Appointment prep
Prepare for a celiac disease evaluation (neurological focus)
Gluten-related ataxia, neuropathy, brain fog, and dermatitis herpetiformis can occur with minimal GI symptoms. Medvo helps document the full spectrum and request serology and endoscopy.
Symptoms patients describe
- · Unexplained ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, or seizures
- · Brain fog, fatigue, depression, dermatitis herpetiformis rash
- · Anemia, bone loss, family history, or minimal GI complaints
Tests & referrals to request
Framed as evaluation — your clinician decides what is appropriate.
- · Tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA), total IgA, endomysial antibodies
- · Upper endoscopy with multiple duodenal biopsies (even if serology negative in some cases)
- · Referral to gastroenterologist and strict gluten-free diet discussion
If you've been dismissed
- · Told 'just IBS' or 'stress' for years
- · No serology or biopsy despite classic neurological or dermatologic features
