DDD & celiac?

Received diagnosis of degenerative disc disease today after numbness in left arm & throbbing pain in left foot.  I have celiac disease too & see a link between the two. How have some of you been treated with DDD?

I'm not formally diagnosed with coeliac but have been gf for 10 years, I have DDD and have had disc decompression. I've also suffered with poor dental enamel which is also linked to CD.

Wow!  I've had poor dental enamel for years!  My dentist just keeps telling me I'm brushing the enamel off by brushing too hard. Didn't know there was a connection between that & CD.

Hi I to have DDD am celiac and have Gluten Ataxia. I have a lot of pain down my left side from my pelvis and right down to my left foot and pain in my left shoulder and hand , my feet feel spongy all the time. Ataxia uk have helped with information and I am under Sheffield Royal Hallam Hospital Gluten Ataxia clinic and thy found that I have problems with the Cerebellar that governs Balance and have had 3 falls since December 2015 yet had only had 3 in the 5 years before .  I also have had problems with my teeth and gums. the enamel and crumbling teeth. I hope you get your G.P to get you the help you need  and don't let them off the hook until you get that help. Ask them about Gluten Ataxia . They may not know a lot about it , some G.Ps don't. But Ataxia UK can send you a folder for you on ataxia and one especially for G.Ps that you can give them.
