A study published in the journal Digestive Diseases and Sciences examines the possibility that gluten could spur Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS).
In the study, RLS symptoms improved in 50 percent of participants who for six months were on a gluten-free diet.
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. People with celiac disease cannot tolerate gluten.
The study's authors concluded that it might be important to screen RLS patients for celiac disease. |

Popular sleeping drug Ambien can keep people from waking up during episodes of nocturnal acid reflux, according to a mid-September Reuters report.
Researchers found acid reflux woke people 89 percent of the time when no sleeping drugs were administered. However, when Ambien was used, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) woke people only 40 percent of the time.
The Reuters story notes that nocturnal acid reflux is the top cause of Barrett's esophagus, blamed for esophageal cancer. The study was published in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology.
Good alternative sleep aids include valerian root and passionflower extract. Also, people suffering from acid reflux might benefit from licorice root (DGL), marshmallow root and digestive enzymes. |

Swedish researchers report celiac disease, associated with a greater risk of disease, increases the chance of death by 35 percent to 39 percent.
In study participants, cancer and heart disease were the top causes of death, according to a mid-September story from HealthDay. The risk was higher for people who had small-intestine biopsies as children.
The study was published in the Sept. 16 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
People with celiac disease are intolerant to gluten, which is found in wheat, barely and rye. |
