Is sensitivity to gluten really the cause of fibromyalgia

So today I came across this clinical study that was published in 2014,

Fibromyalgia and non-celiac gluten sensitivity: a description with remission of fibromyalgia

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4209093/

It was done by researchers in Spain. It was a small test group but they followed people for 16 months and reported that some had remission of fibromyalgia after eliminating gluten from their diets.

Has anyone read this study or talked about it with their doctor? i'm sharing it with my doc to see what he says. Honestly, I don't want to get my hopes up on yet another potential treatment that doesn't work.

I know a lot of people out there believe in holistic remedies. No offense to anyone but I am only interested in clinical medical information.

If you know of a further study done since the time of the one in Spain, please pass it along. I feel like I am at the end of the internet with my search!

Booklvr, we keep discussions of diets and food on the Diet and Food Discussions thread. I'm moving this there.

I will say that is you have a sensitivity to gluten that it can cause symptoms. But I don't think anyone has gone pain-free from eliminating gluten...unless they didn't have Fibro in the first place. Foods make,no difference for me and many others on this forum.

I'm going to lock this thread now. I have placed your post in the Diet and Food Discussions Part 3 Thread.
