LONG-TERM EEG-EXAMINATIONS IN CHILDREN WITH COELIAC DISEASE

Neurological manifestations in coeliac disease (CD) have been known for a long time. In generally they are the consequence of malabsorption. 

In a previous study we could show by using EEG-examinations, that a gluten-containing diet in children with CD can lead to cerebral alterations (1). 

Long-term EEG-investigations have been carried out in 19 of these patients (up to 7.8 year). We found, despite re-introduc tion of a strict glutenfree diet and normalization of small intestinal architecture the EEG disturbances can persist. We assume, there is primarily in the floride phase of disease a functional-metabolic disturbance followed by morphologic changes. Gluten challenge tests to confirm the diagnosis, if necessary, should therefore not be performed until the age of 6, that is after the completion of cell differentiation in the brain and last as short as possible.

I'm a 14 year old girl from Norway with celiac, and I also want to become an exchange student in USA! I have one more ''problem'', I have diabetes too.. So, it is going to be a hard job finding someone who want me, but do you think it is possible?<br/><br/>
