Ataxia and Celiac question

Are there any indications whether or not Gluten related Ataxia can occur outside of a diagnose of Celiac ?

I think the answer to your question is still unknown.  The UK seems to be the leading research center in the world for gluten ataxia:

https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/spectrum-of-gluten-related-conditions/neurological-conditions/

I think there is a TTG6 antibodies test for gluten ataxia which is different than the TTG2 standard celiac screening test.  Not sure if you have to be on a full gluten diet for 8 to 12 weeks prior to the TTG6 test.

You have been a forum member for many years.  Is the gluten free diet not helping?  Are you sure you are gluten free?  Consider the Fasano diet for a few months which is basically no processed foods and no eating out.

I hope you figure it out.

I have symptoms of Ataxia, but I am fine with gluten and it seems to be either rice, casein, or soy causing my neurological symptoms. I was in the hospital last year and had 9 months of little to no symptoms until a week ago I had a very bad cross contamination and I've been ruined all week.

Ataxia can also be caused by diabetes, so consider a screening for that.

      I was diagnosed at 6 after having severe stomach pain after eating white bread or any kind of gluten my sister had one done aswell I was scared for the biopsy but thats bc the gas mask thing but now that I am a 14yr old female struggling with severe chronic pain making my body ache for no reason making it hard to sleep and do the things I love like playing spot which I love to do but I can sometimes not even be able to walk bc my knees hurt so bad I can or my hips or back the only think I wish for is to be a normal kid which I can't even be and I get accused of faking pain bc there is no physical things to notice especially at school when one day it will be so sore im limping the next im walking perfectly fine idk if its all from celiac disease but im the only one in my family that has this problem

      I noticed eating gluten-free or CGF foods have higher sugar and sodium some. No added sugar protein bars I found better with plant fiber. I wanted to know what are you go to besides whole fruits/veggies that you find are healthy for you where you can feel eating normal without hurting yourself or health. I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to see if there is something that is healthier CGF that can make me feel normal. Thanks

      Thankyou because I met up with K B with well known bay area hospital once and she said she knows I don't like to take meds, I said thats incorrect, I have issues.Thats the one that said I was deemed " unruly " when she admitted I was celiac when I asked why am I going through this.

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.
