This morning on the walk to school ds had an awful foot cramp. Could this be a symptom of being glutened? He's had leg and foot cramps before but I never tracked them because I never thought they could be related, but now I'm wondering.

Thanks!

I'd say that yes, it could be a symptom. After my dd was born, I had horrendous foot cramps and pain for over a year. I seriously thought that I had stress fractures in both feet! When we put dd on the diet, I went on as well and the pain cleared up in a matter of days. I've heard many others here report the same thing with foot pain that went away once on diet.

I'd definitely track it to see if the two coincide.

My daughter regularly had leg and foot pain before diagnosis. Now it only happens when she is glutened. She'll get cramps for about a week from a single glutening.

Apparently it can, Im pretty suire it also has to do that the gluteing possibly blocks your intake on Nutriens due to the immunereaction or even sucks it right out of you! Maybe you should try to give your body electrolytes, Magnesium /Potassium to be exact which if lacking or low in the body usually causes severe legcramps. See if drinking a small bottle of Gatorade Berry, Grape or Orange which are accoprding to my Glutenfree shopppngguide glutenfree until the symptoms/legcramps go away , helps. This should replace any Electrolytes the glutening sucked out of your body pretty quickly! Maybe it helps!

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
