This is very important in regard to testing for gluten sensitivity when the presenting or sole feature is neurological disease. The antibodies used to screen for celiac disease , Anti-tTG (TG2) and Deamidated Gliadin antibodies, are unlikely to be present. The original Antigliadin antibody test still plays an important role in those who may have gluten sensitivity without enteropathy.

Also of note in the paper below is the relatively low positivity of the "celiac" antibodies even in those with enteropathy (only 70-80% in those with enteropathy). Quote:
For more detailed information about diagnostic testing see the Gluten File - Diagnostic Testing page.
