Leg Sores

[Moogle39]

I'm waiting results from my dermatologist, but I have a few spots that have just opened up on my lower legs. One was bleeding, another is almost at that point. Has anyone with celiac/gluten intolerance had any spots like that? The ones I have aren't big or painful, but any open wounds happening on their own is worrisome.

How's the circulation down there in the lower end?

Hi, @Moogle39,

Do you have diabetes or pre-diabetes?  

Have you been getting enough Vitamin C?

What sorts of food are you eating?

I don't have diabetes. To be honest I was actually wondering about vitamin c. I know I don't get enough of my diet and I don't take enough supplements. I'm considering taking a vitamin test just to see if that might be what's going on

 @Moogle39,

Take the test for deficiency before you start supplementing, otherwise a blood test will just reflect the vitamin supplement.  

You might want to add more Vitamin C foods to your diet, too.  

Keep us posted on the results!   Best wishes!
