Have you had genetic testing regarding your spinocerebellar ataxia? The genes have been identified. I carry one of the genes called HLA DQ2.5 . This topic may need to be approached as a separate thread. This gene causes a host of autoimmune diseases one of which is celiac sprue. There are a few documented cases of dystonia patients who had resolution of their dystonia when the sprue was treated with a gluten free diet. Douglas Whitley MD
