If you have been supplementing sporadically with B12, your level might show higher than it was at its lowest point. One needs to get the level up into upper range, and keep it there... and over time many to all of the symptoms may resolve. For me, lots of things improved within a couple of months, but other things slowly improved over a number of years.

Some more excerpts on neuropathy in gluten sensitivity:

Quote:

"But the two things which are relevant to CD are nutrition and immunity. People with CD have nutritional deficits because of malabsorption; common causes of neuropathy are B12 deficiency, B1 deficiency, B6 deficiency, and Vitamin E deficiency. Neuropathies are also commonly caused by the immune system through autoimmune mechanisims."..."Latov commented that 20-25% of people with CD might have neuropathy."
