Gluten Sensitivity Symptoms

7. Numb Limbs
Neuropathy refers to the damage of the nervous system away from the brain, and one of the most common symptoms of the condition is numbness. It happens because the damage to the nerves means that messages are not able to travel to and from the brain as they would usually be able to.
Patients with a sensitivity to gluten can experience numb limbs as a symptom of their condition. It is not known exactly why this happens, but it is thought that it might be something to do with the presence of antibodies that are associated with a sensitivity to gluten. Some people will also feel a tingling sensation.
