Gluten Ataxia - What You Need to Know About This Neurological Condition Ep. 215

The Healthy Celiac Podcast

If you’ve been dealing with slurred speech, balance problems, hand tremors, or other strange neurological symptoms and have been told it’s just stress or anxiety, this episode is for you. We’re diving into gluten ataxia, a rare autoimmune condition triggered by gluten that affects the brain, not the gut.

You’ll learn

• What gluten ataxia is and how it’s different from typical celiac disease
• The key symptoms (that often get brushed off or misdiagnosed)
• What to ask your doctor for (including specific tests like TG6 antibodies)
• What to expect in terms of recovery
• How to support your healing if you’ve been affected

This episode was inspired by a listener named Kelly, who has been dealing with this for years without clear answers.
