If you check out The Gluten File linked in my signature and scan down the right bar, you will see a page on diagnostic testing. The most important antibody tests to determine if you have gluten sensitivity are the antigliadin IgA and IgG. There is also a page on neuropathy that might be of interest to you, and you might find others applicable as well.

You might consider having your doctor contact one of these doctors~ both expert in the field of gluten sensitivity and neurological disease. They would be best able to suggest the correct diagnostic testing for antibodies associated with neurological disease. I have read that antiganglioside antibodies can be associated, but there are others that can be as well. I've also read that IVIG therapy is sometimes used.
