Is This For Real?

In my third gluten free week, I've now had 4 nights of sleeping through the night, and no Restless Legs either after dinner or at midnight. I haven't slept this well in about 16 years. I'm really happy but could this just be a blip? Its the diet or the magnesium supplement or both.

I can't believe the improvement in my health this diet has brought, I'm not even diagnosed by a doctor. I keep thinking the good things will go away and it was all a fluke.

In my research and experience, it is no fluke that the magnesium helps. I'm so glad you're feeling better!

Thanks Rice Guy, it was your suggestion for magnesium that got me to take it. I had it at home from a while ago but I never took it.

I guess even if this is all a fluke, I'll enjoy the interlude while I have it!

I take no supplements. My sleep improved with a diet change. For you, it could be either, or both, that's helping.

Thanks to riceguy I also researched magnesium and found I wasn't taking near enough. I'm bringing my dose up and it's already helping a ton!! Thanks!!

It is not a fluke. I sleep much better, much deeper and much less since changing my diet. I have been on Magnesium for years for another problem and that did not really help. My restless leg syndrome has hit me only twice in the last few months, once when glutened and once when I stayed up till 3am. I tended to get it when tired.

      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?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
