Another article to look at on Yahoo: spinocerebellar ataxia gluten . The second article that came up was short and good. The tests you would need to check out this possibility of having gluten associated disease are for the genes: HLA DQ2.5 and HLA DQ8 and the associated antibody studies: anti-gliadin IgG Elisa and IgA Elisa, anti-endomesial IgA IFA, and anti-human tissue transglutaminase. If you test positive for this disease a strict gluten free diet will probably arrest or may reverse your disease process.
