Original question:
I'm reading a book right now about taking care of our immune systems, and it
mentions that sedimentation rate correlates to immune system activity.  So,
I am wondering if a high sed rate is seen in people with undiagnosed gluten
intolerance.  The reason I ask is that before I was diagnosed, I had
peripheral neuropathy and a high sed rate.  Tests for diabetes, lupus, MS,
etc. were all negative.  After I went gf on the advice of a naturopath, the
PN went away and the sed rate went back to normal. 

Hi,

Thanks to everyone who emailed me.  I'm sorry this summary took so long to send out.  I got glutened in the meantime, so I wasn't quite up to it.  I should have mentioned that after the naturopath suggested a gf diet, I was tested positive by EnteroLab.  The book I'm reading is UltraLongevity by Mark Liponis, MD.  I received 11 responses, 3 said they also had high sed rates before going gluten free.  Several mentioned that sed rate is not specific to gluten sensitivity, but merely a sign that there is inflammation in the body.  One person asked for an explanation of sed rate.  Here's a link: http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/sedimentation-rate .
One person sent an article describing 3 cases where the patient was diagnosed with Lupus when they actually had CD.  Email me if you'd like a copy of the article, and I'll send it to you.

Regards,

Marian
