Can celiac disease mimic ms even after being treated with a strict gluten-free diet? could my untreated celiac have caused my brain lesions?

Celiac disease: Celiac disease as an autoimmune disease may mimic other auto immune disease like MS. I don!t believe celiac disease forms brain lesions

See below: Celiac disease does NOT mimic MS lesions on MRI, and yours may be due to migraine, or prior head trauma. However, Celiac can cause a small fibre peripheral neuropathy, which might mimic MS symptoms. Interestingly, I find some MS pts with gluten sensitivity do get worse when they consume gluten.
