Another condition that often goes hand in hand with gluten sensitivity is Hashimoto's Encephalopathy. It can also cause ataxia and speech disturbances. It's diagnosed by checking thyroid antibodies (to thyroglobulin and thyroperoxidase), even if hormone levels are okay. It's treated with steroids. Most doctors have not heard of it, though.

Best Wishes.
