muscles cramping

[Jane Phillips]

does anyone have the problem of muscles cramping

[Scott Adams]

Yes, before I started taking supplements regularly I used to get agonizing Charlie horses, especially at night. See my signature block for a link to my supplement list.

The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

Hi,

Magnesium has helped me with my muscle cramping due to a deficiency from Celiac.  I have had success with a complex magnesium from Megafoods.  My daughter who also has Celiac takes Pure magnesium supplements which are certified gluten free.  She is going to give supplement information on her page soon.  You can check it out and give it a follow!   Juliacs Journey
