TG6 , gluten ataxia, antibodies and a strict diet

[cyclist49]

I have been diagnosed with Idiopathic Cerebellum Ataxia for 6 years . My consultant recently arranged for a TG6 test at Sheffield hospital . The result came back as mildly positive ( 4.2 with 4.0 as normal ) As I understand it , a strict gluten free diet should remove antibodies from the body preventing antibodies attacking the balance centre of the brain . This may result in stabilisation of the disease.

My question is :If one has gluten sensitivity and removing antibodies can stabilise the condition , why does Sheffield insist the diet must be strictly gluten free. I would have thought that if the diet was 95% gluten free this could also result in some stabilisation

I would appreciate peoples views. It seems strange to insist on strict diet as being essential, especially when it is uncertain if any improvement will be gained
