Can you have gluten sensitivity without Celiac?
I've had a myriad of tests after experiencing a small fiber-like neuropathy for the last year. The only thing that came out abnormal was a positive gliadin reading of 38. My neuro thought I might have Celiac so I went to a GI specialist. I had an endoscopy and the results were negative for celiac. So they did a prometheus blood test to check me for a celiac gene called DQ alpha and beta 1. The results say "yes" for celiac gene pairs present. I've been gluten free for about 4 months now and the neuropathy is lessening, although not completely gone.
My question is could I just have gluten sensitivity and not have Celiac? Are they different? I have no other symptoms. Thanks.
