Ms Gluten Connection

I'm curious, how many people here are also diagnosed with MS? And, if so, did your symptoms improve with gluten elimination? What about when you accidentally get glutened - do the symptoms get worse?

I'm asking because right before I went gluten-free I had optic neuritis. I just got glutened ( about a week ago) and had back pain, really bad, despite treatment, since then. Also have had radiating arm pain and numbness.

Curious about others experiences.

I have a cousin with MS who is gluten-free because he finds it helps, although he does not test positive for celiac disease.

 

Gluten ataxia can be misdiagnosed as MS. Beyond that, I'm afraid that I don't know much.

Gluten and the top 8 allergens are the more complex protein chains for the body to break down and digest.  If the body is already stressed, these foods are possibly just adding more stress to the system.

 

It is not fully understood why a gluten free diet is helping many individuals with auto immune diseases (even some mental disorders).

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
