Parkinson's Patient with Celiac Disease Makes Dramatic Recovery on Gluten-free Diet

I have to take a prescription, which is also used for Parkinsons, for restless legs. I have been getting B vitamin/magnesieum/Folic acid shots, which have really helped my legs. I tried it as the B vitamin shots were something that helped my Grandmother, who could not absorb B vitamins orally. They said she had pernicious anemia. This was 25-30 years ago and we had not heard of celiac, which my aunt also had. I also try to walk a few miles a day but don't always have time. So there is something related to reduced absorption with celiac. I also read somewhere that 34% of celiacs have restless legs. Maybe you could do an article on that?

Unaware of this info. Also, do you have any data about gluten sensitivity as related to FODMAPS?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I can't paste links into this field for anti-spam reasons, but do a search for FODMAPS on celiac.com, and you'll see a number of articles on the subject.

Thanks for your comment! Our anti-spam settings prevent me from posting live links in this area, but do a search for 'restless leg' on celiac.com search bar, and you'll see a number of articles on the subject. I hope that helps.
