"Not informed"

About: Dr G Horton's Practice

I have been having neurological issues for over 2 years aswell as stomach issues. I was diagnosed with cd a little over a year and a half ago so have to completely avoid gluten. I've been trying to get my neurological issues

to get addressed for years but met with such resistance. told by gp it's anxiety for years even though gluten ataxia and gluten neuropathy are linked to cd.

My question is how much research does this surgery put into getting information? Because it seems outdated. Being gf hasn't repaired the nerve damage and impacts my everyday life. I was told for probably the 8th time that the neurological issues are down to anxiety. Either they think I'm lying or do really believe it's anxiety.

Late last year I asked to be referred to a neurologist but I come to find out that the referral is for ent which doesn't make any sense whatsoever. I believe that I have gluten ataxia and neuropathy but I've been put in for a ent?

It's frustrating using this surgery because they misinformed and just don't do things right.
