<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> This was a very informal poll, but the results were interesting. I had 36 respondents. Thirty-four had low or low-to normal blood pressure. Of the two individuals with high blood pressure, one mentioned that her BP was low until she got on the gf diet, then her blood pressure went into the high range. Of the 36 respondents, 24 were confirmed celiac disease, 12 were "other" -- either they suspected CD & hadn't had a biopsy, or overlooked mentioning that they were confirmed. One woman mentioned that anemia would cause particular physiologic changes resulting in low blood pressure, & that's a good point -- is low blood pressure a direct result of celiac disease or is it indicative of any underlying auto-immunity? Would you find low blood pressure in a group of diabetics or people with Sjorgen's syndrome, for example. But if we were doing a "patient profile", perhaps considering low blood pressure teamed with persistent vitamin (B's, esp. folic acid) and mineral deficiencies, (iron = anemia, zinc = white flecks on fingernails) might lead to an earlier diagnosis of CD/gluten intolerance. Just food for thought. Bec [log in to unmask]
