Do you have osteoporosis/osteopenia? What areas of the spine have been involved with your four surgeries? As you probably know, celiac disease damages the lining... -

Currently I am dealing with chest pain arm pain and burning with increased weakness in my legs. I have had bowel incontinence for 6 months.

My gastroentologist didn’t say anything just told me to go gluten free and check blood in 3 months. I have had 2 lumbar disc surgeries and 2 cervical spine surgeries

Welcome to the forum @Tarp! Some more information would be helpful. What is your age? What led you to investigate celiac diagnosis 11 years ago? What were your symptoms then? Do you have osteoporosis/osteopenia? What areas of the spine have been involved with your four surgeries? As you probably know, celiac disease damages the lining of the small bowel which typically results in malabsorption of vitamins and minerals. This, in turn, can result in bone demineralization and as well as neurological disorders. Because of your spinal surgeries, it might be difficult to sort out what is causing what. Are there nutrient deficiency related neurological problems going on? Are there nerve impingement problems going on from the surgeries? Both? Having said that, it's a pretty safe bet that you would do well to invest in some high potency vitamin and mineral supplementation to address the malabsorption problem. We routinely recommend a high potency B-complex, magnesium glycinate or magnesium citrate (not magnesium oxide), D3 (5000 IU daily) and zinc. Most of these in this list are vital to neurological health. Make sure all are gluten free. Costco's Nature Made and Kirkland Signature products are a good choice and reasonably priced.

I had a nuclear stress test and heart issues were ruled out. I can not get a doctor to listen to me and diagnose me. I am afraid I will end paralyzed. I had a question of celiac 11 years ago and then was told I did not have it. Last month it was finally confirmed by biopsy.
