It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

I just came across this article looking at neuromuscular disorders, one of which was mononeuropathy multiplex, as a presenting feature of celiac. http://jnnp.bmj.com/content/63/6/770.full

They stated: "Neurological symptoms antedated the diagnosis of celiac disease in all, and most had minimal or no gastrointestinal symptoms at the onset of the neuromuscular disorder.

The study is small and dated, but thought it might be helpful. Have you had genetic testing to see if you have any Celiac markers?
I have not had genetic testing yet. After a visit to the orthopedic surgeon and him reviewing my EMG tests (which the doctor explained incorrectly to me), I do have ulnar nerve entrapment.

I've got to see a hand specialist to get some sort of brace and some sort of exercises. If, after 4-6 weeks and no noticeable improvement I'll need surgery to move the nerve.
