However, those with gluten sensitivity often show with anti-gliadin IgG markers first. There is even some reports--mostly from Finland and England through the work of Dr. Hadjivassiliou--that those with isolated anti-gliadin IgG titres are more likely to show neurologic indications of gluten sensitivity,

You may know that much of the work on gluten-mediated neuropathy has come from Cornell and the work of Dr. Latov, Dr. Chin, and Dr. Peter Green at the Celiac Center of Cornell/Columbia/Presbyterian, building on the Johns' Hopkins' work.

One of the best places to read about all this is through the Gluten File that jccglutenfree (Cara) has put together. It is linkable right though our own celiac section here:
