    Celiac.com 09/26/2022 - Celiac disease is on the rise, and so are the gastrointestinal and other symptoms that go with it. A number of researchers have documented connections between various psychiatric disorders and celiac disease. However, the relationship between celiac disease, and such psychiatric disorders is not well studied or documented. 

    A team of researchers recently set out to provide a greater understanding of the existing evidence and theories surrounding psychiatric manifestations of celiac disease.

     The research team included Emma Clappison, Marios Hadjivassiliou, and Panagiotis Zis. They are variously affiliated with the Medical School of the University of Sheffield, Sheffield, and the Academic Department of Neurosciences, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and University of Sheffield, Sheffield.

    Their systematic review and meta-analysis appears in a special issue on gluten-related disorders, titled, Time to Move from Gut to Brain.

    The team conducted a search of online medical literature search using PubMed, pulling data on rates of celiac disease and psychiatric disorders from eligible articles. They then conducted a meta analysis of odds ratios. For their review, the team found a total of 37 articles that met their eligibility parameters. 

    Compared with healthy controls, the team found people with celiac disease to have a significantly higher risk for autistic spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. They found no significant differences for bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. 

    The study revealed that celiac disease is associated with a higher risk of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, along with ASD and ADHD. 

    The team is calling for more research into the specific biological reasons underpinning this connection, along with the potential benefits of a gluten free diet in improving these conditions.

    To All,

    It might be because Celiac's are often low in in many B-Vitamins (and commonly Magnesium as well).

    Here is a nice overview article that explains how B-Vitamins regulate inflammation in the body triggering Depression symptom's by their involvement in Cytokine production.

    Entitled "The effects of vitamin B (aka commmonly known as B-Vitamins) on the immune/cytokine network and their involvement in depression"

    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.

      Gotcha. I'll give 100% gluten-free a whirl after my testing concludes. I know the traditional endoscopy is the gold standard, but I've already had that done and it was normal, so my gastro wants to do a capsule endo to try to cover more surface area and see if she can see anything further than the traditional endo... If I do have Celiac, I just seem to...

      Given your long list of symptoms it would make sense to see if a 100% gluten-free diet helps relieve them, especially the anemia, and if so, it would make sense to just stay 100% gluten-free. Also, capsule endoscopy is not ideal for diagnosing celiac disease, as subtle villi damage cannot be detect by it.
