I have Celiac disease and I have perpherial neuropathy from the neck down. I have severe pain in my hands which makes it very hard to function in my world. I do not think that Celiac caused my neuropathy hwever convincing my physicans has not been successful. I would like to know if anyone else is suffering from neuropathy from Celiac disease.

Hi,

The Gluten File is probably the best source for gluten/celiac information. I suggest you explore this weekend and then look for replies to your question after the weekend (which tend to be slower).

Also, the peripheral neuropathy forum here is exceptional.

I also have started to develop neuropathy which is progressive,you might need to see a neurologist and have him evaluate your B12 and B6 levels,without these levels being where they should be causes the neuropathy.Because you are a celiac,your damaged flora and villi cannot process your food to support the use of the B vitamins.I hope you are practicing the gluten free diet,it's the only way to begin healing the flora and villi. It's very difficult to practice this lifestyle,one needs a nutrishionist to help you through it.Good luck and god bless. ccardsr
