Celiac Neuropathy: A Case Report from Kashmir (India).
Celiac disease is considered to be rare in parts of the world where rice is a staple cereal. Kashmir is one of such places. We present an adult Kashmiri man, who had peripheral neuropathy, which turned out to be associated with celiac disease and improved remarkably with total elimination of gluten containing foods. This is probably the first case of celiac neuropathy reported from India.
