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.

      The Happy Tart review

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my...

      The Happy Tart review

      You would think any business would see the wisdom of honoring a $50 gift certificate on the basis of customer satisfaction alone, apart from any questions about software glitches.

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...
