riceneuroni gluten-free diet

matb

Hi,

I was just reading your posts about gluten-free diet. My husband was dxed with celiac disease about 2 yrs ago. His dx was based on biopsy of small intestine, but 2 separate blood tests came back negative. He tried gluten-free diet for a few months then had another biopsy which showed no change in small intestine, so he went back to normal diet.

Just about a year ago he had surgery (for another problem) and woke up in agonizing pain. RSD was finally dxed after 6 months - with damage showing up on bone scan and xray.

After reading posts about benefits of vitamin B12 and doing some research we started to wonder if there was a connection between the celiac disease and RSD because of vitamins not being absorbed properly. So he recently started the B12 and some other B vitamins.

Now that I've read of your success on gluten-free diet and B12 I'm even more convinced there is a connection (at least in some cases).

My husband is going to try the diet again to see if
there's any improvement in pain. His pain has come down a little since starting elavil and doubling baclofen a couple of weeks ago.

Anyway I just wanted to thank you for sharing what has been working for you. I'm very hopeful that it may also work for my husband.
