Beleive me, there is nothing simple about gluten intolerance. When you are intolerant and still eating gluten, many do not absorb vitamins and minerals, in turn causing neuropathy. Gluten intolerance tends to run in families too, which also means, the rest of your family could have this same issue. Not everyonew with gluten intolerance will have stomach issues, some have only neuropathy symptoms. There is no RX for gluten intolerance, just staying away from gluten, which is much more difficult than most believe.

If I was still eating gluten, I'm positive my neuropathy would be much worse.

Have you had B12 levels checked, or Vit D? My issues are caused by the gluten causing me to be B12 deficient.
