Muscular tension

[Sunnysi1]

Hi, recently diagnosed celiac suffer, been on a gluten free diet for about 2 months,

Ive been fairly ok with the things that come with celiac but I noticed my left thigh is odd it's not painful more a spasm or muscles contracting it's no particular palce, If I massage the muscle it goes, but then it comes back again, and round my knee also.

ANYONE else had this?

 

Hope you are all well and happy today

I would guess your spasms are related to vitamin and mineral deficiencies which are normal for celiacs.

Yes. Could be gluten ataxia. I have tremors. Got so bad, I started falling. Get your magnesium levels checked. Supplements have gotten my issues under control. Good luck.

Sunnysi1, celiac disease causes inflammation and damage to the villi that line the small bowel. This is the area of the intestinal track where all of the nutrients from the food we eat get absorbed. The damaged villi are no longer able to absorb nutrients efficiently so we typically develop vitamin and mineral deficiencies. In addition to the magnesium supplement I would recommend a high potency B-complex (gluten free, of course). Costco's Nature Made line is a good choice.

Have your doc check your Vitamin D and Magnesium levels. My Celiac elevated to Ataxia, with muscle tremors and falls. But it can be treated.

Ataxia is a symptom of Thiamine Vitamin B1 deficiency.  Paresthesia and neuropathy are more symptoms. 

Magnesium and thiamine work together, too.  Thiamine works with the other seven essential B vitamins.

Taking a B Complex, Vitamin D and magnesium are great ways to ensure our bodies get plenty of the building blocks needed for health.
