    Celiac.com 06/01/2015 - Earlier research on celiac disease and neuropathy has been hampered by the use of inpatient data, low study power, and lack of information on neuropathic characteristics.

The research team included Sujata P. Thawani, MD, MPH; Thomas H. Brannagan III, MD; Benjamin Lebwohl, MD, MS; Peter H. R. Green, MD; and Jonas F. Ludvigsson, MD, PhD.

    Can A Gluten-Free Diet Help You Battle Nerve Pain?
    Celiac.com 03/12/2018 - People with celiac disease often experience nerve pain, with can lead to actual nerve damage. Sometimes, neuropathy can be one of the few physical symptoms of celiac disease. Previous studies have linked gluten sensitivity with nerve damage in the hands and feet, which can cause weakness, numbness and pain; a condition called gluten neuropathy.
    For some time, doctors have suspected that gluten may play a role in triggering neuropathy in celiac patients, and that a gluten-free diet may help to alleviate the problem.
    The study by Dr. Zis and his team included 60 people, averaging 70 years of age, who had been diagnosed with gluten neuropathy. More than half of these patients also reported neuropathy-related pain. The data showed that diet was definitely ...

    Gluten-Free Diet Likely Improves Neuropathic Pain in Patients with Gluten Neuropathy
    Celiac.com 09/12/2018 - Many people with celiac disease develop peripheral neuropathy, also known as gluten neuropathy. A team of researchers recently set out to determine rates of neuropathic pain in patients with seemingly idiopathic peripheral neuropathy and gluten sensitivity, and to make note of any contributing factors. They included patients with positive antigliadin, endomysial, and/or transglutaminase antibodies, with or without enteropathy.
    The research team included P Zis, PG Sarrigiannis, DG Rao, and M Hadjivassiliou. They are affiliated with the Academic Department of Neurosciences, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Glossop Rd, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, UK.

    Experts Recommend Celiac and Gluten Sensitivity Screens for Small Fiber Neuropathy Patients
    Celiac.com 08/27/2019 - Patients with gluten neuropathy often have peripheral neuropathic pain, indicating the involvement of small fibers. The most common types of peripheral neuropathy in people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are length-dependent symmetrical sensorimotor neuropathies and sensory ganglionopathies. 
    A team of researchers recently set out to describe the clinical characteristics of patients with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity and pure small fiber neuropathy (SFN). 
    The research team included Pangiotis Zis, PG Sarrigiannis, DG Rao, DS Sanders, and M Hadjivassiliou. They are variously affiliated with the Academic Department of Neurosciences, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Sheffield, UK; and the Academic Unit of Gastroenterology, ...

      Iron supplements - Bowel upsets

      Until I was 19 years old, docs told me I was anemic and to take iron. I had the same side effects from the iron that you describe, felt awful.

      Second child with Celiac

      We decided along with the pediatrician based on his results and his sister having it that he does have it and proceeded with the gluten free diet. His behavior seems a little different so we will see how things change over the next few weeks! We think we just caught it really early.
