--though I am sorry for what brought you to us.

Neuropathy symptoms run the gamut. Many people report painful symptoms, especially if the small unmyelinated fibers that subsume the sensations of pain and temperature are affected, but other do not, especially if the nerves compromised are larger, myelinated nerves that subsume sensations such as vibration, mechanical touch, position sense, and motor functions.

And, yes, celiac/gluten sensitivity can lead to neuropathy, either through nutritional deficiency brought on by malabsoption of nutrients (particularly that of B vitamins and certain minerals) or directly through cross-reactivity of the antibodies with nerve epitopes.

Definitely take a look at our peripheral neuropathy and gluten/celiac forums:
