Autoimmune disease can be connected to gluten intolerance.

Here is a very complete website to study:

jccgf is a member here too, and you can PM her with questions, and also visit our gluten forum here. There are blood tests for this and if you have GI symptoms, eventually a doctor will want to do a scope and see the lining. There are also stool tests, that can determine your genetic contribution. Not all gluten intolerance is frank Celiac in presentation. Many acquire gluten intolerance over time. One trigger in studies is implied today, and that is use of NSAIDs. If one is intolerant to gluten there can be malabsorption of nutrients, due to the nature of this inflammation. So secondary nutrient losses is common with this.

Whole seeds and nuts are good providers of essential fatty acids, and magnesium. They are called germinal foods, containing many trace elements needed by a new plant to get growing. So they are very nutritious for us too.

MSG is very bad for anyone with a neuro problem. It cannot be handled by the body easily (we are designed to consume glutamate that is bonded to proteins --and slowly absorbed into tissues). MSG is a potent fast acting glutamate and also triggers the NMDA receptors which are pain gatekeepers. MSG is also neuroexcitatory in the brain. Many restaurants use MSG heavily to make the food more "flavorful" and the result can be tough on the body. Many soups canned and in restaurants are heavy in this. Progresso now makes a MSG free soup, which is really nice.

Whole foods like fruits and vegetables contain natural antioxidants which act like anti-inflammatories in the body. So these are beneficial for anyone with a neuro problem.

So, yes, the answer to your question is that you can investigate diet and may see some symptom improvement, less fatigue and more energy.
