I have no pain and only numbness in my toes. I do get tingling from time to time in feet and I had felt a bit wobbly when exercising. In April I had an EMG test--ordered by my neurologist and was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy. I also had unexplained weight loss so I underwent scans, MRI,blood work and ultra sound to rule out cancer. In the meantime, I did some research on vitamins as well as diet. I looked at dietary recommendations for MS and RA and decided to cut back on sugar and gluten. At my visit to the neurologist this past week, when I mentioned the vitamin regimen and the dietary modifications, he suggested a blood test for celiac disease and according to the blood test, I have celiac disease--which probably explains the neuropathy and weight loss. I am awaiting my doctor's input but its pretty clear that I now must avoid gluten to restore my health as much as possible. I am finding out that with neuropathy--especially non-diabetic groups--we must be our own advocates, stay focused and do as much as we have in our power to try to heal. I hope you feel better and can get out of pain.

@arcuri24 I know this is a lot to ask, but I am wondering if you remember what MRIs and Ultrasounds and Blood work besides cmp, and CBC you had to rule out Cancer (due to your weight loss)? What type of doctor ordered these tests for you?
