I think this site may be useful in finding ataxia specialists for diagnosis and monitoring.

I am wondering if the other moms posting here had success finding a doctor?  My daughter had another accidental exposure (she made a mistake at a gathering with friends) and lost use of her foot again, had heaviness of her right arm, and minor uncontrollable tremors.  Lasted two days. And that was it for me. 

I have been contacting doctors and sending emails all over.  I'm hoping I have hit on some success. Dr. Bushara at University of Minnesota's Ataxia Center has info specifically on gluten related Ataxia. I called and spoke to his nurse, she spoke to him and called me back. She said he would definitely see my daughter but also gave me the name of a doctor in the Chicago area. Dr. Puneet Opal at Northwestern. I emailed him and he is going to see my daughter, has experience diagnosing gluten ataxia and knows that they need to be looking for different antibodies (i.e. Not positive for celiac disease does not rule it out...that's what I keep getting from doctors).

Also, I keep sending this paper to all of my daughter's doctors. It's very helpful;

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?

      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Still unsure.....

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
