Untreated celiac disease can definitely lead to many nervous system issues. In some people it manifests as a brain/nerve disease, and we have many articles on this topic here:

https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/ataxia-nerve-disease-neuropathy-brain-damage-and-celiac-disease/ 

and this article, although it's older, sums it up well:

Yes. As mentioned above by admin it does. In my experience my short term memory got thrown off. Sometimes focus as well. Mind drifted more easily. I would have to turn around at end of block to check if I closed the garage door. I just left from. Our garage  repairman actually put in a delay for me last time he was out. I have to hit the garage door button twice to close. It helps me. 

That was a reoccurring problem I had when undiagnosed at my last home. Also, one that re occured at this home during and after my gluten challenge.

This is one example I can think of. My long term doesn't seem to struggle as much, but I am told my long term is very good from people who know me.

Absolutely. I have this bad habit of talking to myself that started when I was a kid and never really stopped. I think it was my coping mechanism for the brain fog. I don't have short term memory loss but I got bullied a lot and thought I was crazy until I admitted that I talked to myself to someone and they were like "dude everyone does that, it's only crazy if someone answers"

notme Experienced

yes, I have experienced this - didn't realize I was compensating for my memory by tricking myself - like:  when I see this, i'm going to remember to bring the post office keys when I go out.

I still do it, but not as much.  writing stuff down helps, too.  lists help also, as long as you remember to take it with you!!  lolz  :D

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?

      I can eat wheat products safely and without discomfort when traveling to Mexico, Outer Mongolia, and Japan. I feel that US wheat, barley, and rye are grown from genetically-modified seeds that have had something unhealthy done to them, that causes a bad reaction in many of us.

      I think all barley and barley malt  have gluten. I would avoid it. The only gluten-free beer I've tried that tastes good is by Holidaily, a Colorado brewery. Their Fat Randy's IPA is great, except that it's almost impossible to find and grocers won't order it (they're at the mercy of their "food distributors," who seem to hate Holidaily). If you can find any Holidaily, try it--it's great. Never mind Spain -;)
