Hi, I know there have been several posts from people who have CD and
Restless Legs Syndrome(RLS).  I have not seen any inf. on iron levels
shared, so wanted to send some out.  RLS symptoms can be brought on by a
deficiency in ferritin and of course we all know that CD can cause
absorbtion problems.  Ferritin is the amount of iron stored in the body.
If you are experiencing RLS symptoms you may want to have your ferritin
level checked.  However, please know your ferritin level and not just
take iron supplements without a doctor prescribing this treatment. Iron
overload can be very bad.

Hope this is of help to some of you.  Carol
