitamin D and magnesium are great ways to ensure our bodies get plenty of the building blocks needed for health.

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      By ognam · Posted

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By ognam · Posted

      Yes, lots of delicious things have barley malt. It also doesn't include rye. And there are a number of grains commonly cross contaminated such as oats.   Additionally, wheat allergies are different from gluten allergies as wheat allergies are a reaction to a wheat protein. So something *could* contain wheat gluten without causing a wheat allergic response (though realistically,  I don't know how likely that is to occur)

      Although it is true that FDA regulations don't require gluten to be included in allergy info, it does require wheat and ingredients made from wheat to be listed. Of course, that doesn't preclude gluten from barley being found in a product.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By ognam · Posted

      I had a lot of weird/random symptoms for a few months after going gluten free. But eventually they evened out and I felt SO MUCH BETTER. The person above wrote a very detailed message that looks helpful. I'd add don't forget to check for gluten in places like medicine. Advil liquigels, for example, have gluten. It's very frustrating trying to figure out if things are gluten free as us law doesn't require it to be declared. The only labeling rule is that if the product says gluten free, it must have less than 20ppm gluten.
