I don't want to post that great sentence...because I think its better in the context of the article... you get down and its just WOW when you think what they are almost saying ... and it so agrees with the experiences of so many of the people here (not to mention those who say but I'm not celiac because the biopsy was negative etc.)

No tha't why I said almost ;) but they seem to be implying that there is a connection and also state that is is possible for someone to be celiac and have ONLY Neurological symptoms which I find progressive.

Medical researchers also have taken a new look at celiac disease, or gluten sensitivity, and say it may be "at times an exclusively neurological disease. That's kind of exciting information," Perlmutter said.

A gluten-free diet may relieve digestive or dermatologic symptoms, but celiac disease, unchecked, leads to cognitive impairment.

"Celiac disease may atrophy the brain," he said.

I agree with the doctor in the article, in that this is very exciting news!

Thanks for posting this :)

I believe this is so true. We know gluten causes inflammation and in more people then we think. When the neurotransmitters are firing up constantly it eventually leads to cell death. We are losing brain cells. MSG will do the same thing in people who have leaking brain barriers.

I didn't realize the brain atrophies. So the term pea brain is a valid term. :P

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      Comparing results with different units can be very difficult, or impossible. What are the normal ranges for each result?

      New onset constant gas

      Hi all, I’ve been following a strict gluten-free diet for 1.5 years since I was diagnosed. The last few weeks though I’ve suffered almost continual bloated stomach and flatulence. It literally is almost constant - and I was never this way before. I can’t think of any change to my diet, activity, etc. I’m dying - it’s so uncomfortable and embarrassing to feel l...

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      @Levi, How are you doing? Sorry I missed your posts. How's your thyroid? Did your Vitamin D stabilize? Do you have long hauler syndrome after Covid? Consider switching to Vitamin D 3, the natural form of Vitamin D. Vitamin D 2 is the synthetic form of Vitamin D which the body can have difficulty changing to an active form. Also, Thiamine...

      Gluten free and oat free bars not sugary?

      I'm looking for bars or non perishable snacks for my 2 kids. They are 5 and 3. The 3 year old seems sensitive to oats also. We do a lot of long hikes and bike rides. They eat mostly fresh foods but for these rides and hikes we need easy and non perishable. Also that taste good! We do a lot of larabars and freeze dried apples but those are getting old. Any...

      @Levi, How are you doing?  Sorry I missed your posts.   How's your thyroid?  Did your Vitamin D stabilize?  Do you have long hauler syndrome after Covid? Consider switching to Vitamin D 3, the natural form of Vitamin D.  Vitamin D 2 is the synthetic form of Vitamin D which the body can have difficulty changing to an active form.  Also, Thiamine is needed to active Vitamin D.   Hypothyroidism can be caused by Thiamine deficiency.  The thyroid is an organ that uses lots of thiamine.  sometimes thyroid deficiency can also cause hyperthyroidism, or swings between both hyper- and hypo-thyroidism. We need more Thiamine when we're sick with an infection (like Covid) or injured.  We need more Thiamine when we're physically active.  We need more Thiamine when we're emotionally stressed or worried.  Our brain uses the more Thiamine just thinking than our muscles do while running a marathon.  Thiamine is extremely important in fighting infections.  Covid patients and long haulers have found taking Thiamine has improved their survival rate and long term symptoms.   Consider taking a Thiamine supplement like Benfotiamine which has been scientifically shown to promote intestinal healing.  Damaged villi need thiamine to grow back.   Be sure to take a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine and magnesium make life sustaining enzymes together.  You also need magnesium to keep calcium in the bones.  The thyroid regulates calcium.  A wonky thyroid can lead to reduced bone density.   Remember the B vitamins all work together in concert so adding a B Complex to Benfotiamine and magnesium supplements and Vitamin C would be great in improving absorption of nutrients while we're dealing with celiac disease.
