All my life I've seemed to bruise so easily (black and blue marks).
Sometimes it is obvious why -- I bumped myself on the edge of the coffee
table or the car door, etc., but many times there doesn't seem to be any
reason I can identify in terms of clumsiness or minor mishap. This may be
far out, but I'm wondering if there might be any connection with CD? Do we
have a tendency to bruise more easily, and is there a reason unrelated to
any external cause?

Has anyone else noticed this about themselves?

I was thinking it could be related to a vitamin deficiency (possibly vitamin
C ?), since we tend to have malabsorption problems. I do take between
500-1000 mg vitamin C daily, but it doesn't seem to help.

Thank you.
