Go to Google Scholar and type in "celiac depression" and you should have some hits. Click the Recent articles button at the top left and you'll get the more current ones.

Also google gluten and neurological that will bring up should bring up some good papers. If you search here for 'neurological manifestations' there was a link to a good paper also.

I'm going to be watching this carefully. My sister was admitted to the hospital in January, and ended up staying 2 1/2 weeks after having a nervous breakdown.

Karen, I hope that you get the articles you need to explain this to your family. I have tried with mine, but nothing was ever done about it.

She is now home, only taking her meds sporatically, and seeing a therapist every 3 weeks. It's not enough, and I'm very worried. Unfortuantely, there's nothing anyone can do, as she was deemed compatent.

I hope that your half sister is evaluated thoroughly while in the hospital--mine was sent home and told to see her medical doctor. (She has not, and probably won't) They knew she was anemic from a blood panel they took, but never followed up on it even after I gave my mom the information, including my gene test results.

I will keep you and your family in my thoughts--I know how difficult this situation is.

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies?” To me it reads.that you carry the high risk HLADQ2.5 haplotype.

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      Gluten Sensitivity

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?

      I spent my first 50 years eating wheat products every single day with no ill affects. Being a 6’2” Italian you can imagine what my diet was like and believe me I had an appetite that wouldn’t quit. In the 90’s once I discovered the wheat was my problem I avoided it and no longer had IBS.  I seriously doubt I have celiac but I appreciate your input and will let you know if I have a problem with wheat again. I’ve been eating things I’ve longed for for decades and have never felt better.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      I would say two things and then I'm done. Many celiacs have been misdiagnosed for years with IBS. Testing for celiac disease requires regular and significant consumption of gluten for weeks/months in order to be valid.
