As for the IgA deposits that can be seen in tissue samples, the best I can do is point you to another article. I don't have any medical or lab background to know the exact method. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I was wrong in saying the lab in Germany was doing testing. They're actually producing the ELISA test
kits for testing TG6 antibody presence. The name of the company Zedira. If you look under "products for celiac disease diagnosis" then click ELISA kits, you'll see two new entries for TG6 kits, one for IgA and one for IgG.
I believe Dr. H's research has connected the presence of TG6 antibodies with gluten ataxia, but I don't know if the same is true for gluten neuropathy.
Regarding the IgA deposits, I'm reminded of the line from Ghostbusters: "We'd like to get a sample of your brain tissue." Um.... I think maybe I'll hold off on this particular test.
