<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> First I "caught" celiac disease from my son, and now half my face has stopped working. Sheesh. Who'd I offend? Anyway. Does anyone know if there's a higher incidence of Bell's palsy associated with celiac disease or not? My Merck's manual says that Bell's palsy can be caused by a virus or an immunological response; and since celiac disease is the latter, I thought my problem might not be uncommon (I have not had a virus lately). Thanks in advance for responses, public or private. Linda Blanchard Midland TX USA [log in to unmask]
