Key result
Gluten sensitivity presents with diverse neurological manifestations without gut involvement, requiring diagnostic awareness.
Why the study?
Neurologists need to recognize that gluten sensitivity can cause neurological disease without gut involvement and understand its common presentations and diagnosis.
Gluten sensitivity can present with neurological manifestations without gut involvement, requiring neurologists to be familiar with its diagnosis.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May prompt gluten sensitivity evaluation in unexplained neurology; leaves open the need for prospective diagnostic validation.
It has taken nearly 2000 years to appreciate that a common dietary protein introduced to the human diet relatively late in evolutionary terms (some 10 000 years ago), can produce human disease not only of the gut but also the skin and the nervous system.The protean neurological manifestations of gluten sensitivity can occur without gut involvement and neurologists must therefore become familiar with the common neurological presentations and means of diagnosis of this disease.

Marios Hadjivassiliou (2002) conducted a review in Gluten sensitivity. Gluten was evaluated. Gluten sensitivity can present with protean neurological manifestations without gut involvement, requiring neurologists to become familiar with its diagnosis.
