Muscle Cramps Possible Symptom?

Also a newbie to the forum,

which is very informative, by the way...!! :o)

Will be tested for celiac disease soon...have had the alternating constipation/diahorea symptom for a couple of years now. This started gradually but now the diarohea and bowel cramps have now become nearly a constant fixture. Also several cases of celiac disease have been found recently on one side of my family...so i'm suddenly thinking a gluten intolerance might be the cause...

Additionally, in the last year have started to have very tough muscle cramps, in my feet... when it started was told this could be due to a magnesium definciency and was told to take extra every day...no reason given. I was wondering if anyone else has had this experience?? if nutrient definciency is mentioned as a symptom normally only anemia comes up...

Many thanks!

Hi and Welcome,

I too have the problems with the cramps in the bottoms of my feet and sometimes in my palms. I've been told that any vitamin deficiency is typical for us. I don't get them every day, but when I do, I know I have to take my magnesium for a few days.

My son has leg cramps anytime he has gluten...it is usually the first symptom to show up with him. before we started the gluten free diet he had them daily ( i thought it was just kid stuff he is 6) he stopped having them within a couple of days of starting the diet.

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
