since there appears to be a Calcium issue here, i would have to wonder about Vit D and magnesium as well. As the celiac folk can tell you, having the genetic predisposition doesnt equal having the active disease....perhaps the genes are causing a problem with absorption/use of certain nutritional elements. I also wonder if you might have inherited the sca2 from one parent and celiac gene from the other.....good luck

Unfortunately I do have the active disease. Atrophy to the cerebellum, ataxic gate, double vision, muscle cramps and spasms, loss of fine motor skills, speech impairment, loss of balance, fatigue. I will be going to see a SCA specialist and one of the things we will start is a supplement program to help with symptoms. I've been experiencing symtoms now for about 7 years. I have watched the disease progress. At this point I'm willing to try most anything.
