i was discussing with a friend about the neurological effects of celiac.

she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and she thinks it could be linked to her celiac disease, since i’m a psychology student she wanted to know if it was true.

i told her i don’t think there’s any link between the two, celiac is genetically determined (or at least partially) while bpd is not and it usually comes from childhood trauma, but i then realised i know a lot people who have both conditions, actually most people with celiac i know have bpd as well and so do i. i’ve tried to google it but i found nothing.

does anyone believe there is a link between these conditions?

I haven't heard that that there is a statistical correlation between BPD and celiac disease specifically but it is well-established that there is a connection between celiac disease and some other mental health disorders such as depression and, I think, anxiety disorder. These would fit under the general heading, perhaps, of neurological disorders tied to celiac disease (and also NCGS).

I would be skeptical to conclude that there is no genetic component to BPD. Celiac disease itself involves both a genetic component and a triggering stress component. Many people have the genes but most of them don't develop celiac disease because the stress trigger never happens. Think about it. Why would two people exposed to the same childhood trauma respond differently. One would develop BPD and the other would not. There has to be something hardwired there that is different between the two.

Yes, I believe that Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of nutrients which results in alterations in brain function.  I know because I've been there.  Read my blog for my story and more research links (click on my name).

Doctors cannot separate physical health from mental health.  Brain health (mental health) is dependent on physical health.

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run.

      EMA Result

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @mike101020! First, what was the reference range for the ttg-iga blood test? Can't tell much from the raw score you gave because different labs use different reference ranges. Second, there are some non celiac medical conditions, some medications and even some non-gluten food proteins that can cause elevated...

Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.

Can't tell much from the raw score you gave because different labs use different reference ranges. Second, there are some non celiac medical conditions, some medications and even some non-gluten food proteins that can cause elevated celiac blood antibodies in some individuals. The most likely explanation is celiac disease but it is not quite a slam dunk. The endoscopy/biopsy is considered the gold standard for celiac disease diagnosis and serves as confirmation of elevated blood antibody levels from the blood testing.

      EMA Result

      Hi, I recently was informed by my doctor that I had scored 9.8 on my ttgl blood test and a follow up EMA test was positive.   I am no waiting for a biopsy but have read online that if your EMA is positive then that pretty much confirms celiac. However is this actually true because if it it is what is the point of the biopsy?   Thanks for any help
