<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I am in Victoria, B.C. and have spoken with two people who had edema before they were diagnosed with CD and it went away after going on a gf diet but their doctors did not make any connection. My mother has CD and has severe edema and has just started on a gf diet. Anything I have read does not list this as a symptom. Can anyone let me know if edema is common with CD? Does a gf diet help? Thanks!!! Maureen
