Could I Be Celiac (folate Levels)

[Wishuk]

Hi

I will try and keep this brief, for the last 8 months or so I haven't been very well, I have had Neuroligical symptoms, Neuropathy in my hands and feet, electric shock type feelings in my scalp, down my spine, muscle twitches all of my body, memory loss, hair is falling out, extreme tiredness, some days I can't even get out of bed, the inside of my mouth gets very sore also. I have also had weight loss, ok yes I was calorie counting at the time, but when I stopped that I was still losing weight, which is odd for me. I have been to a Neuro who took blood tests and i'm awaiting nerve conduction studies. In the summer of last year my bloods came back reduced Feiiritin, so I was taking iron tablets for that. I have just got my recent bloodwork results back and its showing decreased Folate levels, of course I didn't know what this meant so googled it and found a connection with Celiac Disease. I don't really have any stomach symptoms as such, I do get bloated at times but I put that down to time of the month.

Also does anyone know what the normal range of Folate is? I think mine was 4.2, I haven't spoken with the Dr about my results yet, was given them by the Receptionist.

Could celiac disease be a possibility?

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can occur alongside of undiagnosed Celiac. I would discuss the possibility of your symptoms being linked to Celiac with your doctor, and ask to be tested via bloodwork.
