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

Si

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.

      Help with genetic testing

      By RMJ · Posted

      HLA-DQ2 is NOT a continuum 2.01 to 2.99, but I don’t understand HLA genetics well enough to explain it further.  It is not just one gene that is either this or that.

      Help with genetic testing

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, I'm taking a guess here. We are used to hearing in layman terms that having either the HLA-DQ2 or the HLA-DQ8 gene, either heterozygous or homozygous, presents the possibility of developing active celiac disease. So, I'm guessing that the HLA-DQ2 gene is actually a range of variants (2.01-2.99) with HLA-DQ 2.5 being in the centerpiece of the range. I'm also guessing that "permissive" is equivalent to "possessing the possibility" to develop active celiac disease and does not address the issue of hetero vs. homozygus per se. But the fact that 2.01,2.01 is a couplet may indicated homozygousity? All wild guesses.

      I received the results that my child has the genes for celiac disease (she is still undergoing testing and it has been complicated). Can someone explain if this is homozygous HLA DQ 2.5 or not? The interpretation just says permissive for celiac disease. Thank you! DQ Alpha 1  05:01, 5 DQ Beta 1 02:01, 02:01 DQ serologic equivalent 2,2

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I am taking thiamine hydrochloride. It's been over a week, and the burning seems to be gone. I am also taking a lower dose B complex with iron. Thank you so much for your help!

      No. It's over the counter. Readily available on Amazon. Good bio availability but shelf-life is not as good as thiamine mononitrate which is the most common form found in over the counter vitamin products.
