Abstract
Our experience with one patient and literature review reveals that patients with chronic gluten enteropathy and severe steatorrhea may develop a generalized peripheral neuropathy of the distal axonopathy type. Vitamin levels are usually normal, and the neuropathy appears to respond to gluten restriction.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
