After being diagnosed with gluten sensitivity I started on a gluten free/casein free diet in April. It's been a real roller coaster ride with some very good days but still many bad ones.

Over the summer I developed seizures and muscle spasms in addition to my psychiatric problems. A psychiatrist that I consult with wrote this article ( http://www.corepsychblog.com/2007/08/celiac-notes-op.html ) about me. At first I thought that the seizures were caused by an opiate type withdrawal syndrome but after going through that for several months I started to think that some other problem needed to be addressed. After spending hours on the internet I came across this website ( http://george-eby-research.com/ ). I had come across Mr. Eby's website before but I didn't really pursue his treatment plan. After taking a lot of magnesium most of the seizures and muscle spams have gone away so I must have a serious magnesium deficiency. It looks like I've found another piece of the puzzle.

I ordered some magnesium taurate because it's supposed to be superior to the form of magnesium (citrate and malate) that I'm using now.

I've only been doing this for a week so I'm still early in the game. I have also been taking vitamin B6 because I read that is essential for the absorption of magnesium. In addition that that I take a multi-vitamin mineral supplement, arginine, omega three fatty acids, and vitamin E with selenium. I'm not taking folic acid or vitamin B12 now because some information that I read from the Pfeiffer Treatment Center indicates that I could be an undermethylater and an excess of those nutrients could be bad for me.

I juice greens on most days in addition to all of that.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
