Answer: Just because you have one does not mean that it is caused by the other - they could be totally unrelated issues. In which case taking Vitamin E wont effect the neurological condition. If they are related, taking it doesnt necessarily mean that the ataxia will relent, but it might. Good Luck

Answer: Vitamin E deficiency is a very rare problem. If you eat a normal well-balanced diet, it is unlikely that you are deficient in vitamin E. Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant in the blood.

Question: Describe the physical symptoms that accompany a deficiency of Vitamin C and vitamin E?

Answer: Vit C Deficiency: Scurvy...characterized by the formation of liver spots on the skin, spongy gums, and bleeding from all mucous membranes. The spots are most abundant on the thighs and legs, and a person with the ailment looks pale, feels depressed, and is partially immobilized. Vit E Deficiency: There are three specific situations when a vitamin E deficiency is likely to occur. It is seen in persons who cannot absorb dietary fat, has been found in premature, very low birth weight infants (birth weights less than 1500 grams, or 3.5 pounds), and is seen in individuals with rare disorders of fat metabolism. A vitamin E deficiency is usually characterized by neurological problems due to poor nerve conduction. Individuals who cannot absorb fat may require a vitamin E supplement because some dietary fat is needed for the absorption of vitamin E from the gastrointestinal tract. Anyone diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, individuals who have had part or all of their stomach removed, and individuals with malabsorptive problems such as Crohn's disease, liver disease or pancreatic insufficiency may not absorb fat and should discuss the need for supplemental vitamin E with their physician (3). People who cannot absorb fat often pass greasy stools or have chronic diarrhea. Very low birth weight infants may be deficient in vitamin E. These infants are usually under the care of a neonatologist, a pediatrician specializing in the care of newborns, who evaluates and treats the exact nutritional needs of premature infants. Abetalipoproteinemia is a rare inherited disorder of fat metabolism that results in poor absorption of dietary fat and vitamin E. The vitamin E deficiency associated with this disease causes problems such as poor transmission of nerve impulses, muscle weakness, and degeneration of the retina that can cause blindness. Individuals with abetalipoproteinemia may be prescribed special vitamin E supplements by a physician to treat this disorder. Also, in adults, erythrocyte membrane fragility results as the erythrocytes are oxidized.

Question: what are the symptoms of mild vitamin E deficiency? tell me about mild deficiency not severe

Answer: Vitamin E Deficiency Symptoms Vitamin E deficiency has been observed in individuals with severe malnutrition, genetic defects affecting the vitamin E a-tocopherol transfer protein, and fat malabsorption syndromes. For example, children with cystic fibrosis or cholestatic liver disease, who have an impaired capacity to absorb dietary fat and therefore fat-soluble vitamins, may develop symptomatic vitamin E deficiency. Severe vitamin E deficiency results mainly in neurological symptoms such as impaired balance and coordination, and muscle weakness. The developing nervous system appears to be especially vulnerable to vitamin E deficiency because children with severe vitamin E deficiency from birth, who are not treated with vitamin E, develop neurological symptoms rapidly. In contrast, individuals who develop malabsorption of vitamin E in adulthood may not develop neurological symptoms for 10-20 years.

Question: in which of the following situations would a fat soluble vitamin deficiency be least likely to occur? a. someone who eats a diet high in fat b. someone who uses fat substitutes as the only source of fat c. someone who consumes a lowfat diet composed largely of convenience foods. d. someone with a disease condition with malabsorbption of fat e. someone using mineral oil as a laxative immediatly after a meal.

Answer: a. someone who eats a diet high in fat It's very unlikely a person who consume a diet with high fat will have fat soluble vitamin deficiency. The vitamins, A, D,E, K need fat to be absorb so, if fats were consumed normally, it's unlikely the vitamins deficiency can occur.

Question: Vitamin E deficiency and weak legs? has anyone had difficulty walking, usually because they are tired and or weak? I went to a famous health shop and they advised that vitamin E would get rid of that problem. Has anyone else tried this?

Answer: I agree with menlo girl...calcium should help the problem although the vitamin D only helps the body absorb the calcium more efficiently, on it's own it is of no benefit. I would however still recommend that you get yourself checked out at the doctors....you should never seek medical opinion from anybody other than a trained professional. Good luck...
