A member asked:

Are there any kinds of gi diseases that cause axonal neuropathy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Some: Axonal small fibre neuropathies can occur from pernicious anemia, gastric cells, and celiac disease, small intestine, but digestive issues can accompany alcohol nutritional and diabetic problems, and these can cause large fiber axonal neuopathies. Porphyria can cause axonal issues and the intermittent form can cause attacks of stomach pain.
