So they did a prometheus blood test to check me for a celiac gene called DQ alpha and beta 1. The results say "yes" for celiac gene pairs present. I've been gluten free for about 4 months now and the neuropathy is lessening, although not completely gone.
My question is could I just have gluten sensitivity and not have Celiac? Are they different? I have no other symptoms. Thanks.

My apologies neurocitizen for the hijack of your thread! I should have begun a new topic!! And I thank you for the start of the thread for it was a question of mine also - for my daughter's recent diagnose.
Healthy wishes to you.
