The neurology of gluten sensitivity: science vs. conviction

Abstract

The proliferation of publications on the neurological manifestations of gluten sensitivity reflects a surge of interest in this fascinating group of immune-mediated diseases. Thorough knowledge of the literature on the subject is essential to avoid the bias in interpretation of such studies apparent in some recent editorials, in particular the article by Pengiran Tengah and Wills in the December 2003 issue of Practical Neurology.
