Leg pain

Hi All. I have been suffering from tight and painful calves, hamstrings and thighs for over a year now. I have had many medical investigations and all revealed nothing wrong with me. So I read somewhere that similar symptoms can be a result of an intolerance to gluten. Is this true? Any input would be really appreciated. Thanks. Will.

Yeah look up Magnesium Deficiency, it is common with celiac disease. Celiac disease damages the gut and causes nutrient absorption issues. The tight muscles and cramping legs is probably magnesium and perhaps b-vitamins. If you have constipation or do not have a BM at least once a day go with Natural Vitality Calm starting with 1/4 tsp a day and up it slowly to the full 2 tsp dose and a bit beyond til you have loose stools then dose back down a bit, this is referred to dosing to tolerance. If you have healthy Bowel Movements daily or if the Calm is to harsh get Doctors Best powdered magnesium and start with 1 level scoop daily and see how that treats you.

Now in regards to celiac there is a simple blood test to rule it out. You have to be eating gluten daily before getting the test done you can read up more here. Open Original Shared Link

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Still unsure.....

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
