If you are sensitive to gluten and have neuropathy, you must cut all gluten (and sugar) out of your diet immediately. It may take a while to see the difference, but you're putting inflammatory foods into your body. I have SFN and have completely cut out gluten, sugar (including things like wine), dairy and all processed foods. If you're not ready to make those changes, you aren't giving yourself the opportunity to get better. It's not easy, but it is worth it!

I have sfn but I don't believe I have gluten sensitivity. My neurologist recommended I greatly reduce carbs and sugar. What a difference it has made! My feet and calves still burn but not near as intensely. On special occasions, I will have a wine, dessert or pizza and then notice an increase in burning by the next morning.

What changes did you see in your discomfort level since your dietary change? THX
