I have food allergies. I notice that when I eliminate those foods, my neuropathy sometimes gets a little better. I also have a Vitamin D deficiency. My neurologist said that also can cause my neuropathy.

That's interesting about the vitamin D. I also have wondered if that could be the cause of my neuropathy but I have been unable to find any supporting evidence of that. Where is your neuropathy affecting you if you don't mind me asking?

I feel your pain. This is a horrible thing to deal with everyday. For both our sakes I hope it is the D, but it can be caused by so many things it's hard to tell. |

My B12 has always been normal at around 500-600 every time I test. I have not been tested for celiac though or gluten sensitivity. That would be a blessing if that was my problem. At least that's how I feel. But my vitamin levels are normal all except for D and iron. Would it be possible to have a gluten intolerance with neurological symptoms but still have normal vitamin levels?

--to have gluten intolerance presenting as neurological symptoms; jcc's The Gluten File has a lot of information on this (especially that compiled by Dr. Hadijvassiliou):
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread1872.html Also, a vitamin B12 level between 500-600 is borderline to me (especially if you're NOT vegetarian); there have been reports of people having symptoms of B12 deficiency at times even with levels up to 700; it depends on how much active B12 is being used (whether there are methylation problems, for example). The homocysteine and methylomaic acid (MMA) tests might be more accurate indicators of whether you're actually at good levels of usable B12. |
