Celiac.com 03/18/2020 - Researchers are still debating the extent to which celiac disease might cause brain damage. Some research has indicated that celiac disease can trigger changes to brain white matter, among other potential issues.
A team of researchers recently set out to validate previous reports, we investigated the prevalence of neuropsychological dysfunction in persons with celiac disease included in the National UK Biobank, which contains experimental medical data from 500,000 adults in the United Kingdom.
The research team included I.D. Croall, D.S. Sanders, M. Hadjivassiliou, and N. Hoggard. They are variously affiliated with the University of Sheffield, Academic Unit of Radiology; the Academic Unit of Gastroenterology; and the Department of Neurology at Royal...

Celiac.com 08/25/2020 - A number of studies describe psychological disorders, in addition to other extra intestinal manifestations of celiac disease, such as fatigue, neurological conditions including headache and neuropathy. However,  there hasn't been study with robust enough data to provide accurate risk estimates.
In an effort to obtain accurate risk estimates, Jonas F. Ludvigsson, MD, PhD, of the department of medical epidemiology and biostatistics at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, and colleagues analyzed data from the Swedish nationwide ESPRESSO cohort to explore associations between childhood celiac disease and psychiatric disorders. 
They matched nearly 20,000 children with biopsy verified celiac with up to five of 100,000 reference children, and gathered data o...

Celiac.com 12/29/2020 - Early-onset depression is associated with poor health outcomes over the long term. However, researchers still don't know if early depression might be connected with specific diseases and premature death, and whether these connections are independent of psychiatric comorbidity.
A team of researchers recently set out to quantify the association of youth depression with subsequent diagnoses of numerous somatic diseases and mortality. Their study shows that people who suffer from depression in youth face higher risks of subsequent disease and death.
The research team included Marica Leone, BSc; Ralf Kuja-Halkola, PhD; Amy Leval, PhD; Brian M. D’Onofrio, PhD; Henrik Larsson, PhD; Paul Lichtenstein, PhD; and Sarah E. Bergen, PhD.
They are variously a...

Celiac.com 02/15/2021 - A number of studies have tied celiac disease to psychiatric disorders, but there is still not much good data to support the connection. To get a better picture of the issue, a team of researchers recently set out to describe the epidemiology of several psychiatric disorders in celiac disease.
The research team included Motasem Alkhayyat, Thabet Qapaja, Manik Aggarwal, Ashraf Almomani,  Mohammad Abureesh, Omaymah Al‐otoom, Mohammad Zmaili, Emad Mansoor, and Mohannad Abou Saleh.
They are variously affiliated with the Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, Ohio; the Department of Internal Medicine, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, Ohio; the Department of Gastroenterology, University Hos...
