CELIAC MUSCLE SPASM SUMMARY
I had quite a few replys on the muscle spasms associtated with celiacs.
There were quite a few with cramps in the arms, legs and feet. About 70 to
80 replies. Sorry I didn't get this done sooner.
Thanks to all that replied, I am sorry I didn't get back to some of you.
A lot of people said taking more calcium and magnesium did help. Dr. Fine
said to take 1 to 2 teaspoons (not tablespoons) of milk of magnesium, or a
liquid magnesium due to the probable malabsorption. I have been doing this
with good results, my spasms have only been small spasms, today I am good.
Most every one that experienced the spasms, said that after going GF, the
spasms went away in 2-4 months. (There is Hope)
One person said to check the mercury in my
body. I posted her reply because
it might help someone, This is her reply:
I have had back spasms for many years....No Doctor could figure it out.
They developed into tremors, especially at night. You should highly
consider being checked for levels of mercury in your blood. I'm currently
being detoxed from mercury. A healthy person should have a .40 level of
mercury.
I have 136!!! Many Doctors believe that mercury levels are the #1 cause for
auto-immune diseases. I would call Dr Jay Meads office in Portland and see
if they can refer you to a specialist in your city. To compare....Here is a
list of my
symptoms..
(first of all..I'm a celiac)
2- tongue pain
3- body tremors
3) cold feet & hands

Then some people found out that dairy was the problem.
A lot of people suggested incre
asing calsium, magnesium, liquid calsium,
and one said vitamin E, another said celiacs were not suppose to take
vitamin E.?? And a few said a good multi-vitamin, I'm in search for a good
one.
There were a few that said after going on the GF diet, the spasms got
worse, but then after a while they either improved or disapeared completely.
One suggested the ELISA food panel for IgG responses to food.
One person had them so bad she was in a wheel chair, she was diagnosed with
celiac, went GF and has them no more.
I hope I covered all the replies but if I didn't get your important
information let me know, or you can post it.
I really appreciate everyone that replied, good luck to all of you, I have
one more question but I will save it for another day. The Garden is
calling......
