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.

      @Joe R Thanks for clarifying! That's what I've heard, too, about Italy, but I've never been, sad face. Almost no one on these boards would recommend the approach of your GI doc, and would instead stick with yours. (Maybe if a "glutening" causes so many discomforts and inconveniences that it just overwhelms your life, and you have nothing else to do...maybe.) But, generally in the clinical setting, coming off prednisone requires a taper, as suddenly quitting can cause problems. Anyway, good for you!

      Immunologist Referral if IgA Deficient

      By Joe R · Posted

      I am 58 years old and was diagnosed two years ago with Celiac Disease based on an EGD showing lymphocytic infiltrates and blunted villi in my duodenum. Lab work shows a severe IgA deficiency. Is it worthwhile to consult with an immunologist regarding the IgA deficiency?  I don’t seem to have any chronic sinus issues or infections but feel like I should get more information regarding the consequences of not having IgA from an expert. I live in Atlanta and surprisingly I have yet to find an immunologist that specializes in this area. Does anyone have a suggestion as to who I con consult with?  I’m sure that telemedicine consults can easily be accomplished these days if I can’t find a local expert.

      I was diagnosed in 1994 with celiac disease by Kaiser with biopsy and was told to stay away from wheat and I'll be just fine.I have and Im not.Had my first baby in 94 and my tolerance level was horrible.Having a celiac episode we all know how its horrible with the vomiting and digestive issues. Never googled because internet wasn't around.Still pushing through that's my normal.In 2001 was busy with my sick baby that went through the ringer with severe chronic Neutropenia it was horrible times he out grew it now almost 24 years old this month. In 2007 still digestive issues had blood drawn and have many food allergies.  told my primary im celiac ( i had primary Dr 25 YEARS up til May 2025.My savior was tramadel thats what my doctor gave me and thats what ive been on up til 2023 stopped when i got covid for the 3rd time to give my body a break. Been through  every test.Gi Dr as well who said I wasn't. celiac in 2024 Ive been glutenfree for 30 years at the time now 31 years. Im going to Standford this year and had breath test and sibo which is positive. I have ulcers on my body and I asked how when it was diagnosed as staph 4 years ago, not wanting to admit its from my dismissed celiac condition. Currently dealing with that.My last job was a bus driver last day of work was in March 2023. I was released from my job because of being out so long dealing with health issues. Disability is not helping at all, no income stressed.Currently doing more test and will be going under again next month with new GI doctor at Standford. Depressed because Im literally falling apart and it seems as if menopause is activating it more.Not eating what im not supposed too,always feeling full, tired, eye sensitivity to sunlight, constant bumps in back of my throat, pain down my left leg. Going through more test.Why is it so hard to get help or is it because I was dismissed all these decades?Should I take legal action?Im Currently not doing well which is keeping me from holding a job and im getting older.I can't push through anymore.Im very much into natural supplements that help but im still declining with one thing after another. What miracle will help so I can get back in the production line to make money.

      That was the suggestion from my GI doc but I never book the medicine and maintained a strict gluten free diet. Actually, Italy is much more sensitive to gluten free diets than the US, I found.

      @Joe R are you saying that while traveling in Italy as a person with Celiac disease, you are eating gluten-containing foods and taking prednisone to dampen down the flares? Plumbago
