I was having horrible restless legs and unexplained muscle cramps in my feet and legs.  I tried RSL medications with no relief.  Blood tests showed my iron levels so low I almost needed transfusions.

My doctor figured it had to be some kind of serious GI bleeding  or cancer were likely causes.  

Endoscopy showed Celiac disease.

Except for anemia, I have no other Celiac symptoms.<br/><br/>

I've been on a gluten free diet now for almost a year but never connected restless leg syndrome to diet. Oddly enough I did not connect the absence or at least near absence of restless leg syndrome which I found extremely painful.  I would walk the floor for hours in an effect to straighten my toes and ease the cramps up my legs.  Thank you for this 'ray of sunshine' and the near absence of restless leg syndrome.<br/><br/>
