celiac disease

Post by rlwill »

Hi, I just found out about RLS. I have had trouble with leg jerking at night for a long time. About a year ago I was told I had celiac disease. One of the symptoms of celiac disease is anemia that can cause RLS. Doctors don't look for this disease.

Ferritin?

Post by jumpyowl »

Welcome to the club! :)

Have you had your ferritin level checked yet? Make sure your doctor takes your RLS seriously! It can probably be controlled by a [u]proper[u/] iron supplementation.
