Hi,

New to this forum but not to NeuroTalk (have been on the Peripheral Neuropathy forum for several months due to non-length dependent small fiber neuropathy. Do recognize some people here from the PN forum.

Have accepted, after searching around for months for other causes, that the Sjogren's Syndrome dx I was given last winter and that was reinforced for me last week, is the underlying cause of the neuropathy. Also have Hashimoto's which is often another component of Sjogren's.

Given that Sjogren's is an AI where the white cells go on an attacking rampage against the self because they think some invader has breached the walls when it hasn't, is it possible that gluten/fructose caused the Sjogren's with the subsequent neuropathy?
