Hi List:
Indicative of how prevalent this symptom is I received several additional replies after the first summary. 
One remarked, very much to the point: "I do hope that doctors who are involved in caring for patients with celiac disease are reading this list, or have a secretary who is checking for new 
information from patients, as one learns more than most doctors know from this LIST." 
I am pretty sure that will never happen but we can report to our MD's what we learn from others who share some of the symptoms we experience. They do pay better attention when a virtual group comes to call, rather than a single patient.

One person had not previously made the connection. Suggests sucking on a magnesium tablet.
Another points out low potassium levels: orange juice and bananas for that.
Check on Vitamin D levels: this can affect bones and muscles and cause loss of muscle mass
About taking a Lactaid tablet for muscle cramps at night: Apparently the lactaid pill breaks up the lactic acid in your muscles, which is why you have the muscle cramps. ... I was told to *very slowly* sip room temp water after exercizing to discourage lactic acid formation. Also, never eat dairy just before or after exercising.
