Ataxia and Celiac question

Are there any indications whether or not Gluten related Ataxia can occur outside of a diagnose of Celiac ?

I think the answer to your question is still unknown.  The UK seems to be the leading research center in the world for gluten ataxia:

I think there is a TTG6 antibodies test for gluten ataxia which is different than the TTG2 standard celiac screening test.  Not sure if you have to be on a full gluten diet for 8 to 12 weeks prior to the TTG6 test.

You have been a forum member for many years.  Is the gluten free diet not helping?  Are you sure you are gluten free?  Consider the Fasano diet for a few months which is basically no processed foods and no eating out.

I hope you figure it out.

I have symptoms of Ataxia, but I am fine with gluten and it seems to be either rice, casein, or soy causing my neurological symptoms. I was in the hospital last year and had 9 months of little to no symptoms until a week ago I had a very bad cross contamination and I've been ruined all week.

Ataxia can also be caused by diabetes, so consider a screening for that.

      I was undiagnosed for quite a few years. I now have neuropathy in my hands and feet. Be watchful of something like this and definitely see a neurologist if having symptoms like numbness in your extremities.
