Default Looking for a neuro that knows about celiac

Hello,

I have had an undiagnosed gluten problem for years and I think it has started to affect my brain and nervous system recently.

The more I research I am pretty concerned about my situation. It seems like sometimes your immune system instead of reacting to the gluten, can actually mistake the gluten, attacking various tissues in the brain and cause a problem. Not sure if its happening in my case, but I need to check it out asap.

I live in Florida and currently looking for a neurologist who knows about gluten and the brain, and hopefully a good neurologist in general, etc.
I am also willing to travel a little ways somewhere in the Southeast. I am waiting to get into Mayo in Jacksonville, and Shands at Florida, but that could take a few months.

If you could recommend someone or point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful. Thank you.
