Fellow sufferers,
Today i came across this article (study report) on Celiac Disease and autoimmunity. Among other things it describes the relation between ataxia and gluten, mainly from previous reports by Hadjivassiliou. But apparently there are loads more links between gluten and autoimmune diseases.
Here is a link to the document on the web. I've included the whole article in PDF format in case it will be taken offline at some point.
