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.  

If a person is not getting the proper fuel for their brain to function properly, they are going to have Brain health problems.

I'm happy to discuss this further if you have more questions. 🐱

      Help with genetic testing

      By RMJ · Posted

      HLA-DQ2 is NOT a continuum 2.01 to 2.99, but I don’t understand HLA genetics well enough to explain it further.  It is not just one gene that is either this or that.

      Help with genetic testing

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, I'm taking a guess here. We are used to hearing in layman terms that having either the HLA-DQ2 or the HLA-DQ8 gene, either heterozygous or homozygous, presents the possibility of developing active celiac disease. So, I'm guessing that the HLA-DQ2 gene is actually a range of variants (2.01-2.99) with HLA-DQ 2.5 being in the centerpiece of the range. I'm also guessing that "permissive" is equivalent to "possessing the possibility" to develop active celiac disease and does not address the issue of hetero vs. homozygus per se. But the fact that 2.01,2.01 is a couplet may indicated homozygousity? All wild guesses.

      I received the results that my child has the genes for celiac disease (she is still undergoing testing and it has been complicated). Can someone explain if this is homozygous HLA DQ 2.5 or not? The interpretation just says permissive for celiac disease. Thank you! DQ Alpha 1  05:01, 5 DQ Beta 1 02:01, 02:01 DQ serologic equivalent 2,2

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I am taking thiamine hydrochloride. It's been over a week, and the burning seems to be gone. I am also taking a lower dose B complex with iron. Thank you so much for your help!

      No. It's over the counter. Readily available on Amazon. Good bio availability but shelf-life is not as good as thiamine mononitrate which is the most common form found in over the counter vitamin products.
