Every autoimmune disease has a neurological side. What neurological symptoms have you experienced since your diagnosis?

Cognitive functions, irritability, essential tremor, vision and migraine issues, gas, bloat, water like stool, anal leaking.

How do you cope with these symptoms?

Gluten and grains free, no fruit except limited berries, no dairy, low carb low fat, lots of water. I take Olestyr daily.

Did your neurological symptoms disappear once you adopted a gluten-free diet?

At times. But my condition is rarely not a concern.
