Neurological complications of coeliac disease – (08-05-02)



Neurological complications of coeliac disease

While this is only a short abstract of a larger review article, it cements the fact that allergy to gluten containing grains (mainly wheat) can have a major impact on the rest of the body; in this case the neurological system. Chalk up effects on the GI system, skin and increased auto-antibodies to thyroid. If patients are unsure, an elimination diet avoiding wheat for at least 2 wks can be used. The beauty of an approach like this is that no one I’ve ever recommended an elimination diet for has ever died… If you don’t like this approach, serum transglutaminase levels can be used as a marker for coeliac disease.
