Could my paralysis be due to gluten poisoning or allergies?
Patient: I have MS. When I eat wheat products my symptoms are exacerbated. The numbness in my feet spreads. Could my paralysis be due to gluten poisoning/ allergies? Any recommendations onhoq to best detox my body and how long it will take to get it totally out of my system. Doctor: Hello,  Gluten sensitivity may cause poor absorption of nutrients like vitamin b12 and iron.   Lead to peripheral neuropathy. Also, check for other possibilities like diabetes or autoimmune disease etc.  Please check your blood sugar and hemoglobin levels. Serum b 12 and folic acid may also useful.  Take vit D and folic acid with b12 supplement. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Penchila Prasad Kandikattu , Internal Medicine Specialist
