Default Celiac/gluten related PN

Hi Folks


I have been suffering from Peripheral Neuropathy for the last 4-5 months. I have gone off allopurinol for my gout (which I suspected initially as the cause) and also taking supplements (R-ALA, ALC, vItamin B12, omega 3) to combat my neuropathy. I did an EMG recently and some bloodwork (copper, zinc, immunoglobulin, protein electrophoresis) which came back normal. I have an MRI scheduled for next month.

I also did a celiac profile test and was normal on immunoglobulin igg and transglutaminase iga but high on deamidated gliadin igg antibodies. Does it mean a conclusive evidence of celiac with normal tranglutaminase but high DGA? Do you think a biopsy is warranted? I started to eat gluten free a couple of days ago, to see if it helps. Any opinions advice is appreciated. Thanks and have a good day..
