This is the link to the Gluten File online neuropathy section:

I have been a member for a while. I have had idiopathic sensory dominant pn for 10 years. I am 68. A lumbar puncture 2 years ago revealed elevated protein levels (65) and my neurologist diagnosed sensory dominant CIDP and began Ivig. After one year my nerves studies showed some improvement, although slight. About 6 mos ago my internist decided to test me for CD. I tested positive for one celiac disease anti-body as well as positive for cd genetic marker. After When I told my neurologist he said "You know we (referring to neurologist) do not routinely test for this, but I certainly will from now on." It was an "ah ha" moment for him and I was impressed with receptivity. I have since been on a glutin-free diet, however, with little improvement. I have always found mrsD's threads to be extremely informative and wondering if you could point me toward any updated research,(2011-2013) especially by Dr. Latov, related to the relationship between CE and PN.
