neuropathy & gluten intolerance - Neuropathy Message Board

Has anyone heard of gluten intolerance (Celiac disease)
as a possible "cause" of neuropathy symptoms?

Yes, I've been seeing this. I was confused at first about gluten or glutamate intollerance. While there are many people who are gluten intollerant, I've seen info about glutamate toxicity causing neurologic problems. (Although anything you're allergic to can cause devestating problems.)

Is this along the line of what you're looking for, or are you strickly looking for info on gluten intollerance?

what is gluten?

I think gluten is found in wheat and grains.

riceneuroni - (cute name). Can't answer your question but interested in your experience w/ this. Just about everything, it seems, has gluten in it somewhere.
I don't see how people go completely glutenfree BANG!
I'm wondering if it might help my PN a little to go off
glutin foods gradually or partially, would that do any
good at all or show if I'm on the right track? I wish you well with your Celliac problems.
