Wow! That is really interesting!. I was tested for celiac several years ago, but the results were negative - so that's not my issue.
I was tested for Celiac and was negative. I asked my GP because my son was diagnosed with celiac disease about 20 years ago. The diet is soo easy now, with all of the gluten free items. I used to have to make his bread with about 6 different flours (rice, tapioca, etc) in a bread maker used for only gf flours.
This is great to bring up because it opens the door to anyone who has not had an extensive and thorough workup by their neurologist.
Every person diagnosed with SFN should have "the works" to determine your underlying cause. If you neurologist does not take this route then you have every right to ask for it, as long as you can afford of course.
My workup took 4 months to complete....from blood work to spinal tap. Leave no stone unturned.
