Hi List-

My worst gluten symptom is ataxia - including slurred speech and other
forms of cognitive impairment.  It totally disables me to the point where I
can't drive or hold a job. I'm having an MRI to take a peak at the issue on
10/15 and hope to find any information from others with similar experience.

I'm also considering ingesting gluten to trigger symptoms to coincide with
the test.  Does anyone know if the brain function that presents as ataxia
will show up on an MRI?

It takes only a few molecules of gluten to trigger me - any suggestions
about what I should poison myself with? The thought of eating gluten gives
me fright - I don't know how I'll bring myself to do it, but it seems like
the only way to prove the extent of my illness.  Your k
ind thoughts please.

Nancy in Boston
