So now my rheumy is telling me the positive ANA is from the RA, meanwhile my neuropathy worsens and is now literally everywhere... scalp, face, arms, legs, feet, hands, etc.



My primary decided to throw in the anti-gliadin IgA and IgG. The IgG was negative, while the anti-gliadin IgA was positive. I have no real idea what this means? My other celiac test was negative (the tTG-IgA Test) So... I don't have celiac, but maybe a gluten sensitivity?



Can gluten cause neuropathy?? I'm not sure what this means.



Any ideas? thank you!


Oh yes it can! It can cause major joint problems as well. Are you going for the endoscopy? If a blood test came up positive for me, I would never eat gluten again. Have you done a 6 month trial of gluten free?
