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.
You can have non-celiac gluten sensitivity. *edit* In essence, it is possible to have gluten sensitivity in the absence of celiac disease. *edit*
