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.

      From the article I linked above: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) Blood Tests for Celiac Disease These tests measure the levels of antibodies in the blood, but specifically targets deamidated gliadin peptides, which are a type of gluten protein that can trigger an immune response in people with celiac disease. The test is not always included in adults, but should be in cases with IgA deficiency.  I'm not sure if this is a grammatical error or not but in the context, two tests are being spoken of together so it could be intended to say, "These tests". I'll ask Scott about that.

      No they did not run a total IGA. But wouldn’t the DPG-IGA also be negative also if I was IGA deficient? They did also run a TTG-IGG and a DPG-IGG and they were also negative.

      The DGP-IGA is valuable when celiac is suspected but the person being tested is IGA deficient. Were you tested for IGA deficiency. In other words, was there a test known as "Total IGA" ordered? Here is an overview of the various blood tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease:

      Has anyone ever negative blood work except for the DPG-IGA? Mine was 42 (reference range negative is >20. The TTG iga was negative. I have always suffered from bad gas issues and lately have been having bouts of diarrhea and constipation. I also have a bumpy rash that comes and goes below both elbows. i have an endoscopy scheduled in May but I was just wondering if anyone else had bloodwork like this and what was the end result?

      Welcome to he forum community, @DjinnDjab! You wrote: "i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships." Are you saying that the need to eat gluten free has resulted in losing all your friends and your entire social life?
