I too get burning in my hands when I eat gluten. I was told I have celiacs two years ago when my immune system crashed. The amount of energy I got after dropping the gluten was incredible. Before I was diagnosed it was like I had the flue all the time.

I had all kinds of test to find it. Took a couple months of tests. Turns out I had symptoms for years and just thought nothing of them because they changed with where my body put the gluten.

Glad you found out it was the gluten. I don't wish the nerve pain on anyone.

Thanks, I forgot to mention one other big plus. For 3 years I have been suffering with Carpal Tunnel which I attributed to hours on the computer and my bicycle riding, (I do 30 to 50 mile bike rides). With this gluten-free diet and the supplements,the Carpal Tunnel has disappeared.

found this in the Gluten Free society. I was surprised, I learned something new. They are saying Carpel Tunnel may also be caused by gluten.

Headaches, Depression, Nerve Damage, and Seizures. What They All Have in Common
In one study, 70% of gluten intolerant patients had social phobias. Depression was found in 52%. These are neurological manifestations of the disease, or are related to the disease, and they are not the only ones either.

Italian researchers found that 22.5% of the patients with gluten intolerance had headaches, depression, epilepsy, & nerve entrapment syndromes such as carpal tunnel syndrome, and peripheral neuropathy.
The immune system was clearly involved in about 42% of the patients, as antibody reactivity to neural(nerve) antigens was detected. Interestingly, those who had antibodies to neural antigens did not necessarily have neurological problems. This indicates that these problems may take awhile to manifest.
