I have a great deal of leg muscle weakness on my left side. I have a geat deal of difficulty going upstairs or any incline, getting in and out of the car and changing manual gear. There is also a great deal of numbness on left leg from my hip to my knee.

Does anyone have any ideas? I was only resently diagnosed with Celiac disease (Oct 05) and have just recent ly been dianosed with osteoperosis in T7.

I am 53 years old, confused and have lost about 17lbs.

Hi, and welcome!!

What springs to mind with your description is 'periphial neuropathy' - which often happens to coeliacs.
My hubby had these symptoms (+ burning tingling feet) and even was seeing a neurologist for it , but it went away around 6 months after being gluten-free.

His neurologist believes it was caused by vitamin deficiencies (mainly B12)

I should point out my hubby also has osteoporosis, but this causes more joint aches for him.

I am a little concerned by your weight loss though and wanted to ask are you absolutely sure you are not getting any gluten slipping into your diet anywhere?? ( perhaps through cross contamination, shared kitchen maybe?)

With the unexplained (?) weight loss I would definitely see your GP - your first port of call - are you still under a gastro???
